Redirectly is a combined deep linking and install attribution platform designed specifically for mobile apps. It serves mobile app developers, product managers, and marketing teams who need a clear view of which campaigns drive actual app installs. The core value of Redirectly lies in its unified dashboard that shows every click, install, and conversion attributed back to the specific campaign, channel, device, and country. This eliminates the need for separate tools and costly enterprise solutions, providing essential attribution insights in real time. With Firebase Dynamic Links shutting down in August 2025, many teams are seeking a reliable replacement, and Redirectly positions itself as a straightforward alternative.
The primary problem Redirectly solves is the fragmentation and high cost of deep linking and attribution tools. Firebase Dynamic Links are being killed off, leaving developers without the core mechanism to direct users to specific in-app content after an install. Meanwhile, incumbent platforms like Branch charge around $500 per month, making them prohibitive for small teams and startups. Links often break at the app store, leading to poor user experiences and lost conversions. Redirectly addresses these pain points by offering deferred deep linking that survives the installation process and attribution that ties every install back to its source, all at a starting price of $49 per month. This matters because teams can finally see organic versus paid installs clearly, optimize their ad spend, and ensure users land on the correct screen after installing.
The first major feature is Deferred Deep Linking, which ensures that a link remains valid even if the user has not yet installed the app. When a user clicks a deep link, Redirectly checks if the app is installed. If not, it routes the user to the appropriate app store for download. After installation, the app opens and the user is redirected to the intended in-app content rather than just the home screen. This feature works automatically with the Redirectly SDK and is critical for campaigns that target new users. For example, a promotional link in a social media post can lead directly to a discount page inside the app, even for first-time installers. The benefit is a seamless user experience that boosts conversion rates and reduces drop-off during the install-to-engagement journey.
The second major feature is Install Attribution, which gives teams the ability to trace each install back to the specific campaign, creative, or channel that produced it. The live dashboard breaks down clicks, installs, and conversion rates by campaign, channel, device type, and country. Organic installs are clearly separated from paid ones, eliminating guesswork. The dashboard updates in real time, unlike overnight batch reports from other tools. Users can see, for instance, that a Product Hunt launch drove 38% of installs while Twitter contributed 24%. This granular visibility allows marketing teams to double down on high-performing channels and cut underperforming ones. Attribution data is also exportable and integrates with UTM parameters, creating a single source of truth for mobile growth.

A third group of features includes Platform Routing, Custom Subdomains, and Native SDK support. Platform Routing automatically detects whether the user is on iOS, Android, or desktop and routes them to the correct store or a fallback page with a QR code. Custom Subdomains let teams use a branded domain like links.redirectly.app on every campaign link, reinforcing brand identity. The Native SDKs for Flutter and React Native are built and maintained by Redirectly team, not community forks, ensuring reliability and first-class support. The Flutter SDK is available on pub.dev and is under 50KB, with zero configuration. These features together provide a complete toolset for mobile app deep linking without requiring custom engineering work.
Redirectly works through a simple three-step workflow designed for quick integration. First, developers install the SDK by adding the flutter_redirectly package to their app with a single command. Second, they write a few lines of code to listen for incoming deep links on app start, handling both new installs and returning users. Third, they generate deep links with optional UTM parameters, referral data, or verification tokens, then share those links across any channel. The entire setup takes under 30 minutes, and no additional backend configuration is needed. Once integrated, the marketing team can manage campaigns, view performance data, and generate new links directly from the dashboard. This workflow abstracts away the complexity of deferred linking and attribution, making it accessible to non-engineers.
Concrete use cases for Redirectly include a mobile gaming company running ad campaigns on Facebook and TikTok that wants to know which ad creative drives the most installs. They can create deep links with unique UTM parameters for each ad, then view attribution in the dashboard to optimize spend. Another scenario is a startup launching on Product Hunt; by attaching a Redirectly link to their launch post, they can track exactly how many users install after visiting the page and whether they convert in-app. A team transitioning from Firebase or Branch can switch all existing links to Redirectly's custom subdomains without breaking existing campaigns. The outcomes include clearer ROI on marketing spend, improved user onboarding through deferred deep linking, and significant cost savings.
Target users include mobile app developers working with Flutter or React Native, product managers responsible for go-to-market strategy, and growth marketers who need attribution data without the enterprise price tag. Redirectly supports iOS and Android platforms and works with any app that uses Flutter or React Native, with plans to expand SDK support. Pricing is transparent and straightforward: Starter at $41 per month for solo developers, Growth at $124 per month for small teams, and Scale at $333 per month for companies with higher install volumes. Each plan includes all features, differing only in project count, team members, install limits, and analytics retention. A 14-day free trial requires no credit card. In summary, Redirectly delivers affordable, easy-to-implement deep linking and install attribution that replaces expensive legacy tools.
Mobile app developers using Flutter or React Native, product managers, and growth marketers at startups and small-to-medium businesses. Teams of 1–50 people who need affordable, easy-to-set-up deep linking and install attribution. Ideal for those currently overpaying for enterprise tools like Branch or needing a replacement for Firebase Dynamic Links.
