Frequently Asked Questions
How can we help you?
Basic features
Dynalinks is a service that allows you to create dynamic links for your app. Dynamic links is a technology that enables you to send users to specific locations within your app, based on the context of the link they clicked.
As an example, if you are getting a link to your app from a friend, you will be redirected to the your app app if you have it installed on your device. If you don't have the app installed, you will be redirected to the your app website.
Firebase Dynamic Links will be discontinued in 2025. If you are seeking a straightforward service for creating dynamic links for your app, Dynalinks is the solution for you.
The link will have the format
{chosen-subdomain}.dynalink.app/{chosen-path}. We also support custom domains on pro plan.
First, you sign up and setup your project by choosing its name and subdomain. Then you register your app by providing its platform and package name or bundle identifier. Finally, you create a link by providing the path, query parameters and information which app should it open.
We support deferred deep linking on Android if you are on paid tier.
No, we support it on Android only.
We are researching on how to support this on iOS, but there is no any specific timeline for it.
Yes, we offer a basic free plan that allows you to access core features of our service. For users who need more advanced capabilities, we also provide a paid plan with additional features and higher usage limits. You can start with the free plan to explore the service and upgrade if you require enhanced functionality.
We definitely not planning to shutdown this project anytime soon. We are committed to providing a reliable service to our users and will continue to support Dynalinks for the foreseeable future.
