Best Firebase Dynamic Links Alternative in 2026

The Post-Firebase Deep Linking Landscape

With Firebase Dynamic Links officially deprecated, developers need a reliable alternative. The market has several options, but most are designed for enterprise teams with enterprise pricing. If you're a developer or small team, the landscape looks different.

Here's what matters for smaller teams: simple setup, predictable pricing, and no vendor lock-in. You shouldn't need a sales call to get deep linking working.

What to Look For

When evaluating alternatives, focus on these criteria:

// A good deep linking SDK should be this simple
import { WarpLink } from '@warplink/react-native';

WarpLink.configure({ apiKey: 'wl_live_xxx' });

// Handle deep links — cold start and warm start
WarpLink.onDeepLink((link) => {
  navigation.navigate(link.path, link.params);
});

// Handle deferred deep links after install
const deferred = await WarpLink.getDeferredDeepLink();
if (deferred) {
  navigation.navigate(deferred.path, deferred.params);
}

Why WarpLink

WarpLink was built specifically for the gap Firebase left behind:

• Free tier — 10,000 clicks/month at no cost, no credit card required
• Edge performance — Every redirect resolves at Cloudflare's edge network in under 10ms
• Native SDKs — iOS (Swift/SPM), Android (Kotlin/Maven Central), React Native (TypeScript/npm)
• Zero dependencies — All SDKs have zero third-party dependencies
• Open source SDKs — MIT licensed, inspect and contribute to the code

Pricing That Makes Sense

Most deep linking platforms start at $100+/month. WarpLink's pricing is designed for developers and small teams: free for small projects, and graduated tiers as you grow. No per-link fees, no feature gating behind enterprise plans.
