Introducing WarpLink: Deep Linking for Mobile Developers

The Problem: Deep Linking Shouldn't Cost $75K/Year

In August 2025, Google deprecated Firebase Dynamic Links. Overnight, thousands of mobile developers lost their go-to deep linking solution — and the alternatives weren't kind to small budgets.

Enterprise deep linking platforms start at $75,000 per year. The remaining alternatives are priced for teams with dedicated mobile marketing budgets. For a solo developer shipping a side project, or a small startup watching every dollar, these options simply don't exist.

We built WarpLink to fix that.

What Is WarpLink?

WarpLink is a deep linking platform for developers and small teams. It gives you everything you need to connect your web and app experiences — deep links, deferred deep links, install attribution, and click analytics — without enterprise pricing or sales calls.

Every link resolves at the Cloudflare edge in under 10 milliseconds. Your users get instant redirects, your app gets the context it needs, and you get the analytics to understand what's working.

Core Capabilities

Deep links take users directly to specific content inside your app. If the app is installed, the user lands on the right screen. If not, they're sent to the app store or a fallback URL — no broken experiences.

Deferred deep links remember the intended destination across the install flow. A user clicks a link, installs your app from the store, opens it for the first time, and lands exactly where the link pointed. The context survives the install.

Install attribution connects the dots between a link click and an app install. WarpLink uses a privacy-respecting cascade — referrer, device ID (IDFV), and device fingerprint — to match installs to the clicks that drove them. No IDFA, no ATT prompts required.

Click analytics show you what's happening with your links: clicks over time, unique vs. total, device breakdown, country distribution, and referrer sources. Click deduplication happens in Postgres, not at the edge, so your numbers are accurate.

Transparent Pricing

No sales calls. No "contact us for pricing." Every plan is listed publicly:

Free — $0/month, 10,000 clicks, 1 team member
Starter — $19/month, 100,000 clicks, 3 team members
Growth — $49/month, 500,000 clicks, 10 team members
Scale — $99/month, 2,000,000 clicks, unlimited team members

If you're building a hobby project or validating an idea, the free tier is genuinely free — forever. When you grow, upgrade in two clicks from the dashboard.

Open Source SDKs

All three SDKs are MIT-licensed with zero third-party dependencies:

iOS — Swift, distributed via Swift Package Manager
Android — Kotlin, distributed via Maven Central
React Native — TypeScript bridge to native SDKs, distributed via npm

Each SDK handles deep link routing (cold start and warm start), deferred deep link resolution, and install attribution. Integration takes about 30 minutes.

Built Different: Technical Decisions That Matter

Cloudflare edge redirects. Every link click resolves entirely at a Cloudflare Worker — no origin server round-trip. The Worker reads link config from KV, parses the user agent, and returns a 302 redirect. Click events are pushed to a Cloudflare Queue asynchronously. Result: sub-10ms latency globally, across 300+ edge cities.

Postgres-based click deduplication. Click uniqueness is computed in-database during batch inserts via an atomic CTE query. This guarantees perfect accuracy — no eventual consistency issues from edge-side dedup.

Privacy-first attribution. WarpLink doesn't collect IDFA. IP addresses are hashed before storage — raw IPs are never persisted. Device fingerprinting uses standard signals (screen size, OS version, locale) without invasive browser fingerprinting. Our iOS SDK uses IDFV, which is exempt from ATT consent prompts.

Social previews for bots. When a bot (Twitter, Slack, iMessage) fetches a WarpLink URL, it gets full HTML with Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. Real users get a fast 302 redirect. Your shared links look great in every chat app and social feed.
