What you get on a paid DeepLinkNow plan
The free plan already does deep links and deferred deep links. Startup and Growth add your own domain, a link page that looks like your app, and room to grow.
The free plan isn't a trial. It covers 25,000 monthly active users, every SDK (iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter), Universal Links and App Links, deferred deep links, and on-demand links, where any path on your link domain works without creating it first. No card. Plenty of apps never need more.
Paying changes three things: the domain your links live on, what people see on the page between the tap and the store, and how much you can do. Prices below are as of October 2026; pricing always has the current table.
Your own domain
On the free plan, links live on yourapp.deeplinknow.com. Startup ($49 a month) lets you put them on a subdomain you own, like go.yourapp.com, for up to three apps. Growth ($149) has no domain limit.
You add a CNAME and the verification records the dashboard shows you, and DeepLinkNow serves everything on that domain: the link page, and the apple-app-site-association and assetlinks.json files iOS and Android check before they open your app.
Three reasons people do this:
- A link on your own domain reads as yours in a message, a QR code or an email. People tap links they recognise.
- The links belong to you. If you ever leave DeepLinkNow, you point the CNAME somewhere else and every link you've printed or shared keeps its address.
- Ad blockers work from lists of domains. The ad-block checker shows whether a domain, its parents or anything it points to is on the common lists, so you can check yours before you print it on anything.
A link page that looks like your app
If the app isn't installed, the tap lands on a short page that sends people to the right store and carries the link through the install. On the free plan that page shows your app's name and icon, standard text, and a "Powered by DeepLinkNow" footer.
On a paid plan:
- The footer goes.
- You set the title, subtitle and button text for the whole app, and override them on any single link.
- Text can pull values from the link's query string. A title of
{{from || 'A friend'}} invited youreads "Sam invited you" ongo.yourapp.com/invite?from=Sam, and "A friend invited you" when there's no name. This works on on-demand links too, so one template covers every invite. - The page is translated into 14 languages, picked from the visitor's browser language.
- On Android you can skip the page and go straight to Google Play. The install referrer still carries the link, so nothing is lost.
- If your app is only on one store, a fallback URL sends visitors on the other platform to your website instead of leaving them on the page.
Previews in iMessage, Slack and WhatsApp
When someone pastes a link into a chat, the app fetches the page and builds a preview card. On the free plan that card says "Your App - DeepLinkNow" with a generic image.
Paid plans set the preview's title, description and image per app or per link, and the same query-string templates work there. An invite link can show the inviter's name in the preview before anyone taps it.
Control over which paths work
On-demand links mean any path on your domain becomes a link the first time someone opens it. That's the point, but sometimes you want limits. Paid plans add link rules: turn off auto-created links entirely, allow only paths that match a pattern (say ^(invite|product)/), and send everything else to a not-found URL of your choice.
More of everything
| Developer (free) | Startup ($49/mo) | Growth ($149/mo) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SDK monthly active users | 25,000 | 100,000 | 500,000 |
| Deep links (distinct paths, all-time) | 1,000 | 10,000 | 50,000 |
| Apps | 1 | 3 | Unlimited |
| Custom domains | None | 3 | Unlimited |
| Team members | 1 | 3 | 5 |
| Management API requests a month | None | 10,000 | 50,000 |
| Support | Discord |
Links are counted by path, so /invite?from=Sam and /invite?from=Alex are one link.
The management API lets your backend create and update links, for example making a link for each new referral code, or pulling link and click data into your own tools. It's on Startup and up.
Team members get admin or member roles, so the rest of your team can edit link pages and see clicks without sharing a login.
Enterprise
Enterprise starts at $500 a month, billed annually by invoice against a purchase order. It adds single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace (with SSO required for your company's email domain), a data processing agreement, custom volumes and priority support. It's for companies whose IT and procurement teams need to sign off. Get in touch if that's you.
Billing
Startup and Growth are monthly, by card, and you can cancel any time; the paid features stay until the end of the period you've paid for. If you move back to free, your custom text, previews and rules are kept but switched off, and they come back as they were if you upgrade again. You can change plans from Settings in the dashboard.
