DeepLinkNow vs Airbridge
Airbridge is a mobile measurement platform with deep linking built in. It's an MMP all the same: links get created up front, the SDK reads advertising IDs, and on iOS the deferred link can sit waiting for the user to answer the tracking prompt.

| Topic | DeepLinkNow | Airbridge |
|---|---|---|

Where DeepLinkNow is ahead
- A free plan up to 25,000 monthly active users, with deferred deep links and no card.
- No attribution, no advertising IDs, no ATT prompt. A deferred link can be claimed for 1 hour after the click, and stored fingerprints are deleted within 30 days.
- Any path on your link domain is already a link, with no prefix and nothing to create first.
- No DeepLinkNow domain is on AdGuard or EasyPrivacy, so ad blockers don't stop the link page.
- iOS clipboard handoff on every plan: the link page copies the link and the SDK reads it on first launch.
- Every fingerprint match comes back with a 0 to 100 score and a HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW label, so you decide what to trust.
Pick Airbridge if…
- You want a full MMP, with ad network integrations and attribution.
If you just need links that open the right screen after install, don't pay for the rest.
The pricing math
Airbridge's Core plan starts at $40 a month for 500,000 data points, then $0.0001 per data point. Its pricing calculator (checked October 21, 2026) counts about 14.4 data points per monthly user at its default setting: 8,000 users is 115,200 data points and 50,000 users is 720,000.[1][2]
At 100,000 monthly users, Airbridge's calculator works out to about 1.44 million data points: $40 plus 940,000 extra at $0.0001, so about $134 a month, and more as you track more events. On DeepLinkNow, Startup is a flat $49 a month for up to 100,000 monthly users with your own domain, and below 25,000 monthly users it's free.
