Example Flow
Deep linking, attribution, and referrals — integrated with two API calls.
Someone clicks your link, downloads your app, and opens it for the first time — Linktrace makes sure they land on the right screen, not just your home page. Works through the App Store and Play Store redirect. Drop-in replacement for Firebase Dynamic Links.
Example Flow
You're running three experiments — a referral program, an influencer partnership, and an App Store feature. Two weeks later you have 400 new installs. Linktrace tells you which one actually worked.
Example Flow
Give each user a unique referral link. When someone installs through it, you know exactly who referred them — so you can reward the users actually driving growth, not just sharing.
Example Flow
Full deep linking, attribution, and referrals — without the enterprise price tag or week-long SDK integration.

LinkTrace is a mobile attribution and deep linking API for app developers and startups. It tracks which links drove app installs, enables deferred deep linking so new users land on the right in-app screen after installing, and powers referral programs — all with two API calls and no SDK required.
No. LinkTrace is entirely API-based. Integration requires two standard HTTP POST requests: one from your server to create a tracking link, and one from your mobile app on first launch to record the install. There is no SDK to download, configure, or keep updated.
Most developers complete the full integration in under an hour. The first API call creates a referral or campaign link. The second API call, made from your mobile app on first launch, records the attribution. Both endpoints require only an API key and one required parameter each.
Deferred deep linking solves a specific problem: a user clicks a link before they have the app installed. Without it, they get sent to the App Store, install the app, and open the home screen — losing the original context entirely. With deferred deep linking, that context is preserved. LinkTrace captures the intended destination at click time, routes the user through the App Store or Play Store, and on first launch delivers them directly to the right in-app screen — a product page, referral welcome, or personalised onboarding flow. It works on both iOS and Android with no SDK required.
LinkTrace uses a 24-hour attribution window. If a user installs the app within 24 hours of clicking a referral link, the install is attributed and the API returns the full link metadata — including referrer, source, campaign, and custom payload. Installs outside this window return attributed: false.
Yes. LinkTrace is purpose-built as a Firebase Dynamic Links replacement. Firebase Dynamic Links reached end-of-life in August 2025. LinkTrace provides the same core functionality — deferred deep linking, install attribution, and referral tracking — with a free plan and paid tiers from $9.99/month, with no SDK requirement.
Yes. The Starter plan is free forever and includes 100 Dynamic Links, 1,000 attributed installs, deferred deep linking, and referral tracking — enough to fully validate the integration and run a small referral program. No credit card is required to sign up.
Add deep linking, install attribution, and referral tracking to your app with two API calls. No SDK. No enterprise contract. Free to start.
