Open links in the app, not the browser

A deep link opens specific content inside a mobile app, like a video, a profile or a product, instead of the same page in a web browser.

When someone taps the link on an iPhone or Android phone, Replug opens the content in the app. If the app isn't installed, the link follows your fallback setting: the mobile browser, the App Store or Google Play, or a URL you choose. On desktop, it opens the regular web page.

You decide. By default the link opens in the mobile browser. You can also send people to the App Store or Google Play, or to a landing page of your own with UTM parameters kept. Replug doesn't track installs, and people aren't taken back to the content after installing the app.

Yes. Every tap counts as a click in Replug analytics, with country, city, device, OS, browser and referrer. What people do inside the app isn't tracked.

Deep linking is on the Scale and Agency plans, which include unlimited links and a 14-day free trial. Every account starts on the Free plan.

A regular short link opens a web page in the browser. A deep link opens the same content inside the app, where people are signed in and can follow, subscribe or buy without logging in again.

79 apps on iOS and Android, across social and messaging (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, X), shopping and payments (Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, AliExpress, PayPal), music (Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer, Shazam), video (YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Vimeo) and productivity (Zoom, Slack, Google Maps, Google Docs). Links to other sites work as regular short links.

Only if it's one of the 79 supported apps. Replug works without an SDK, so it can't open content in other apps or track installs. To promote your own app, link to its App Store or Google Play page, or use an app store QR Code.

Yes. Create a QR Code from a deep link and print it on packaging, flyers or posters. Scanned on a phone, it opens the app.
