Firebase Dynamic Links alternative

Firebase Dynamic Links is gone. This is what comes next.

Google shut down Firebase Dynamic Links on August 25, 2025. Smart App Banner replaces it — deep links, smart install banners, campaign tracking, and web push, all from one lightweight script.

If you relied on Firebase Dynamic Links for deferred deep linking, app banners, or attribution, you have already felt the gap. Existing links stopped resolving and there is no Google-supplied successor.

Smart App Banner was built specifically for this transition. Instead of a heavy SDK and platform-specific configuration, you drop in a single script tag. Deep links resolve through the App Store and Play Store on first install, banners adapt to each platform automatically, and every click is tracked with full UTM passthrough.

Best of all, you are not locked into a giant’s roadmap. Smart App Banner is focused entirely on app growth links, so the feature you depend on will not be deprecated out from under you.

Migrate from Firebase Dynamic Links in three steps

1

Add the script

Paste one snippet into your site or landing pages. No native build, no app review cycle, no Gradle or CocoaPods changes.

2

Recreate your links

Map your old Dynamic Links to Smart App Banner links with the same deep link targets and campaign parameters.

3

Track and grow

Watch clicks, installs, and attribution flow into a dashboard that actually makes sense — then layer on web push.
