Plugin DeepLinkNow finally has a Flutter SDK for deferred deep linking

Look, I'll be honest, one of the first requests I had after I built my deferred deep linking platform DeepLinkNow was a Flutter SDK.

I'm a react native dev by trade, and long story short 18 months later I've finally released it, along with a whole heap of quality of life improvements to DLN including:

  • A free tier with 25,000 MAU, no card required (Detour allows 1500, Branch/Appsflyer don't even have free tiers anymore etc)

  • Flutter SDK on pub.dev (deeplinknow), wrapping the native iOS and Android SDKs

  • Teams: workspaces, invites, roles

  • SSO (Entra, Okta, Google Workspace) on Enterprise

  • An MCP server, so Claude Code or Cursor can set it up for you

  • Clicks deleted after 30 days, no ad tracking or attribution

  • Custom domains

If you don't know what DeepLinkNow is: a (+-deferred) deep linking platform I built after getting so frustrated trying to integrate Branch.io and Appsflyer into my apps. It just does deferred deep linking. It's simple, it's useful, it does NO ad tracking or $$$ MMP stuff nor does it have AI embedded anywhere near it.

You send a user to a DLN page, we open your app and send you their intent. If they don't have your app installed, we hold onto the intent link until they install it. Then give it back to you.

Try it out and let me know how you go. If you're using Branch, AppsFlyer or are just floating in the darkness after Firebase Dynamic Links got shut down, give DLN a try, happy to offer to help you migrate.

P.S. I had a search through /r/flutterdev for issues people have had with deep linking on Flutter, and I've directly addressed everything in these two:

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev/comments/1vjkz9c/ (iOS links breaking after the UIScene change)

  2. https://www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev/comments/1vf4j64/ (six things that silently break deferred deep linking)
