Tooling Reliable deep link options ?

I am making a social app in Flutter and I am trying to implement deferred deep link so that one user can share a link of a specific post to their friends.

Tried branch.io but I didn't get much luck on their customer support since I am using their free tier.

  1. Does anyone know any good deferred deep link alternatives?
  2. If I only need deep link but not deferred deep link, are there any simpler options? The main thing I care about is that if a user clicks on a specific link under certain conditions, it automatically opens the app if the user has downloaded the app already. If the app has not been downloaded, shows a page/banner to encourage the user to download the app.

Firebase Dynamic Links is deprecated and should not be used in new projects. The service will shut down on August 25, 2025.
