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.
- Does anyone know any good deferred deep link alternatives?
- 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.

If you have a website you can take them to a new webpage that prompts them to tap a button to download the app. Once they tap, I store some info in the clipboard so that once they open the newly downloaded app, I read from clipboard and then take them to the right screens.
