Google permanently shut down Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL) on August 25, 2025, and every existing FDL URL now fails to route. If you're searching for an alternative in 2026, the first thing to know is that "FDL" meant two very different things to different teams: most used it simply to send users to the right app store, while some relied on its deferred deep linking to drop new users onto a specific in-app screen after install. The best replacement depends entirely on which of those you need — picking a heavy attribution SDK when you only needed store routing is the most common (and most expensive) mistake. This guide ranks the real alternatives by use case so you can choose in minutes.
