The Firebase Dynamic Links replacement that doesn't shut down
Google shut down Firebase Dynamic Links in August 2025. Smler gives you everything FDL did (dynamic links, smart routing, deferred deep linking) plus install attribution FDL never had. Free at 25,000 attributed installs per month.
Feature-by-feature mapping
Everything you relied on Firebase Dynamic Links for, and what it maps to in Smler.

Deferred Deep Linking | Included on Free Probabilistic matching plus Android Install Referrer. 25,000 attributed installs per month, no card. |
Short Link Domains (page.link) | smler.link subdomain or custom domain Free subdomain on every plan. Custom domains from Builder ($19/mo). |

What's different from FDL today
Smler does not have a Firebase console integration. Our interface is a REST API and a web dashboard, which is the direction Firebase itself was moving before it shut down FDL. If you relied on the Firebase console for link management, you will use the Smler dashboard or API instead. We think this is a better long-term foundation, but it is a real difference and we want you to know about it before you migrate.
