The best Branch alternatives in 2026

Common questions
What is the best Branch alternative?
Linkrunner. Every link is dynamic and deferred by default, attribution is built in, and pricing is published, starting with 25k free installs.
Does Branch have a free plan?
No permanent free plan is published. Branch's Basics tier is a trial limited to 3 ad partners.
What is a mobile measurement partner (MMP)?
An MMP is a third-party tool that attributes app installs and in-app events to the ad, link or channel that drove them. It also sends those results back to ad networks such as Meta, Google and TikTok so they can optimise campaigns.
Which MMPs publish their prices?
Linkrunner, Singular, Tenjin and Kochava publish per-unit or plan prices, and Airbridge publishes a starting price. AppsFlyer publishes its Growth rate but not Enterprise, while Adjust and Branch quote through sales.
What is the difference between an install and a conversion in MMP pricing?
An install is a new user credited to a campaign. A conversion usually covers attributed installs plus re-engagements, so conversion-based bills grow with retargeting as well as new users.
What is deferred deep linking?
Deferred deep linking sends a user who doesn't have the app yet through the app store and then opens the right screen after install. It matters for referral, influencer and campaign links where the landing screen affects conversion.
