DL2App and onelink.to compared
onelink.to makes one link that sends each visitor to the right app store. It is simple, inexpensive and has been running for a long time.
DL2App starts from the same idea and goes further into the app: it opens the installed app on a specific screen, and delivers the link after an install.
Side by side
| onelink.toas recorded October 2026 | DL2Appas built today | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Flat pricing from $10 a month, in a group of products priced at $10 to $40. | Free, then $19, $49 or $99 a month, flat. Public on the pricing page. |
| What a link does | Routes each visitor to the right app store. Our research treats it as a store router. | Opens the installed app on a chosen screen through Universal Links and App Links, and otherwise routes to the store or a page you choose. |
| Deferred deep linking | None recorded in our research. | On every plan. Exact on Android through the Play Install Referrer; on iOS a short-window match with an optional clipboard hand-off. Limits are documented and no match rate is quoted. |
| QR codes | One to three saved QR styles depending on plan. | A designer with 16 module shapes, saved brand styles, and a scan test before download. |
| Link lifetime | Advertises unlimited link lifetime, and that links made in 2011 still resolve. | A written promise that links keep redirecting if you stop paying, and an export to run them yourself. DL2App is new and has no such history to point to. |
| SDK | None needed for store routing. | Optional for store routing; needed to land on a screen and for deferred links. |
When onelink.to is the better choice
- All you need is “send people to the right store”, with no app changes at all.
- A long track record matters more to you than features: their links have resolved since 2011.
- You want the lowest paid price for store routing.
What is different about DL2App
- The link opens the app on a screen, not just the store page.
- Someone who installs lands where the link pointed.
- In-app browsers get a hand-off page instead of a dead end.
- A free plan with a custom domain.
What we are not sure of
- We did not test onelink.to ourselves; this reflects its public pricing page as our researchers read it.
- Rows marked “not recorded” mean our research has no information, not that the feature is missing.
