Branch.io Alternative: Codelloy Deep Linking Platform
Branch.io is powerful but expensive and complex. Codelloy delivers deep linking and per-link click analytics with transparent pricing and a faster setup, built for teams that move fast.
Our Verdict
Codelloy is the better choice for teams that need deep linking, per-link click analytics, and branded links without an enterprise contract. Branch.io remains strong for very large organizations that need full mobile attribution and are already invested in their ecosystem.
Choose Codelloy if you need:
Deep linking, click and QR scan analytics, and smart routing, without the enterprise pricing and sales process.
Stick with Branch.io if you need:
Your team is already deeply integrated into the Branch SDK and needs advanced enterprise features like mobile attribution, email deep links, web-to-app journeys, or CTV attribution.
What Branch.io does well
- Mature SDK with deep iOS and Android integration
- Advanced attribution for large-scale campaigns
- Email deep linking support
- Broad enterprise integrations (Salesforce, Braze, etc.)
Where Branch.io falls short
- Pricing is opaque: requires a sales call for most plans
- Complex setup with a steep learning curve
- No self-serve free tier for smaller teams
- Overkill for teams that just need smart deep links and click analytics
