Link shortener
URX vs Flyn: which one for your app?
URX sends iPhone to the App Store and Android to Google Play on its free plan; Flyn's pricing page says device routing is not on its Free plan. URX's free plan also includes a Bio Page and SVG QR codes, which Flyn keeps for Pro.
Flyn (flyn.to) is a link shortener pitched as a Bitly alternative for growth teams, with analytics, QR codes, a Chrome extension and an API.
Choose URX if
you make an app or share one, and want a free link that sends each phone to its store, with a $9 plan that opens the app.
Choose Flyn instead if
you want no cap on tracked clicks on a free plan, a one-time lifetime price, or unlimited links for $9 a month billed yearly.

Is there a free Flyn alternative for app links?
Yes. URX's free plan sends iPhone visitors to the App Store, Android visitors to Google Play and everyone else to your website, with 25 Smart Links, 1,000 clicks a month, QR codes, a Bio Page and 30 days of click analytics. Past the monthly clicks, links keep working: visitors see a short URX page first until the month resets.
Can Flyn send iPhone users to the App Store on the free plan?
No. Flyn's pricing FAQ says device and country routing is on Pro, Lifetime and Team, and not on the Free plan (checked 24 October 2026).
When is Flyn the better choice?
When you want uncapped click tracking on a free plan or a one-time lifetime price instead of a subscription.
