HighGrow vs Firebase Dynamic Links: the migration path Google recommends you find
Google deprecated Firebase Dynamic Links — new links cannot be created and existing links will stop working. HighGrow is built as a drop-in replacement with device-aware routing, deferred deep linking, analytics, and a Firebase import tool.
Bottom line
Firebase Dynamic Links is no longer a viable long-term choice. HighGrow is the practical replacement for teams that relied on FDL for onboarding, referrals, and campaign URLs.

When Firebase Dynamic Links wins
Firebase Dynamic Links is only relevant for legacy links still in circulation during the shutdown window. You should migrate, not expand usage.
When HighGrow wins
HighGrow is the right choice if you used Firebase Dynamic Links for app invites, referral codes, email campaigns, or QR-to-app flows and need a supported platform going forward.
FAQ
- When did Firebase Dynamic Links shut down?
- Google stopped creating new Firebase Dynamic Links in 2025 and is sunsetting the service. Migrate existing links before they stop resolving.
- How do I migrate Firebase links to HighGrow?
- Go to Dashboard → Migration, upload your Firebase export, review mapped URLs, and update your app SDK. Test deferred deep links before cutover.
