Comparison
OneLink Alternative: AppPage vs Onelink.to
AppPage is a OneLink alternative that costs $9/month for unlimited app links, compared with $80/month on Onelink.to’s Enterprise plan. Both tools turn one link into a device-aware redirect to the App Store or Google Play. AppPage adds a hosted landing page per app and an escape route for Instagram and Facebook in-app browsers, where App Store links silently fail on iOS.

AppPage vs Onelink.to pricing
The gap is widest at the top of the range. Both tools are inexpensive for a handful of links; unlimited links is where they diverge sharply.
| Plan | AppPage | Onelink.to |
|---|---|---|
| Entry paid plan | $5/month - 5 links, full analytics | $10/month - 10 links, 1 custom domain, stats API |
| Unlimited links | $9/month | $80/month |
| Annual billing | $50/year (Pro), $90/year (Advanced) | $100/year (Professional), $800/year (Enterprise) |
| Tier at no cost | 1 link, 50 clicks in total, full analytics | 3 links, ad-free for 3 months + 1K clicks/month |
| Analytics retention | Full history | 90 days on their no-cost tier, 2 years on paid |
Bottom line: if you manage more than ten links, AppPage Advanced at $9/month covers unlimited links, while the equivalent on Onelink.to is the $80/month Enterprise tier.

Where AppPage is the better choice
Unlimited links at $9/month instead of $80
Onelink.to prices by link count: 10 links at $10/month, 200 at $25, 500 at $40, unlimited at $80. AppPage has two tiers, and the second one is unlimited. If you publish several apps, or a link per campaign, the difference compounds every month.
Links that survive Instagram and Facebook
Instagram opens links in an embedded browser that cannot hand off to the App Store on iOS, so the visitor lands on a blank page and leaves. AppPage detects those webviews and serves a page that escapes to the store, while leaving Android and ordinary Safari traffic on a direct redirect. Onelink.to’s site does not document this case. How the Instagram bio link works.
A landing page, not just a redirect
Every AppPage link comes with a hosted page carrying your screenshots, description, rating and store badges. It gives you somewhere to send desktop visitors and anyone who wants to look before installing, instead of a redirect that has nowhere to go.
Store compliance pages included
Both stores ask for a privacy policy URL, and ad networks ask for app-ads.txt. AppPage generates privacy policy and terms pages and hosts app-ads.txt on your domain, which removes a separate hosting chore.
Is there a free Onelink.to alternative?
Not one that beats Onelink.to’s own free tier for permanent links. Onelink.to gives you 3 links at no cost, though their pricing page limits ad-free redirects to 3 months plus 1,000 clicks per month. AppPage’s Free plan is 1 link that stops redirecting after 50 clicks: enough to test from Instagram on an iPhone, not enough to run a campaign on. GoToApp also has a tier at no cost covering up to 3 apps.
Once you pay, the order flips. Onelink.to starts at $10/month for 10 links and moves to $25/month at 11; AppPage is $5/month for 5 links and $9/month for unlimited.
Onelink.to alternative for QR codes on print and packaging
For print, the QR code should point at a link you control, not at a store URL. A printed code cannot be changed, so the only way to fix a moved listing or a new app ID is to change where the link behind it goes.
- Edit without reprinting. AppPage QR codes encode your AppPage link. Change the App Store or Google Play URL later and every printed code follows.
- One code for both stores. iPhone scanners go to the App Store, Android scanners to Google Play, and desktop scanners to your web fallback or the app’s landing page.
- Scans show up in analytics. Scans are counted as clicks, by platform and country, alongside the rest of your traffic.
- Keep the link active. A code on packaging lives for years, so it needs a paid plan; a Free link stops after 50 clicks.
To try the format first, the free App Store QR code generator makes a code with your app icon in the middle.
When should you stay on Onelink.to?
It is a mature product and there are cases where it is the right answer.
- You need a tier that costs nothing. Onelink.to gives you 3 links at no cost. AppPage’s Free plan is one link that stops after 50 clicks - enough to see it work, not enough to run a campaign on.
- You need team seats. Their plans include up to 100 users. AppPage is built around a single account.
- You need a stats API. Onelink.to offers one from the $10/month plan. AppPage does not expose one today.
- You value longevity. Onelink.to has operated since 2011 and reports more than 20 billion clicks served. That is a track record a newer tool cannot match.
How to switch from Onelink.to
Existing onelink.to URLs cannot be moved, because the domain is theirs. The practical path is to stand up the new link and migrate traffic gradually.
- Recreate your links. Paste each App Store or Google Play URL into AppPage; the app details are pulled in automatically.
- Choose your slugs. Pick the ending of each link so the new URLs are ones you are happy to keep long term.
- Update the places you control. Bio links, ad destinations, email footers, and any new print or QR material.
- Leave the old links running. Keep the Onelink.to account until its traffic drops to near zero, then cancel.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to Onelink.to?
AppPage is the closest direct alternative: both create one link that detects the visitor’s device and routes them to the App Store, Google Play or a web fallback, and both include QR codes and click analytics. The practical differences are price at the unlimited tier ($9/month versus $80/month), a hosted landing page per app, and an escape route for in-app browsers that cannot open the App Store.
How much does Onelink.to cost?
As of October 2026, Onelink.to lists a free tier with 3 links, Professional at $10/month for 10 links, Team at $25/month for 200 links, Team Plus at $40/month for 500 links, and Enterprise at $80/month for unlimited links. AppPage has a Free plan with 1 link capped at 50 clicks in total, then charges $5/month for 5 links and $9/month for unlimited links, both with unlimited clicks. Check their pricing page for current figures.
Does Onelink.to have a free plan?
Yes. Onelink.to’s free tier includes 3 links with 90 days of stats retention, though their pricing page states ad-free is limited to 3 months plus 1,000 clicks per month. AppPage’s Free plan is narrower: 1 link that stops redirecting after 50 clicks, with full analytics history. If you need a few permanent links and will not pay for them, Onelink.to is the cheaper option.
Is there a free Onelink.to alternative?
Not from AppPage in any lasting sense: its Free plan is 1 link that stops redirecting after 50 clicks, which is enough to test, not to run a campaign on. Onelink.to’s own tier with 3 links at no cost is the stronger free option, and GoToApp also has a tier at no cost. Once you pay, AppPage is cheaper at every link count: $5/month for 5 links and $9/month for unlimited, against $10/month for 10 links on Onelink.to.
Which Onelink.to alternative is best for QR codes on print and packaging?
Any tool whose QR code points at its own short link rather than straight at a store, because that is what lets you change where the code goes after it is printed. AppPage QR codes encode your AppPage link, so editing the App Store or Google Play URL later does not mean reprinting. The trade-off is that the link has to stay active, which on AppPage means a paid plan.
Why do app store links break inside Instagram?
Instagram opens links in its own embedded browser rather than Safari, and that browser cannot hand off to the App Store app on iOS. The navigation is dropped and the visitor sees a blank page. AppPage detects those webviews and serves a page that escapes to the store. Onelink.to’s marketing site does not document how it handles this case.
Can I move my links from Onelink.to to AppPage?
You can recreate them, but existing onelink.to URLs cannot be transferred because the domain belongs to them. The usual approach is to set up the AppPage link, update your bio, ads and print material to the new URL, and leave the old link in place for as long as it still receives traffic.
Is Onelink.to still a good product?
Yes. It has been running since 2011 and reports over 20 billion clicks served, which is a track record no newer tool can claim. If you need many team seats, an uncapped free tier for a handful of links, or a stats API, it may suit you better. AppPage is the better fit if you want unlimited links cheaply, landing pages, or in-app browser handling.
