Like Linktree,
but built for app downloads.
Linktree is great for sharing everything you do, and its Premium plan now lists dynamic links and smart routing. appqr.io focuses on one job: sending each visitor to the right app store, with that routing included from the free tier.
TL;DR
- Linktree Premium includes dynamic links and smart routing; appqr.io includes device-aware app-store routing on every plan
- One appqr.io URL covers five app stores without configuring a general-purpose bio page
- Includes a customizable QR code and an app landing page with tagline, colors, background image, and extra links
- They're complementary: put your appqr.io link inside your Linktree as the download button

Being honest: where Linktree wins
This isn't a dunk on Linktree. It's the standard link-in-bio tool for a reason, and appqr.io doesn't try to replace it.
- One page for everything: socials, videos, music, merch, newsletters, tip jars. appqr.io's landing page is focused on a single app.
- A huge ecosystem of integrations and templates built for creators.
- If your app is just one of many things you share, keep your Linktree — and put your appqr.io smart link inside it.
Where appqr.io wins for app downloads
Device detection, automatic routing
appqr.io reads the visitor's device and sends iPhones to the App Store, Android phones to Google Play, and Huawei devices to AppGallery. This purpose-built routing is included on every plan.
Five stores in one purpose-built link
appqr.io handles the App Store, Google Play, Huawei AppGallery, Samsung Galaxy Store, and Amazon Appstore from one short link. Linktree reserves dynamic links and smart routing for Premium.
A landing page designed for apps
Desktop visitors see a customizable app page: your icon, tagline, brand colors, background image, store badges, and extra links — not a generic list of buttons.
Customizable QR codes for print and packaging
Generate a QR code with your colors, dot shapes, and logo. Scanning it routes each phone to its own store automatically.
Analytics about downloads, not bio visits
See clicks by device, country, referrer, and time — so you know where your app installs are coming from.
Your app deserves more
than a button in a bio.
