Adjust is a mobile measurement and attribution platform used by large-scale apps for install attribution, fraud prevention, and campaign analytics. It also provides deep linking through its "LinkMe" feature. If you are evaluating Adjust for deep linking specifically, or comparing it against dedicated deep linking platforms, understanding the actual cost structure is important.

This article breaks down Adjust's pricing model, what is included at each tier, and how it compares to Tolinku for teams whose primary need is deep linking.

For a direct feature comparison, see Tolinku vs Adjust. For migration guidance, see migrating from Adjust.

Adjust's Pricing Model

Adjust uses custom, quote-based pricing. There are no public price pages with fixed monthly costs. To get a price, you contact their sales team and receive a quote based on:

  • Monthly tracked installs (MTI). The primary billing metric. This counts the number of app installs attributed to paid or organic channels each month.
  • Feature tier. Adjust offers multiple packages (Base, Core, Enterprise) with different feature sets.
  • Add-ons. Features like fraud prevention (Fraud Prevention Suite), audience builder, and advanced analytics are often sold as add-ons.
  • Contract length. Annual contracts are standard. Monthly billing is generally not available or priced at a premium.

Estimated Cost Ranges

Based on publicly available information and industry reporting as of 2026:

Scale Estimated Monthly Cost Notes
Small app (< 10K MTI) $500-1,500/mo Base package, limited features
Mid-size app (10K-100K MTI) $1,500-5,000/mo Core package
Large app (100K-1M MTI) $5,000-15,000/mo Enterprise features
Enterprise (1M+ MTI) $15,000+/mo Custom negotiation

These are estimates. Actual pricing depends on negotiation, contract terms, and bundled features.

What Is Included

Attribution (Core Product)

Adjust's core value proposition is mobile attribution: knowing which ad campaign, channel, or organic source drove each app install. This includes:

  • Install attribution across paid channels (Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, etc.).
  • Organic install tracking.
  • Re-engagement and re-attribution.
  • SKAdNetwork (SKAN) support for iOS privacy-compliant attribution.
  • Server-to-server (S2S) integrations with ad networks.

Deep Linking (LinkMe)

Adjust's deep linking feature, called LinkMe, provides:

  • Basic deep links that route users to specific app content.
  • Deferred deep linking (routing after install).
  • Universal Links and App Links support.
  • Fallback to web or app store.

Deep linking is typically included in the base package, but advanced deep linking features may require higher tiers.

Additional Features (Often Add-Ons)

  • Fraud Prevention Suite. Detects and rejects fraudulent installs. Often a significant additional cost.
  • Audience Builder. Create audience segments based on attribution data.
  • Analytics. Dashboard with cohort analysis, retention, LTV projections.
  • Data export. Raw data export for your own analysis.

Hidden Costs to Consider

Minimum commitments. Adjust typically requires annual contracts with minimum spend commitments. If your app's install volume is unpredictable, you may pay for capacity you do not use.

Overage charges. Exceeding your contracted MTI triggers overage fees. These can be substantial during unexpected growth periods or viral moments.

Integration time. Adjust's SDK is comprehensive but complex. Budget for developer time to integrate, configure, and maintain the SDK across platforms.

Feature gating. Some features that you might consider essential (fraud prevention, raw data export) are add-ons rather than included features. The base price may not include everything you need.

Support tiers. Premium support (dedicated account manager, faster response times) may be an additional cost.

Adjust vs Tolinku: When to Use Each

Adjust and Tolinku serve different primary use cases. Choosing between them depends on what problem you are solving.

Choose Adjust When

  • Attribution is your primary need. You need to know which ad campaigns drive installs and optimize your paid marketing spend.
  • You have significant ad spend. Adjust's value scales with your marketing budget. If you spend $50K+/month on user acquisition, attribution data pays for itself.
  • You need fraud prevention. Adjust's fraud prevention suite is a core differentiator. If install fraud is a concern, this is valuable.
  • Enterprise scale. Apps with millions of monthly installs and complex multi-channel attribution needs.

Choose Tolinku When

  • Deep linking is your primary need. You want to route users to specific app content from web, email, social, QR codes, or referrals.
  • You need AASA and assetlinks.json management. Tolinku generates and hosts your app verification files automatically.
  • You want transparent pricing. Tolinku's pricing is published: free tier available, paid plans starting at $39/month per Appspace.
  • You need smart banners and web-to-app features. Tolinku provides smart banners, landing pages, and web SDK out of the box.
  • Startup or small team. The free tier gives you 1 Appspace, 5 routes, and 1,200 clicks/month with no credit card required.

Use Both Together

Adjust for attribution and Tolinku for deep linking is a valid architecture. Adjust handles measuring where your users come from. Tolinku handles getting users to the right content inside your app. The two can coexist without conflict: Adjust tracks the install attribution, and Tolinku manages the deep link routing and fallback logic.

Cost Comparison

Feature Adjust Tolinku
Starting price ~$500/mo (quote-based) Free ($0/mo)
Paid starting price ~$500/mo $39/mo per Appspace
Deep linking Included Core feature
Attribution Core feature Basic click analytics
Smart banners Not included Included
AASA/assetlinks hosting Limited Automatic
QR codes Limited Included
A/B testing (links) Not core Included
Custom domains Available Available
Annual contract required Typically yes No
Free tier No Yes

For apps whose primary need is deep linking (not full attribution), the cost difference is significant. Tolinku's paid plans provide deep linking, analytics, smart banners, and route management for a fraction of Adjust's cost.

Making the Decision

If you are evaluating Adjust and are unsure whether you need full attribution:

  1. Start with Tolinku's free tier to validate your deep linking needs. See if the routing, analytics, and fallback features meet your requirements.
  2. If you need attribution, evaluate whether Adjust's attribution data justifies the cost for your current marketing spend.
  3. If you need both, use Adjust for attribution and Tolinku for deep linking. This gives you best-in-class tools for each function at a lower total cost than relying on Adjust for everything.
