AI apps scale fast enough for a small leak to cost a lot

The playbook is a demo on the web, a paywall, then Download — and heavy paid social on top. Both halves deliver taps from inside an app's own browser, where the store handoff can fail.

Why it hits this category

Growth curves hide leaks

When volume doubles weekly, a constant percentage of losses looks like noise. It is not — it scales with you.

The web demo is the whole funnel

People try the model before installing. That try happens in the in-app browser, and everything that follows depends on the handoff at the end.

Fast launches leave no time for autopsies

You need to know within hours whether a channel converts. A delivery rate separates a weak creative from a broken route.

You pay for the demo either way

Every visitor who tries the model costs you inference. When that visitor cannot reach the store afterwards, you have bought the cost without the conversion.

What the statistics show

Compare requests by link, detected source and device. Browser events can help investigate a stalled transition, but they do not confirm that the destination opened. Requests can include repeat visits and bots.

View the data and collection method. Use store or attribution reports for installs and revenue.

How the link works

GoToApp chooses the destination for the device and tries supported ways to open it. If automatic navigation is blocked, it can show a button to continue. Test the link inside the apps where you share it.

Nothing to install

No SDK and no changes in the app. You swap one address for another.

Your tracker stays

An attribution link can be the destination. We hand the tap over and leave your parameters alone.

Compare link activity

The dashboard shows requests and browser events by link. These signals do not confirm store openings or installs.

Questions

Can the link open our web demo instead of the store?

Yes, after domain verification. The demo then opens in the real browser, where payments and analytics behave normally.

Does it support per-user links from Smart Script?

Yes. Keep the base attribution link in the dashboard and pass the personal part in the address — we put your parameters back on the destination.

How quickly can we start?

Sign up, add the app, paste your store or attribution URL. The link works immediately; the short branded address is the paid plan.

Can we route to the demo instead of the store?

Yes, after domain verification — and for a demo that is usually the right call, because a real browser keeps your payments and analytics intact.

Does it support per-user links?

Yes. The base link lives in the dashboard, the personal part travels in the address, and we put your parameters back on the destination.
