One link. Every device. The right destination.
A short link that thinks. 1Link® shortens any URL, gives it a free QR code and real-time analytics — and for apps and games, sends each visitor to the correct store for the device they are actually holding.
Create smart links and QR codes from your phone and watch the scans come in live. 1Link® is a subscription, billed through the App Store or Google Play. Plans and prices are set by each store and vary by country.
The problem with an ordinary short link.
You publish one link. Your audience is on iPhone, Android, desktop and Fire tablets. A normal shortener sends every one of them to the same page — so most of them land somewhere they cannot use, and you lose them at the click you paid for.
Shorteners shorten. 1Link decides.
Bitly and TinyURL are good at what they are built for: making a URL shorter and counting the clicks. 1Link is built for the step after that — working out where each visitor should actually land.

| Short links | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Click analytics | Real-time | Yes | Yes |
| QR codes | Free on every link | Plan dependent | Plan dependent |

Routing a visitor to the right store is not unique to us, and we will not pretend otherwise. Mobile attribution platforms do it at enterprise prices, and one or two link tools do it on their upper tiers. What is unusual is the combination: it runs from your phone rather than a browser dashboard, it covers five platforms rather than two, every link carries a QR code on every plan, agency pricing is set by how many links you keep live rather than how many seats you buy, and the price is visible in the store before you ever speak to anyone. Competitor plans and feature tiers change; check their current pricing pages before making a decision. The distinction that does not change is the category: one shortens a link, the other routes it.
Built for people who have to report on it.

- Dynamic QR codes — repoint after printing, no reprint
- Subscription — billed through the App Store or Google Play
Priced by how many links you keep live.
1Link® is a subscription. Advanced and Pro are purchased inside the App Store or Google Play and are sized by the number of active links on your account, so you pay for the scale you actually run rather than for seats or features you do not use.
28 to 528 active links
For a single brand, a marketer or a small team running campaigns across print, packaging and digital. Entry plan starts at 28 links from about USD $2.99.
1,028 to 8,128 active links
For agencies, publishers and app studios running many brands, campaigns or titles at once. On Android the ceiling is 6,188 links; iOS goes to 8,128.
Multiple clients, one account
Dedicated plans for agencies managing links and QR codes across many customers at once, with campaigns kept separate per client. Tell us how many clients and campaigns you handle and we will point you at the right one.
Advanced and Pro are purchased in the App Store or Google Play, so their prices are set by Apple and Google in your local currency and vary by country – the figures above are indicative rather than a quote. Tap through to your own store for the current price. Every plan includes QR codes, real-time analytics and universal links.
One account. Every client’s links.
Agencies use 1Link® to create and manage links and QR codes across every client they run — separated by campaign, reported in one place. It makes the work defensible at renewal, because you are reporting intent rather than impressions. Dedicated plans are available for agencies managing multiple customers.
Every client, one place
Separate links and campaigns per client account.
Shareable reporting
Real engagement numbers to put in a client report.
Subscription
A predictable line you can build into a retainer.
Added on request
We can wire 1Link® into any build we deliver together.
1Link® lives on two domains. Only two.
1Link® is a product of TAPQUAD® Inc., a Canadian corporation. Every link and QR code the platform generates uses 1Link.app or 1lk.io. Those are the only official 1Link domains, and the app is published under TAPQUAD Inc. on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
1Link.app
The platform itself — your account, your links, your reporting.
1lk.io
The short domain used on generated links and QR codes.
Similar names
Services such as 1link.io, onelink.to, onelink.me, onelink.com and 1link.to are separate businesses with no connection to TAPQUAD Inc. A link branded 1Link from any other domain did not come from us.
If you receive something branded 1Link from a domain other than 1Link.app or 1lk.io, do not enter account or payment details. Get in touch and we will confirm whether it came from TAPQUAD.
Nothing to install. Nothing to expose.
1Link® works at the link, not inside your product. There is no SDK to embed in your app and no script to drop into your website, so adopting it changes nothing about your codebase, your release cycle or your attack surface.
No code in your app or site
You create links and QR codes in the 1Link app. Your application and your website are never modified, and nothing of ours runs inside them.
Only your account can change a destination
Every link belongs to an authenticated 1Link account. Nobody outside it can repoint a link, attach a destination to it or ride on a code you have already printed.
Monitored platform
1Link is monitored for abuse, so a link you hand a customer or print on a machine plate keeps going where you sent it.
This is why agencies are comfortable putting 1Link in front of their own clients: there is no integration to justify to a client security team, and no shared surface where one customer can affect another.
A printed code is a promise you cannot take back.
A QR code is the only link a person cannot read before they follow it. Once it is on packaging, a nameplate or a trade show banner, it is out of your hands — unless the code points at something you still control.
Repoint, do not reprint
Every 1Link® QR code is dynamic. If a destination moves, breaks or turns out to be wrong, you change where the code goes in seconds. The printed run stays valid instead of becoming a recall.
One domain, operated by us
Codes resolve through 1lk.io, a domain TAPQUAD® Inc. owns and monitors. Not a disposable free shortener that may be blocklisted, sold, or switched off with your campaign still in print.
You can see the scans
Real-time scans by device, platform and location. Unusual activity on a campaign is something you notice, rather than something you find out about later.
Law enforcement agencies including the FBI have warned about malicious QR codes pasted over legitimate ones in public places. No platform can stop someone putting a sticker on your poster. A code you can repoint, on a domain you control, with scan data you can actually read, is the difference between catching it and never knowing.
Straight answers.
Do I have to install anything in my app or website?
No. 1Link® works at the link itself — there is no SDK to embed in your app and no script to add to your site. You create links and QR codes in the 1Link app and your product is never touched, so there is nothing new in your codebase and nothing added to your attack surface.
Is 1Link the same as 1link.io, onelink.to, onelink.me or AppsFlyer OneLink?
No. 1Link® is a product of TAPQUAD® Inc. and its only official domains are 1Link.app and 1lk.io. Services with similar names are separate businesses with no connection to TAPQUAD. Every link and QR code 1Link generates uses 1Link.app or 1lk.io, and the app is published under TAPQUAD Inc. on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
How much does 1Link cost?
Plans are sized by how many links you keep active. Advanced runs from 28 to 528 active links, starting at roughly USD $2.99 for the 28-link plan. Pro runs from 1,028 up to 8,128 active links on iOS, with an Android ceiling of 6,188. Subscriptions are purchased and billed inside the App Store or Google Play, so the exact price is set by Apple and Google in your local currency and varies by country — check your own store for the current figure.
Are QR codes safe to scan?
Scanning any QR code means following a link you cannot read first, which is why law enforcement agencies including the FBI have warned about codes pasted over legitimate ones. The protections that matter are on the publisher’s side: use dynamic codes so a wrong or compromised destination can be repointed without a reprint, publish them on a domain you own and monitor rather than a free shortener, and watch the scan data so unusual activity is visible. Every 1Link® code is dynamic, resolves through 1lk.io, and reports scans in real time.
What is 1Link?
1Link® is a smart link platform from TAPQUAD® Inc., a Canadian corporation, and it lives at 1Link.app. It turns any destination into a short, branded link with a free QR code and real-time analytics — and for apps and games, a single universal link that detects the visitor’s device and sends them to the right store listing automatically.
What is a universal link?
One link that works across every platform. Instead of publishing separate links for iOS, Android and desktop, you publish one. 1Link detects what the visitor is on and routes them to the correct store listing for that device.
How is this different from Bitly or TinyURL?
Those are link shorteners: they make a URL shorter and count the clicks. 1Link does that too, but it also decides where each visitor should land. A shortener sends everyone to the same destination; 1Link sends an iPhone user to the App Store, an Android user to Google Play, and a desktop visitor to your web page — from the same link.
Do I get QR codes?
Yes, with a free QR code on every link. Because the code points at the 1Link, you can change the destination after the code is printed without reprinting anything.
Where does 1Link add value?
Anywhere a link crosses into the physical world or across platforms: trade show handouts, machine nameplates, spec sheets, packaging, print ads, app and game marketing, influencer campaigns, and every channel pointing at a 3D showroom.
Which platforms does it support?
iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Amazon Fire. The 1Link app itself is available on the App Store and Google Play.
How do agencies use 1Link?
Agencies run 1Link® to create and manage links and QR codes on behalf of their clients — separated per client and per campaign, with engagement reporting they can share. There are dedicated plans for agencies managing multiple customers, so tell us how many clients you handle and we will point you at the right one.
Is it included with a showroom or e-Commerce build?
It can be, on request. We will wire 1Link® into the build so you can prove what the investment returned. If you already hold an active 1Link® subscription there is nothing to add — we instrument the build against the account you already have.
Get the app, or have it built in.
Download 1Link® and start measuring, or talk to us about instrumenting a showroom, a store or a whole campaign. Plans scale from a single brand to an agency running many clients.
Subscriptions are purchased in the App Store or Google Play, so plans and prices vary by country. The buttons below open your country’s store.
