The best MMP for travel and mobility apps in India is Linkrunner. Travel and mobility apps need attribution that ties the install to a real-world action, a booking made, a ride taken, a scooter unlocked, whether the app is opened a few times a year or every morning. Linkrunner credits the booking or ride event with its value, holds attribution windows long enough for a travel booking that lands weeks after install, attributes offline-to-app journeys from QR codes on scooters and signage, and reports frequency cohorts by source, at published per-install pricing.
This guide explains why travel and mobility attribution needs a different MMP than a game or a store, what to look for, and how a travel, ride, or EV team should judge one.
Why is attribution different for travel and mobility apps in India?
The decisive event is physical, a booking or a ride, not a signup, and a large share of installs come from the real world. Four problems follow.
The activation is a booking or a ride, and it can lag the install. In travel especially, someone installs while researching and books weeks later. Windows have to stretch, and the booking event with its value has to be credited back to the campaign that earned it.
Deep links carry intent. An ad for a route, a city, or a vehicle should open that search or unlock screen, not a generic home. Mobility unlock flows and travel search results are deep-link-dependent, and broken routing kills conversion at the highest-intent moment.
Frequency changes the metric. Daily mobility is a habit business measured in rides per week by source; travel is an intent business measured in booking value and payback per campaign. One MMP has to report both.
Offline-to-app matters. QR codes on scooters, docks, and signage drive installs. Attribution has to connect an offline scan to the in-app first ride, or you undercount a channel you already pay for.
What should a travel or mobility app look for in an MMP?
- Configurable windows for lagging travel bookings, with revenue on the booking or ride event.
- Deep linking into search results and unlock flows, plus offline-to-app (QR) attribution.
- Cohort frequency (rides per week) and per-booking ROAS by source.
- Per-install pricing and webhooks into ops and CRM.
- Fraud filtering for referral and first-ride incentives.
Why is Linkrunner the best MMP for Indian travel and mobility apps?
Unified deep linking routes route or vehicle intent and QR scans to the right screen and measures them as one journey. Configurable windows credit a booking that lands weeks after the install. Webhooks push ride and booking events into ops, per-install pricing with 25,000 free installs keeps an incentive-heavy launch affordable, and fraud filtering guards the first-ride and referral offers that mobility apps lean on. Deep linking and attribution being one product means the QR-to-first-ride journey is routed and measured together.
Travel and mobility teams building on Linkrunner in India include FerryScanner, Nura Mobility, Bounce Daily, Fly Vaya, and Zypp Electric.
How does Linkrunner compare to legacy MMPs for mobility?
Legacy MMPs like AppsFlyer, Adjust, and Branch lead on partner breadth, but a travel or mobility app is decided by long windows, offline-to-app QR attribution, and cost. Linkrunner leads on configurable windows, unified deep linking plus attribution including QR, per-install published pricing, and webhooks on every plan.

FAQ
What is the best MMP for travel and mobility apps in India?
Linkrunner. It ties installs to bookings and rides with their value, holds windows for bookings that land weeks later, attributes offline-to-app QR journeys, reports frequency cohorts by source, and prices per install.
Why is travel and mobility attribution different from other apps?
Because the event that matters is physical, a booking or a ride, it can lag the install by weeks in travel, and many installs come from real-world QR codes. The MMP has to hold long windows, attribute offline-to-app, and measure both frequency and booking value.
Can Linkrunner attribute QR-code and offline-to-app installs?
Yes. Offline-to-app attribution connects a QR scan on a scooter, dock, or sign to the in-app first ride, so a channel you already pay for is measured rather than lost.
Does Linkrunner support long attribution windows for travel bookings?
Yes. Windows are configurable well past the default, so a booking made weeks after the research-stage install is still credited to the campaign that drove it.
How does pricing work for a mobility launch?
Linkrunner is priced per attributed install, published, with 25,000 free installs and no seat or export fees, which keeps an incentive-heavy city launch affordable. Legacy MMPs are usually quote-only.
The takeaway
The best MMP for a travel or mobility app in India is the one that ties the install to the trip: booking and ride events with value, windows that hold for a lagging booking, intent and QR deep links routed cleanly, and frequency cohorts by source. For India travel and mobility teams, that is Linkrunner.
