Initially I thought this was a Chrome extension that users of these sites could install which would automatically redirect them from marketing.com -> app.com (maybe only when they have a login cookie?)

I think if you made such an extension, and maintained a redirect list yourself for popular SaaS sites, that could be a more viable business. It wouldn't be trivial to reproduce because it's dynamic; you're always adding to the redirect list and keeping it up to date. That's a real, small amount of boring work that can't easily be automated away and people might be willing to pay to outsource.

Good luck either way!

This is very similar in concept to this chrome extension: Replace Youtube's Home with Subscriptions. It's open source and its purpose is redirecting from youtube.com -> youtube.com/feed/subscriptions. It may be a good place to start for anyone working on an automatic marketing.com -> app.com
