Rebrandly vs Replug Comparison 2026
Rebrandly shortens links onto a domain you own, with click analytics, QR codes and link galleries built around it, and its free plan holds ten links a month. Replug does the same job plus a bio page, and gives away a hundred links, two bio pages, ten QR codes and three branded custom domains every month for nothing, unusual for a free tier that includes branded domains at all. Paid, Rebrandly's entry tier runs $11 a month against Replug's $19 a month, or $9 a month if Replug is billed annually. The free tier is the real fork here, not the paid one.

Rebrandly
Branded short links on your own domain
Rebrandly shortens a link onto a domain you own, so what gets shared carries your name rather than a shortener's. Around that sit click analytics, QR codes, link galleries and the ability to change where an old link points. The free plan is ten links a month, which is a taste rather than a tool.
Our note
Rebrandly is the pick when the branded domain matters more than the analytics. Short.io gives more away at the bottom of its range, so compare the two on how many links you really create each month.

Replug
Branded short links, bio pages and QR codes together
Replug puts branded links, a bio page and smart QR codes behind one account, with credits rather than separate subscriptions dividing them up. The free plan is generous enough to run a small operation without paying at all: a hundred links, two bio pages, ten QR codes. Paid plans raise every counter and add workspaces for agencies handling several brands. Deep link analytics are what the higher tiers are actually for.
Why people weigh these two
- Replug instead of Rebrandly
- Replug bundles bio pages in with the branded links and QR codes, covering ground Rebrandly leaves to a separate link-in-bio tool.
- Rebrandly instead of Replug
- Rebrandly centers on putting links on a domain you own, a narrower focus than Replug's combined links, bio pages and QR codes sharing one credit pool.
Which one should you pick
Choose Rebrandly if you have outgrown a free plan already and want conversion tracking and a higher link ceiling: Professional is $32 a month for 1,500 links, and Growth reaches 3,500 links and ten domains at $99. Its own free tier, ten links a month, is a taste rather than something to run a small operation on.
Choose Replug if you want to run for free as long as possible: a hundred links, two bio pages, ten QR codes and three branded domains cost nothing, and the entry tier is $9 a month billed annually if you outgrow it. Watch the thousand-click monthly cap rather than the link count, since one post that travels will exhaust it while most of the hundred links sit unused. Anybody who wants deeper audience data and a stated uptime number should buy Rebrandly instead.
Common questions
- Which free plan gives away more, Rebrandly or Replug?
- Replug, by a wide margin. Its free tier includes a hundred short links, two bio pages, ten QR codes and three branded custom domains a month. Rebrandly's free plan covers ten links and ten QR codes a month on a domain it provides, not one you own.
- Which is cheaper once you are paying, Rebrandly or Replug?
- Rebrandly, if the monthly-billed rate is compared on both: its entry tier is $11 a month against Replug's $19 a month paid monthly. Replug only undercuts that when billed annually, where its entry tier drops to $9 a month.
- Does Rebrandly include a bio-link page like Replug does?
- Yes, called a link gallery, a page of links rather than one link at a time, without a second subscription. Replug's version is a dedicated bio page product bundled the same way, with two included free.
- What is the real limit to watch on Replug's free plan?
- Clicks, not links. The free plan allows a thousand clicks a month, and a single post that does well can use that up while ninety-nine of the hundred available links sit untouched, so traffic is the number to track, not the link count.
