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.
Only on this side
Short links with an API on every plan
T.LY shortens links behind your own domain and reports on the clicks, with the API available on the cheapest paid tier rather than held back for enterprise. Plans are metered by links created a month, so the traffic those links carry never changes the bill. A OneLink page collects several destinations behind one address, which is the link in bio case handled without a second product.
Our note
Pick this over Bitly when you want the API without an enterprise conversation, and over Short.io when you would rather pay per link created than per click. The five-day trial is short, so plan what you want to test before starting it.
