Both cover link in bio. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.
Branded short links, bio pages and QR codes together
Short links with an API on every plan
Replug | T.LY | |

| Starting price (they differ) | From $9 | From $10 |
| Pricing model (they differ) | Free plan, paid tiers | Paid subscription |

| Free trial (they differ) | 14 days | 5 days |

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
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.
Our note
Watch the thousand-click monthly limit rather than the link count on the free plan, since one post that travels will exhaust it while 99 of your 100 links sit unused. Take the annual price only once a month of real traffic has shown which counter you actually run out of.
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.

Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

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.
