Replug vs TinyURL Comparison 2026
Replug's free plan already includes three branded domains, a hundred links, two bio pages and ten QR codes, with its entry tier at $9 a month billed annually once that is outgrown. TinyURL shortens for free too but holds branded domains back for its Pro tier, also $9 a month, though that price applies whether billed monthly or yearly, so it beats Replug's $19 monthly rate outright. Pick Replug for the bundle and the free branded domain. Pick TinyURL for a link built to survive years in print.

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.
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.
TinyURL
The short link everyone recognises, with analytics
TinyURL has shortened links for free since before link-in-bio pages existed, and the paid tiers add branded domains, editable destinations and click analytics on top of that. Links are metered per month with a stated overage rate rather than being cut off. Three branded domains come on the entry plan. Anybody who wants a landing page with buttons on it is looking at the wrong product, because this shortens links and stops there.
Why people weigh these two
- TinyURL instead of Replug
- TinyURL trades the bundled bio page and QR codes for a shortener name people already recognise when they see it in a link.
- Replug instead of TinyURL
- Replug bundles a bio page and QR codes in with the branded short link, at the same $9 starting point, for anybody who wants both jobs in one place.
Which one should you pick
Choose Replug if a bio page and QR codes need to live in the same account as branded short links, all for nothing on the free plan. Three custom domains and a hundred links cost $0 a month, and the paid tier only becomes worthwhile once real volume shows which counter, likely the thousand monthly clicks, actually runs out first.
Choose TinyURL if the link has to outlive its campaign, printed on packaging where repointing it later matters more than a bio page. Free shortening needs no account, and Pro at $9 a month, the same price either billed monthly or yearly, adds three branded domains and unlimited tracked clicks for 125 links a month. Anybody who wants QR codes or a page of several links bundled in should buy Replug instead, since TinyURL only shortens one link at a time.
Common questions
- Do Replug and TinyURL charge the same price?
- Only if Replug is billed annually. Its entry tier is $9 a month billed annually, matching TinyURL's Pro tier at $9 a month, which costs the same whether billed monthly or yearly. Paid monthly, Replug jumps to $19.
- Which gives branded domains for free, Replug or TinyURL?
- Replug does: three custom domains come on its free plan. TinyURL only includes branded domains, three of them, once you pay for Pro at $9 a month; its free tier is shortening only.
- Does TinyURL offer a bio page or QR codes like Replug does?
- No. TinyURL shortens one link at a time and states plainly that it stops there. Replug bundles branded links, two bio pages and ten QR codes into the same free account.
- Which one is better for a link printed on physical packaging?
- TinyURL, since editable destinations are a listed feature: a link already printed can be repointed to somewhere new later. Repointing is not among Replug's listed features, so packaging or print work is TinyURL's stronger case.
