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.
A bio link with a shop and a mailing list
Zaap is a link-in-bio page that also sells digital products and sends the email, so an audience arriving from a profile can be captured and sold to without a second subscription underneath. The free plan builds the page and collects addresses. Paying removes the Zaap branding and turns on the store, the blog and the sending.
Our note
The reason to pay for this over Linktree is the mailing list, because an address you own outlives a platform's algorithm and a bio link does not. If nothing is being sold and no list is being built, the free tiers elsewhere are the same product.
