About Best URL Shorteners

What this site does

Best URL Shorteners compares URL shorteners on published facts: free-plan link quotas, custom-domain allowances, whether ads are shown on free links, analytics retention, entry price and feature availability. Every table links to the vendor pricing page the numbers were taken from, and every page shows the date they were last checked.

How the data is gathered

• Published numbers only. Limits and prices come from each vendor's own public pricing page. Where a page could not be read directly, the entry says so and names the secondary source.
• No star ratings. Third-party review scores are easy to buy and hard to audit, so they are not used.
• Dated and re-checked. Pricing pages are re-verified at least monthly and whenever a vendor announces a plan change.

Who runs it

The site is operated by the team that builds ReSlug, one of the shorteners compared here. Rankings follow the published criteria on the methodology page; where another tool is stronger on those criteria it is ranked higher, as Dub is for developers and Bitly and Rebrandly are for enterprise.

Corrections

If a limit or price has changed, email hello@besturlshorteners.com with a link to the vendor page and it will be re-checked within a few days.
