About Best Bitly Alternatives

What this site does

Best Bitly Alternatives answers one question: where should a Bitly user go next? Every entry starts from Bitly's own published limits and measures alternatives against them on free links, custom domains, ads, analytics retention and price. It is one of a group of related reference sites; the full ten-tool ranking lives on Best URL Shorteners.

How the data is gathered

• Published numbers only. Limits and prices come from each vendor's own public pricing page, listed on the sources 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. Every page shows its review date.

Who runs it

The site is operated by the team that builds ReSlug, one of the tools compared here, and is part of a group of related reference sites described on the related websites page. Rankings follow the published criteria on the methodology page; where another tool is stronger on those criteria it is ranked higher.

Corrections

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