The free plan allows five short links and three custom back-halves a month, though those links get unlimited clicks and never expire. Paid plans start at $10 per month with annual billing. A switch may appeal if you need a lower starting price, different platform support, or a particular link or QR workflow. Compare costs and access with the controls you use: Bitly offers broad integrations, analytics, dynamic routing, and QR customization, while alternatives may trade some of that range for distinct QR formats, editable destinations, or a different price point. Check each option against your needed custom domains, API access, and team capacity.
