Replacing Bitly with Rebrandly
Bitly offers a great free option but comes with many limitations. When looking for a new URL shortener, consider using Rebrandly as the best Bitly alternative.
-
When using Bitly links, you can't connect more than one custom domain
Even on Rebrandly's free plan, you're able to connect up to 1 custom domain. This means rather than sharing short links from the domain bit.ly/xyz or rebrand.ly/abc you share links with YOUR brand name. With Bitly, it's only available for enterprises, and the extra cost isn't listed. Learn more about the benefits of adding your brand to your links with branded links here.
-
Bitly links are not private
For every Bitly link shared, anyone can get the link statistics by simply adding a + to the end of the URL. This allows your competitors to monitor your performance. When you use a Rebrandly link you own it and no one else can monitor it.
-
Bitly link data is deleted after 30 days
When link data is deleted, you're not able to keep track of analytics that could lead to better business decisions. With Rebrandly links, link data is stored forever.
-
Bitly links cannot be customized
When you create a Bitly link, you automatically generate a number and letter combination that can only be slightly customized and limitied. In Rebrandly, you're able to create and customize a slash tag.
-
You can not easily add UTM parameters to Bitly links
Since Bitly does not offer a UTM builder in app, to add UTM parameters to your links you must first use an external service to add UTMs. Rebrandly links come with a UTM builder so it's easy to add and track your links.
-
Very few features included in paid plans
Although Bitly provides various plans, the features available within them are extremely limited and leave a lot to be desired. The most affordable option includes next to no customization or management features, unlike Rebrandly's.
And the list goes on...
Because of these limitations, consider using Rebrandly instead. We want you to have full control over your links.
