Bitly vs TinyURL vs Rebrandly vs Short.io vs Dub
Hosted link shorteners side by side: free plan limits, your own domain, click tracking, API and first paid plan
Mis à jour
Pourquoi comparer ceux-ci
Five hosted shorteners people pick between. Hosted services have no star count, so this is a feature table, not a ranking: how many links the free plan makes, whether clicks are counted, whether you can use your own domain, and where paying starts. Free plans differ most: Short.io and Dub let you use your own domain for free, Bitly and TinyURL don't. Want to run one yourself? See the self-hosted list.
