Why People Look Elsewhere

What sends people searching for a Bitly alternative

Bitly built the category. But four things keep coming up once teams start actually using it day to day.

01

The free plan barely works

Bitly's free tier caps you at 5 links and 2 QR codes a month, and shows an interstitial ad before visitors reach your destination.

02

Branded domains cost extra

Custom domains aren't included on Bitly's Free or Core plans. You need the $29+/mo Growth plan just to stop sharing a bit.ly link.

03

The next tier is a cliff

Growth to Premium is a jump from $29 to $199 a month — nothing in between for a team that's outgrown 500 links.

04

It only shortens links

QR codes and basic pages are bundled in, but barcodes, file hosting and SMS marketing mean three more subscriptions and three more logins.

Beyond Link Shortening

The five tools your Bitly plan doesn't cover

Bitly does one job well. QuitURL folds in everything most teams end up buying separately around it.

Dynamic QR Codes

Update where a QR code points without reprinting it. Track scans by location, device and time.

Bitly caps this at 5–10/mo

Barcode Generator

Create and manage product, inventory and retail barcodes from the same dashboard as your links.

Not on Bitly, any plan

Link-in-Bio Pages

One page for every link in your social bio, built and tracked alongside the rest of your links.

Bitly caps this at 2–20/mo

Secure File Hosting

Host and share PDFs, decks and media behind a short, trackable link — no separate file host.

Not on Bitly, any plan

SMS Marketing

Send and track SMS campaigns from the same account — no separate platform or contract.

Not on Bitly, any plan

FAQ

Questions people ask before switching from Bitly

Yes. Import your Bitly short links and their click history in bulk, and your redirects keep working the moment they land in QuitURL — no gap where old links break.

500 links a month costs $29–35/mo on Bitly's Growth plan. The same 500 links — plus a custom domain, a million tracked clicks, QR codes, barcodes, bio pages, file hosting and SMS — is $9.25–11.11/mo on QuitURL's Growth plan.

No. Point a CNAME record at QuitURL and we handle the certificate and routing — most people finish in under ten minutes with our step-by-step guide.

They're part of the same plan and dashboard as your links — no separate contract, and usage is billed transparently within your plan's limits.

You can export every link, click and contact before you go. Once an account is deleted, its data is removed from our servers for good.

Invite teammates with their own logins and set exactly what each person can see or edit, from a single workspace shared across links, QR codes, bio pages and SMS.

You can check out yourself on any plan — Starter, Growth, Pro or Business — no sales call required. Talk to Sales is there if you want help picking a plan, but it's optional.
