QuitURL replaces Bitly's short links — plus the QR code app, the barcode tool, the link-in-bio page, the file host and the SMS platform you're stitching in around it. One dashboard, one bill, real savings from month one.
Bitly built the category. But four things keep coming up once teams start actually using it day to day.
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.
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.
Growth to Premium is a jump from $29 to $199 a month — nothing in between for a team that's outgrown 500 links.
QR codes and basic pages are bundled in, but barcodes, file hosting and SMS marketing mean three more subscriptions and three more logins.
Every row below is a feature on QuitURL's Starter plan — Bitly's column reflects what's actually included at each of its own tiers.
