Why creators switch from Bitly
No monthly caps
Bitly's free plan is ad-supported, caps you at 5 links per month, and keeps no analytics history, while its $10/month Core plan keeps only 30 days. Linklify gives you unlimited permanent short links with no monthly resets, plus a full year of analytics history.
One price: $5/mo, everything in
Bitly's cheapest paid plan is $10/month (Core, billed annually) and still caps you at 100 links a month, with Growth at $35/month. Linklify includes custom slugs, full analytics, and unlimited links at $5/month.
More than just URL shortening
Bitly is purely a URL shortener. Linklify also gives you a link in bio profile page, a creator store, a built-in blog, and a leads form — one platform instead of four.
Link scheduling & expiration
Set links to go live at a future date or auto-expire after a promotion ends. Bitly doesn't offer link scheduling. Linklify includes it on all plans.
