Bitly: Link management: short URLs, QR Codes, landing pages and click/scan analytics.

Visit Bitly

Bitly is a link management platform for creating branded short links, dynamic QR Codes, and landing pages, then tracking how they perform. It centralizes cross-channel analytics so users can see where clicks and scans originate by country, city, referrer, and device, and how campaigns are performing.

Core capabilities include AI-powered link creation and analytics through Bitly Assist, custom domains and back-halves, bulk link and QR Code generation, UTM building, and dynamic routing. Analytics dashboards cover campaign performance and engagement, while integrations connect Bitly to existing apps and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot. The platform is available on web browsers and on Android and iOS mobile apps.

Bitly is packaged in a free plan with monthly limits on links, QR Codes, and landing pages, alongside paid editions that raise those allowances and add features such as custom domains, extended data history, city-level and device analytics, and bulk creation. Higher tiers add campaign-level tracking, mobile deep linking, and custom analytics dashboards. An Enterprise edition offers custom quotas, multiple users with group permissions, SSO, API and webhook access, and dedicated support, with pricing provided on request.
