December 25, 2020

For open-source URL shortening software I really couldn't recommend any other than YOURLS.

Pros

I have used many URL shorteners in the past, Goo.gl, Bit.ly, Rebrand.ly and YOURLS wins hands down every time. It has tons of functionality build in that you'd expect from a URL shortener like custom slugs and metrics. Plus, you can add more functionality with community-driven plugins

Cons

A lot of the plugins functionality should be baked in to the software by default such as QR code generation and the admin UI looks a bit outdated, could be given a refresh at some point. Also the installation requires a database to store the URLs, which is fine but it stores credentials inside the config file when it could be making use of the database for this like other database-driven applications such as WordPress. Finally, the installation requires manual editing of a config file, it would be nice if there was a setup wizard instead like WordPress and other similar applications offer.

How Capterra ensures transparency

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users.
