The service matches the description. Pros I like the name Linkly because it clearly explains what the service does and makes the web address shorter. I really like the feature that sends an email alert every time someone clicks. Cons The price of the subscription with unlimited clicks seems overpriced. Limited number of languages ​​on the site.

Director of Demand Gen Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does what it says it will -- trustworthy" June 8, 2026 5.0 overall experience has been strong, it does what it says it's going to do which is really what you want. Ideally it could be paired into another solution so I have one less platform to open but I'm happy with what we see out of it Pros Linkly's tracking has been instrumental in bridging the gap of cookie tracking. It captures the analytics first so we can always cross check traffic to understand where people are coming from Cons The log in process is annoying. It's log in via email link I really wish I could just have a password but other than that it's great. But it is just a link shortener Switched from [Bitly](https://www.capterra.com/p/172575/Bitly/) Chosen by someone else on the team to go with this due to the ability to use 1 QR code and auto direct to google play store or app store based on OS Review Source TP Timofey P. Product Designer Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Still Unsure if It Actually Meets My Needs" September 10, 2026 3.0 I’m still unsure if the software meets my needs, and I wish I hadn't felt rushed into an annual subscription before having time to fully test it. Pros Easy to setup links and keep track of. I like the email link notifications. I wish there was tags to I could track my links better. Cons More than half of the clicks that count as “human” still seem to be bots. I have to dive deep into the data to see who maybe real. Switched from [Dubb](https://www.capterra.com/p/203824/Dubb/) I switched from Dub.co because it had too many unnecessary features for my needs. I host my portfolio on Figma Sites, which unfortunately lacks a good way to track viewers. While you can use Google Analytics, it’s difficult to set up and doesn't integrate well with Figma. Designers need a better way to track how many hiring managers or peers are viewing their work. Since there is no great software out there for getting a deep dive into individual portfolio visitors, I'm trying to see if a link tracker can accomplish this. For example, I want to know exactly how many people from LinkedIn are actually visiting my site. Even when traffic is low, seeing exactly who is viewing your portfolio is incredibly important.

I would highly recommend it over all the other url shortening tools out there. Pros I love the fact that you can easily track links and create Whats app links within the software that can be tracked. Cons Nothing at the moment. I cannot find anything i do not like with it at all. So quite happy with what has been created. Switched from [Bitly](https://www.capterra.com/p/172575/Bitly/) Better link shortening capabilities and also better price Review Source JA JOSEPH A. ceo Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Exactly the no-nonsense tracker my business needed" August 19, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been fantastic. Running a busy studio and juggling multiple promotions means I need my software to be efficient. Linkly seamlessly integrated into my daily workflow, making it incredibly easy to track campaign performance across different channels—from social media to email sequences. It saves me time and provides the exact analytics I need to make informed marketing decisions without the headache. It’s a tool that actually works right out of the box. Pros Managing multiple campaigns across social media, SMS, and email as a business owner can be overwhelming, but finding a link management tool with a smooth interface makes all the difference. Linkly truly delivers on its promises. It offers incredibly accurate tracking, an intuitive dashboard, and the ability to customize and brand links for a professional, high-end look. By removing the guesswork from my click data, it allows me to concentrate on my actual strategy. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking reliable, straightforward link tracking without any unnecessary fluff Cons Honestly, I haven't run into any significant drawbacks yet. It does exactly what it is designed to do without overcomplicating the process. Alternatives considered [Bitly](https://www.capterra.com/p/172575/Bitly/) Reason for choosing Linkly price, ease of use and tracking analytics Review Source JA Joseph A. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Flawless tracking without the headache." August 20, 2026 5.0 t skips the nonsense and delivers exactly what it promises—clean, actionable data. It handles everything from branded short links to custom QR codes flawlessly, making it a reliable powerhouse for tracking marketing links. You don't need a Ph.D. in analytics to figure it out; it just works, keeps the data organized, and lets you get back to running your business. Pros The tracking abilities are undeniably the best feature. It gives you real-time breakdowns of every click by location, device, and referrer without making you dig through a bloated interface. The automatic bot filtering is a massive plus because it keeps your data clean from click-fraud and scrapers. It is a straightforward, heavy-hitting tool for managing campaigns, setting up geo-redirects, and appending UTM tags without breaking a sweat. Cons The free tier gives you a solid 500 clicks per month, but if a campaign suddenly takes off, you will hit that cap quickly and need to upgrade to keep the tracking active.

SDE Capital Markets Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "How Linkly Improved Our Hackathon Campaign Click-Through by 35%" September 7, 2026 4.0 I started using Linkly for a hackathon we ran at IIT Delhi. We had to send mailto links to around 200 students after the event and we really wanted to know who was actually engaging with those links. Honestly I wasn’t expecting much from a link shortener. I thought it would just shorten the links and that’s it.. It turned out to be way more useful than I ever imagined. Pros The setup was fast and simple. There was no learning curve all. I built a script to create links in bulk using their API and it just worked. No need to spend hours reading through documentation. The dashboard is clean and easy to navigate. Nothing. You can see everything you need without having to search around for ages. I could see clicks coming in as students opened their emails. That helped us adjust our outreach strategy while the campaign was still running. We ended up seeing a 35% increase in click-through rates compared to our method of using plain links. For us that was a win. Because we were trying to measure actual student interest not just guess. Cons The only small issue was that it took me a while to find where the workspace ID appears when setting up the API. That was a minor thing. Nothing big. Everything else has been smooth.

And how efficient it is at actually doing the test. There are a lot of similar tools out there, but this one works for sure. Cons Nothing at all! I like everything about the product, and the customer support is suburb. I literally got emails from the founder himself. Review Source Kabir S. Founder Arts and Crafts Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Linkly gets the job done 💯" September 22, 2026 5.0 I Love it! My job gets done, I am happy about that. When my business grows or shows more clicks I will definitely try the paid plans. Pros I love that it's free to start, I get 500 clicks for a month and for my small business when I needed to test my mvp, it's life saving. And get's the job done unlike some other websites I tried. Bit by bit, this is growing on me 👀 Cons Well, I will have to think about that, so far so good. Seriously i check again on the website it is really good. I will have to sit really deep to know what I like less about linkly Review Source HE Hunter E. construction manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple, reliable link management and tracking with custom domain options" September 14, 2026 5.0 Linkly offers a straight-to-the-point link management solution for marketers and creators looking to build custom short links, add retargeting pixels, or track conversion stats without bloated software. Its dashboard is intuitive and reliable, making day-to-day link creation seamless. Pros Linkly is simple to set up and provides clean, customizable short links, vanity domains, and reliable URL redirection. The analytics and conversion tracking dashboard are clear, lightweight, and easy to navigate for link management. Cons The free plan tier has strict monthly link-click limits, and scaling up to higher-volume usage tiers can get relatively pricey compared to some standard link-shortening alternatives. Advanced features like custom script insertion require a bit of technical comfort. Review Source Everson E. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "ótimo custo-benefício" September 7, 2026 5.0 A integração com o ChatGPT via Plugin funciona perfeitamente e agiliza muito o fluxo de trabalho no dia a dia. Para completar, o plano gratuito oferece uma quantidade excelente de recursos e cliques, sendo muito mais vantajoso e completo do que outras opções do mercado. Pros O grande diferencial do Linkly é a integração nativa com o ChatGPT via Plugin, que automatiza o encurtamento e rastreamento de URLs diretamente no fluxo de conversa com extrema facilidade. Além disso, o plano gratuito é surpreendentemente generoso, oferecendo recursos essenciais de métricas, redirecionamento e personalização de domínio que a maioria dos concorrentes só libera em planos pagos. Uma ferramenta prática, estável e com excelente custo-benefício. Cons No momento não tenho grandes queixas sobre a ferramenta, mas o design da interface poderia receber melhorias para ficar mais moderno e fluido. Fora esse detalhe puramente visual, atende perfeitamente a todas as demandas. Review Source HS Hamza S. Founder Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great excellent tool for link tracking" May 21, 2026 5.0 Linkly has become a daily driver for managing the digital footprint of my various projects and clubs. It takes the mess out of URL tracking and gives me clean data that actually helps me see what people are clicking on. It's a solid, reliable tool that just works exactly how you want it to. Pros The analytics dashboard is awesome because it gives me real time data on who is clicking my links. I also love how easy it is to customize the backend of the URLs to make them look clean and recognizable. Cons While the free version is great, I wish a couple more of those deep tracking features were accessible for smaller projects. Review Source RY Rakefet Y.

The fact that there's no limitation on users is also very helpful. Pros Good and reliable platform, excellent customer support. Linkly helps us with link tracking and management.

Pros Very easy to use and intuitive interface and features. I use it to track traffic/clicks on different links on my website. It gives me the ability to exclude all IPs of my team so I can count customer clicks only. Also their customer service connected my product to godaddy and now I have really nice subdomain vanity urls for all my products which I am tracking. Cons I am looking forward to more integrations by Linkly. I would like to see an integration between Linkly and Capsule CRM.

Having analyzed extensive aggregate user feedback, technical specifications, and performance data from teams worldwide, the collective market experience with Linkly paints a clear picture: it is an indispensable, high-utility powerhouse. It transforms the mundane task of URL shortening into a sophisticated command center for traffic optimization. For teams managing multi-channel campaigns, Linkly consistently delivers an exceptional user experience rooted in functional efficiency, advanced routing capabilities, and data accuracy. Below is an in-depth breakdown of the positive overarching experience of using Linkly to scale marketing operations. Pros "In digital marketing, every click is a valuable opportunity. That is why Linkly has become such a game-changer for modern growth teams. What users love most about this platform is its perfect balance of simplicity and power. You do not need to be a technical expert to build high-converting campaigns. Within minutes, anyone can launch custom, branded short links that protect your brand identity and build instant audience trust. Beyond shortening links, it provides elite traffic control. You can seamlessly route visitors by country, track precise visual analytics, and drop retargeting pixels effortlessly. It turns basic links into intelligent marketing assets. Linkly simplifies data, saves time, and maximizes ROI. It is the ultimate tool to optimize your traffic." Cons While Linkly is a powerful tool, maximizing its potential requires understanding its limitations. For many teams, the primary hurdle is the price. The free tier is highly restrictive, and scaling up to access essential features or higher click volumes quickly becomes expensive compared to alternative platforms. Additionally, users report a steep learning curve when configuring advanced technical features, such as setting up custom domain DNS records or managing complex API integrations. The user interface, while functional, feels dated to some and lacks the modern, sleek aesthetic of newer competitors. Finally, a lack of deep, native integrations with niche marketing software means teams often rely heavily on Zapier, adding extra steps to their workflow. To succeed, you must weigh these costs and complexities. Review Source Similar Products Featured
