What it is
ShortlyLink is a free URL shortener and link-management platform designed for affiliate marketers, media buyers, agencies, and creators. It creates branded short links with generated or custom codes, then can route visitors by country, rotate destinations, run A/B tests, or send mobile users to app deep links with a web fallback. Real-time dashboards show clicks and conversions by geography, device, referrer, and UTM parameters. Conversion tracking uses server-to-server postbacks or a pixel, with signed click IDs helping reject forged or duplicate conversions. Click scoring sorts traffic into normal, log, challenge, or block tiers. Users can make up to 25 link-in-bio pages, QR codes, and pre-sell pages. Integrations include a REST API, HMAC-signed webhooks, and Slack alerts. Reports export as CSV or JSON, up to 100,000 rows. The Free beta plan is free, billed During beta, with limited beta spots.
