Tiny.cc
Tiny.cc is a URL toolkit for shortening links, managing redirects, tracking clicks, and monitoring brands. Registered users can edit or delete links and organize them with filtering, tags, search, and sharing. Click statistics include unique and returning clicks, visitor country, browser, and chart data. Smart links can send visitors to different destinations based on language, device, or country, and short links can have QR codes for printed campaigns. Mobile app links support universal links, deep links, and digital asset links for iOS and Android apps. The service includes a REST API and webhooks API, plus a feature for merging third-party analytics. Tiny.cc lists Android, API, extension, iOS, and web platforms. Its free account includes 500 URLs using the tiny.cc domain, private click statistics, QR codes, and basic tagging. Starter costs $5 a month; Executive costs $25 a month; Pro costs $44 a month. A 7-day trial is listed. When a link exceeds its daily redirect limit, additional visitors must use an interstitial page and click again to continue.
