Honest comparison

Snipzr vs TinyURL: analytics on every link, even the free ones

TinyURL earned two decades of trust by doing one thing simply, and its free plan is genuinely generous on the basics: 30 links a month, a branded domain, links that never expire. What it does not give you for free is any idea of what happened to a link. Analytics starts at $9 a month, and above 125 links a month you pay per extra ten. Snipzr starts from the other end: every link, including the free ones, comes with per-day analytics and bots filtered out, and no plan meters your edits.

Where TinyURL draws the line

No analytics on the free plan
The free plan tracks no clicks and has no analytics dashboard. To learn anything about a link you need the Pro plan at $9 a month.
Links are metered, with overage fees
Pro includes 125 new links a month and charges $1.50 for every 10 links beyond that. Bulk 50K starts at $69 a month and also meters tracked clicks.
No campaign or team layer
There is no UTM builder, no campaign report and no viewer role. Sharing results with a client means exporting or screen-sharing.
The Snipzr position
Every plan, including Free, has per-day analytics with bots shown separately, cookie-less. Pro is $9 a month for 500 new links with no overage fees, edits are never metered on any plan, and Team adds campaign reports with unlimited free viewers.

When TinyURL is still the better pick

If you only need to shorten links and never look at the numbers, TinyURL's free plan is hard to beat: the same 30 links a month as ours, a free branded domain, links that never expire, and no account needed for a quick anonymous link. Snipzr requires an account precisely because we do not allow anonymous links; it is how we keep the domain clean, which is what keeps YOUR links deliverable in mail clients and messengers. If you want to know what your links did, that is where Snipzr starts.

Questions

Common questions

Can I move my existing TinyURL links over?

Old short links cannot be redirected by a different service, but you can recreate the targets in Snipzr in minutes (or via the API in bulk) and update the places you control. From then on every one of them has analytics.

Is the free plan actually free?

Yes. 30 new links a month, per-day analytics, QR codes and a custom domain, no card required. Links created on Free stay live forever even if you never log in again.

What if Snipzr shuts down or raises prices?

Founding prices are locked to your subscription forever. And we publish how we count and what we promise, in writing, so you can hold us to it. We are small; being trustworthy is our only marketing.

Put your links somewhere permanent.
