Bitly is the standard URL shortener, and its paid plans are excellent for marketing teams. If you need short, trackable links on your own domain — plus a link-in-bio page — UrlsTree gives you unlimited links, custom slugs, QR codes and a UTM builder free, and branded short links, expiring links and CSV import on a $5 Pro plan.

**Bitly pricing:** Free (5 links, 3 custom back-halves and 2 QR codes a month); Core $10, Growth about $29 and Premium about $199 a month, billed yearly.

## Where Bitly is better
- Campaign dashboards, saved UTM presets across a team, and very high-volume bulk creation on paid plans.
- Geo/device routing and mobile deep links (Growth and Premium).
- A large API, browser extensions and mobile apps; enterprise SSO and teams.

## What is different with UrlsTree
- Free limits: Bitly Free allows 5 links, 3 custom back-halves and 2 QR codes a month. UrlsTree’s free plan has no cap on links, custom slugs or QR codes.
- Editing: Bitly meters destination changes ("redirects") per month on paid plans; UrlsTree lets you change a destination any time, free.
- Analytics: UrlsTree shows clicks, and on Pro referrer, country and device per link. Bitly’s city and device data start at Premium (~$199/mo billed yearly).
- Branded short links: on UrlsTree your Pro custom domain serves short links too (links.yourshop.com/s/…), no extra domain setup; Bitly sells branded domains from Growth (~$29/mo).
- UTM builder, link expiration (with a Pro fallback URL) and CSV import/export are included; Bitly gates expiration and bulk upload behind Growth.
- Not on UrlsTree: geo/device routing, mobile deep links, campaign dashboards, browser extensions and mobile apps.

**Pick Bitly if:** You run campaigns at volume, need geo/device routing, deep links, or team features.

**Pick UrlsTree if:** You want unlimited short links with QR codes, UTM tracking and click stats without a subscription — and branded, expiring links on the same $5 plan as your link-in-bio page and bookings.

**Q: Is UrlsTree’s URL shortener really unlimited and free?**
Yes. Unlimited short links, custom slugs and QR codes on the free plan, with click counts. Referrer, country and device breakdowns per link are on Pro.

**Q: Can I use my own domain for short links?**
Yes. Connect a custom domain on Pro and your short links are shared as yourdomain/s/slug automatically — the urlstree.com/s/slug form keeps working too, and you can switch the default back at any time.

**Q: Can UrlsTree short links expire?**
Yes. Set a date and time (in your timezone) and the link stops redirecting after it; on Pro you can send late visitors to a fallback URL instead of the "expired" page.

**Q: Can I import my links from Bitly?**
Yes. Export from Bitly and upload the CSV on the Short links page (Pro): UrlsTree reads the URL, title, slug and expiry columns, previews every row with any errors, and creates the links only when you confirm — up to 500 per file.

**Q: Does UrlsTree have campaigns or geo routing like Bitly?**
No. Those are Bitly strengths for marketing teams; UrlsTree is aimed at shops, freelancers and creators who need simple, trackable links.
