- Free limits: UrlsTree has no cap on short links or clicks; Short.io Free stops at 1,000 links.
- Expiring links are free on UrlsTree; on Short.io they start at Pro ($18).
- Styled QR codes, a UTM builder and CSV export are free on UrlsTree.
- A link-in-bio page and bookings come with the same account.
- Not on UrlsTree: several branded domains, an API, A/B tests and password-protected links.

**Pick Short.io if:** You manage several branded domains, need an API or A/B tests, or want password-protected links.

**Pick UrlsTree if:** You want unlimited short links with expiry and QR codes free, and a link page with bookings in the same place.

**Q: Can UrlsTree short links expire?**
Yes, free: set a date and time and the link stops redirecting. On Pro you can send late visitors to a fallback URL.
