2. **Rebrandly** — Several branded domains per account and retargeting pixels on links. Pick it if: You manage several branded domains, work as a team, or build on the API.

**Q: Is there a free Bitly alternative with unlimited links?**
Yes. UrlsTree’s free plan has no cap on short links, custom slugs or QR codes, and you can change a destination any time.

**Q: Can I use my own domain for short links for free?**
Not on UrlsTree: a custom domain is part of Pro ($5 a month), and it serves your short links and your page together.
