TinyURL Shortens Links. Linkly Makes Them Work Harder.
Click analytics, retargeting pixels, geo-targeting, A/B testing, and link cloaking — all the marketing features missing from TinyURL. Linkly turns every short link into a conversion tool.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
The Features TinyURL Doesn't Have
TinyURL is a basic link shortener. Linkly is a link management platform built for marketers who need analytics, targeting, and control over their traffic.
Click Analytics (Free)
TinyURL has no analytics on the free plan. Linkly includes full click analytics — referrers, locations, devices — on every plan, including free.
Retargeting Pixels
Add Facebook, Google, and TikTok pixels to any shortened link. Build retargeting audiences from every click. TinyURL doesn't support this at all.
Geo-Targeting Redirects
Route visitors to different pages based on their country. Run localised campaigns from a single link. TinyURL just shortens — it can't redirect by location.
Device Targeting
Send mobile users to your app store link and desktop users to your website — automatically. Not available on TinyURL.
A/B Split Testing
Rotate traffic across multiple destinations to find what converts best. TinyURL has no built-in testing or link rotation features.
Link Cloaking
Hide destination URLs behind your branded domain. Essential for affiliate marketers. TinyURL always reveals the final destination after redirect.

Trusted by 100,000+ Marketers
Teams and solo marketers switch from TinyURL to Linkly for the features that actually drive results.
“We were using TinyURL because it was free, but we had zero visibility into who was clicking our links. Linkly gave us full analytics from day one — even on the free plan.”
Digital Marketing Manager
Agency
“The retargeting pixel feature alone paid for Linkly ten times over. We add our Facebook pixel to every link and build audiences we can actually retarget. TinyURL could never do that.”
Paid Media Specialist
E-commerce Brand
“We run campaigns across 12 countries. Linkly’s geo-targeting lets us use one link that sends each visitor to their local landing page. With TinyURL we needed a separate link for every country.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I migrate from TinyURL to Linkly?
Yes. You can recreate your short links in Linkly with your own custom domain. If you use a custom domain with TinyURL, simply point it to Linkly instead and your existing short URLs will continue to work.
Does Linkly have a free plan?
Yes. Linkly offers a free plan with 500 tracked clicks per month and custom domain support.
Is TinyURL really free?
Basic link shortening on TinyURL is free, but you get no analytics, no custom domains, and no marketing features. To unlock analytics and branded links, you need TinyURL Pro at $9.99/mo — and even then, you still don’t get cloaking, geo-targeting, retargeting, or A/B testing.
What is link cloaking and why does it matter?
Link cloaking displays your branded domain in the browser address bar instead of the final destination URL. This is essential for affiliate marketers who want to hide commission links, and for anyone who wants their brand to stay visible after the click.
How does Linkly pricing work?
Linkly pricing is based on monthly tracked clicks, not the number of links you create. Plans start free at 500 clicks/mo and scale up from there.
