About Linkly’s Free Plan

Linkly has a free plan that is accessible to everyone.

All features of the paid product are available on the free plan, including:

• Multiple users
• 500 links/QR codes
• Links and QR codes last indefinitely (or until you disable them)
• Up to 5 custom domains (up to 200 on paid plans)
• Long-term data retention (currently 5 years)

• You can redirect up to 500 clicks/scans per month in total, across the whole workspace. (Up to unlimited on paid plans).
• You can create 500 links/QR codes in your workspace (Unlimited on paid plans).
• You can add up to 5 custom domains. (Up to 200 on paid plans).

You can monitor your usage inside your Linkly workspace.

When you reach 80%, we’ll send you an email saying you’re close to using your allowance.

At 100%, we'll pause your links/QR codes from redirecting & tracking, until your usage resets at the next 30 day period.

You can re-instate your links/QR codes immediately by upgrading to a paid plan.

If you are on a paid plan already, you will be automatically upgraded to the new plan level. We never pause the links/QR codes of paying customers.

Any data or clicks/scans above the 500 clicks/scans per month on the free plan are not tracked and users are redirected to an 'over limit' page.

Your free plan allowance will automatically reset every 30 days.

Here are some tips to get the most out of your 500 clicks per month:

• Block robot traffic — Bots and automated scanners can eat into your click allowance. Linkly can identify and block non-human traffic so it doesn't count against your limit. Learn more in our bot traffic guide.
• Skip social crawler tracking — When you share links on social media, platforms like Facebook, X, and LinkedIn automatically fetch your links to generate previews. These crawler visits are recorded as clicks by default, but you can exclude them from your analytics and click limits. See skip social crawler tracking for details.
• Attach a custom domain — Using your own domain for branded short links improves click-through rates and makes your links look more trustworthy. It's free to set up on all plans, including the free plan. See our custom domain guide to get started.

The free plan is subject to our Terms & Conditions, including:

• Acceptable use — You may not use Linkly for illegal or unethical purposes, including spam, phishing, or malware distribution.
• API fair use — API access is included, but subject to rate limits. Accounts that abuse the API may be suspended.
• Account termination — We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate our terms without notice.

See our anti-spam policy for more details on prohibited content.

No. Linkly's free plan isn't monetised by ads or affiliate links, like other URL shorteners. It's free in the fullest sense of the word — the only restrictions are listed above.
