Bitly 缩短链接。 Linkly 控制链接去向。

Bitly is one of the most recognised names in link shortening, and for good reason — it pioneered the category and has spent years building a reliable product. If your goal is simply shortening long URLs and tracking how many times each link was clicked, Bitly does that well. The problem is that marketers today need considerably more than a click counter, and Bitly's feature set has not kept pace with what modern performance marketing demands.

The gap becomes most apparent when you look at what Bitly charges for features like geo-targeting and device targeting: those capabilities exist as analytics dimensions — you can see where clicks came from — but Bitly does not let you route traffic based on them. Linkly does. Combined with retargeting pixel support, link expiration rules, and A/B split testing via link rotators, Linkly offers a fundamentally different product category: active link management rather than passive link tracking.

The pricing comparison makes the decision straightforward for most marketers. At $39/mo, Linkly's 25k plan undercuts Bitly's comparable tier by a wide margin while offering features Bitly doesn't include at any price. The main reason to stay with Bitly is brand recognition or if your team relies on a Bitly integration that would be difficult to replace — otherwise, the feature-to-price ratio strongly favours Linkly.
