Chose Bitly
Bitly is the most fully featured and intuitive of the (albeit limited) options we have evaluated. Bitly is also the link shortener that our staff and our user base have had the most interaction with, so it was the choice with the least friction/switching costs up front. In this …
Bitly is easy to use and budget-friendly. Bitly is also specifically error-free. Being a responsible brand, we have to choose a trusted brand in which this service comes true. It is easily used by even less experienced team members and saves time. The advanced analytics feature …

Chose Rebrandly
I have used Bitly before but find it does not have enough detail like Rebrandly. Shows more information that i useful and has a better user interface. Overall, Rebrandly is better for the purpose of our needs.
Besides Bitly, I have tried also BL.INK. They do pretty much the same, but Rebrandly, as I have mentioned before, allows you to change the final URL once the shortened one is created. The other ones only have this feature in paid plans.
Setting up a branded URL through Bitly was way too complicated. Additionally, the limitation on the number of links created per month was too restrictive. Bitly does allow UTM tracking to be added, but not as dynamically as Rebrandly. Bitly also doesn't have the pixel adding …
Rebrandly is definitely aimed at the professional end of the market. Bitly has been around for a long time, but also overused and abused by bad actors. This can negatively influence a backlink profile in terms of organic search which an SEO professional simply can not afford. …
Rebrandly allows you to link to your domain or subdomain and that's one of the best advantages - doesn't let your brand value dilute over ugly looking or painful long links. Others don't allow connecting your own domain. Customers are hesitant in clicking the links that don't …
Rebrandly is not expensive and unites different features on the same solution. Other solutions (used before) didn't put all the features together. Very bad.
Rebrandly has more features, especially the ability to edit links after the fact. Other link shorteners are good, but Rebrandly is more fully-featured. Rebrandly basically starts where other link shorteners end. Integrated QR code creation is a differentiator. Analytics are …
Easier use of keyword specific URLs. The platform is designed so that specific keywords are more easily incorporated into the domain. Other URL shortening services, we find, are not as easy to navigate in this regard. We we have been using Rebrandly for a little while now and …
So, first of all, Rebrandly comes with unlimited redirects and with the ability to have up to 500 branded links. You can hook your own 5 domains for free and manage them. It is a powerful marketing tool with analytics and other features. Also, one of the best benefits is an …
