    Short is far superior to Bitly in almost every way. It has better tracking, better organizational features, and is easier to use.

    Short.cm stands out to be the most easiest and accessible long links shortening software I have ever used. I recommend this software to any user who works on Twitter mostly as it has a character limit for its tweets. Also for organisations that require shortened links to …

    I used Bitly many years ago. I prefer Short.io because it's a bit easier to use and set up. Plus it's free on the tier that we need.

    Our security officer said Short.cm's security practices were better than the others. I like Short.cm more than the others because of its interface and statistics dashboard.

    It's the cheapest and most user-friendly of the bunch. I also appreciate the Chrome extension which makes shortening a page super quick.

    Short.cm is best suited where you need to type something with a character limit and you can't afford to add long links. Instead, you can shorten the link using Short.cm and paste it into the messaging app. Example: Twitter has a character limit for tweets. Short.cm is less appropriate for apps like Gmail, Slack, etc that have an inbuilt hyperlinking mechanism making Short.cm's usage is very minimal. (My personal experience).
