Shortlen vs Rebrandly: which is right for you?

Rebrandly builds its whole pitch around the idea that “a link is a brand asset,” and its pricing reflects that: every tier, including free, comes with at least one custom domain, and Rebrandly reports serving 1.5 million+ customers with 50+ million links created. Shortlen takes a plainer approach — three flat plans (Free, Pro and Team) rather than a ladder built around domain counts and teammate seats. Rebrandly’s structure suits agencies managing multiple client domains; Shortlen suits a buyer who wants one simple plan.

What does Rebrandly’s free plan include?

Rebrandly’s free plan includes 10 links a month, 10 QR codes a month, 1 custom domain, and unlimited clicks, with API access at 100 calls/minute. It doesn’t include any teammates — that’s reserved for paid tiers. The free plan is useful for testing the product with a single domain, but the 10-links-a-month cap is tight if you’re shortening links regularly.

What do Rebrandly’s paid plans cost?

Rebrandly’s paid tiers add more links, more domains and, from Professional upward, extra teammates:

Rebrandly also reports, on its own homepage, “1.5 million+ customers,” “50+ million links created,” “3 billion clicks tracked monthly,” and a “39% increase in click-through rates” from using branded links. These are Rebrandly’s self-published figures — not independently verified, and specific to Rebrandly, not a claim about any other shortener.

By comparison, Shortlen’s pricing is three plans: Free, Pro at $7/month, and Team at $19/month. Free gets you started, Pro adds your own domain and full analytics, and Team adds seats for a small team — no domain-count or teammate-count tiers to compare.

When does Rebrandly make more sense than Shortlen?

Rebrandly makes more sense for an agency or a company managing links across several client domains at once. Every tier from Essentials up adds more custom domains (2, 3, then 10 on Growth), and Professional and above add teammate seats — a structure clearly built for teams that need to divide domains and access among several people. If branded-domain management at scale is the job, Rebrandly’s tiers are built for exactly that.

When does Shortlen make more sense than Rebrandly?

Shortlen makes more sense if you want one plan and one price instead of working out how many domains, links and teammates you’ll need this month. Shortlen’s pricing stays simple: three plans, no hidden tiers, and no domain-count ladder to climb as your usage grows. That’s a better fit for an individual or a small team that just wants a branded shortener without agency-scale domain management.
