Bitly alternative

The link tool that doesn’t expire your codes.

If you came looking for a Bitly alternative, here is the short version: short links and on-brand QR codes at one flat price, never metered on clicks or scans, with codes that never expire.

Where we differ

Two ways to price the same link.

How AppURL works, next to how the usual link and QR platforms tend to work.

The usual link platforms

  • Free-plan links can expire
  • QR codes cost extra, often per code per month
  • Pricing climbs with clicks and volume
  • Custom domains and analytics gated behind higher tiers

AppURL

  • Links and codes never expire
  • On-brand QR on every link, included
  • Flat price by links held, never by traffic
  • Smart routing and analytics on paid plans, plainly listed

Comparison describes common patterns across link and QR platforms. Check any provider’s current terms before you switch.

Why people move

Four reasons founders switch to us.

Your codes never expire

Print a QR code on a menu or a box and it keeps resolving. No trial clock, no plan change that quietly kills the codes you already shipped.

The QR is included, not rented

Every link you make can be an on-brand QR code, in your plan. The usual platforms charge a monthly fee per code; we don’t rent a picture back to you.

Flat price, never metered on traffic

You pay by how many links you keep, never by clicks or scans. A post that takes off doesn’t move your bill.

Re-point anything, anytime

Change where any link or code goes in one click, as often as you like. The printed address stays the same.

Switch in one paste.
