As advertised
Using Rebrandly for setup, generation and management of customized shortened URLs ('vanity' URLs).
PROSEasy to onboard. Easy to use. Optimized short domain purchase and management. Nothing extra in the interface. For two brands, it took me less than half an hour to purchase shortened URL domain, set-up redirects and create links. The pricing is fair and legitimately volume-based.
CONSNo cons. It would be convenient if it integrated more seamlessly with more social schedulers, but the sleek experience they provide is worth a couple extra copy-pastes IMHO.
Reason for choosing Rebrandly
Zero gripes about Hootsuite. We still use it every day for scheduling and are very happy with it, but: (1) We have multiple brands, and needed multiple shortened URLs. This meant a considerable price difference. Rebrandly gives you 5 SURLs for $4 (technically, you can get 5 for free, but then you don't get basic redirecting). Hootsuite prices vanity SURLs as a premium feature. So Team Tier for 1 SURL (5x cost of their Professional Plan), Business Tier for 5 SURLs (25x cost of their Professional plan). Yes, both of these Tiers come with a lot more firepower than just additional vanity SURL support, but it in our case, we only needed SURLs. (2) The shortened URL experience in Hootsuite, while quite good, seems designed for larger marketing teams. More steps than we needed.

Easy to use, great for the free plan
We have a lot of files (PDF) that we update frequently. With Rebrandly, we can have one link and place it everywhere. When we need to update the file, we can do so just by updating one short link.
PROSThe easy of use when setting up Rebrandly is a real highlight. Most other services don't allow custom domains on the free plan. This is great for starting out and has helped us a lot. The 5,000 clicks a month is more than enough for us and anyone starting out.
CONSThe UI can be a little slow at times. We have also had an issue sometimes of links not going to the most up to date link that we entered.
Reason for choosing Rebrandly
Rebrandly was the most cost friendly and had all the features we need. We had looked at others (Bitly) but the pricing was just to much when we first started out.

This app is a scam
I paid for an annual subscription. Once you paid, tell you how limited your options are, and they push you to keep upgrading your membership to get what you need. Their reports are a scam, a nightmare to set up and highly inaccurate. Customer service level is low and after hours of trying to get any help, you get nowhere. There claims are misleading and it's a scam
Reason for choosing Rebrandly
Because what they say about the reporting and analytics side, total scam

The perfect solution for short URLs
Overall, Rebrandly is a fantastic app that does exactly what I need it to do in the simplest way possible.
PROSThere are a lot of reasons why I don't use any other URL shortener. For one, getting a branded short URL is dead simple with Rebrandly. You don't even have to deal with 3rd-party registrars or DNS settings. Just purchase the domain through Rebrandly and you're set. Also, Rebrandly makes it easy to add UTM tracking to shortened URLs.
CONSI don't like that Rebrandly has yet to penetrate the market for 3rd party integrations. Would really love to see the more adoption with apps like Agorapulse.
Reasons for switching to Rebrandly
Rebrandly made custom domains much easier, and has a better pricing structure.

Solid Link Shortener
I use Rebrandly for multiple businesses, and the simplicity & integrations make creating and sharing with branded links a breeze.
PROSAn easy to use link shortener that is branded to your own domain. The free version is good to test it out, but many of the essential features are only available to paid accounts.
CONSSince I've been using Rebrandly, they've consistently downgraded the account tiers, making this service much more expensive.
Reasons for switching to Rebrandly
Better features and more customization at a better price.

Great way to make branded links
Rebrandly has made it so much easier to share links on social media, and especially via printed materials. Since the links are shorter and easier to read, it's much easier for people to type them in. Turning long referral urls into short easy to read urls has been really important and useful for our business.
PROSThe ability to make great looking short links to share on social media or on printed material. The system was also relatively easy to setup and connect to me current domain name. I like the option to also purchase more domains directly from them. Being able to use my current URL and create a custom version was probably the best feature of this product.
CONSI've had no major problems so far. The only thing I've noticed is that there is no Safari extension option, just the bookmarklet for creating branded links. They do have a macOS app, but I'd rather not have another button in my menu bar.
Reason for choosing Rebrandly
The free version has much more features and allows you to use your current domain name for the short url.
Vendor Response
Hi Teegan, Thanks for your review of Rebrandly. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the tool and we've helped you bridge the gap between digital and print advertising. I'll pass your comments along to our team regarding the Safari extension, we may prioritize expanding our efforts there in the future. Katie

Simple way to create branded links to websites
I have a lot of links to shared onedrive and dropbox folders to give out to clients, they are almost gobbledegook if trying to read out or type into a website from a printed letter or flyer so I needed to make them branded with our company and easy to use. The ability to check if they are getting used and from where is a good plus point
PROSThe speed and simplicity in adding a subdomain to the account and was very quickly up and running with my branded links. Now instead of deciphering a cryptic link from one of my dropbox or onedrive shares they are now branded english links
CONSThe jump between the free and the starter is a massive gulf I would like to see cheaper price after free with a few more features that smaller companies can use.
Reason for choosing Rebrandly
The support was excellent and the platform is so clean and uncluttered and everything works really well

I really like this tool for rebranding and shortening my links, you can't go wrong.
This is very easy to use and create new, rebranded links for any URL. You can also edit those links so if your target changes you can update the branded link with the new target URL and not have to change the one you are sharing.
CONSI do not recommend tying your Rebrandly account with Clickmeter as you will not be able to go back and edit them later. I had to delete all my Clickmeter links and start over so I could edit. Also, the stats are limited with the free account.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the great review Bob, it's great to hear that you're enjoying Rebrandly- especially the editing feature. Sorry about the inconvenience with having to delete the ClickMeter connected links!

The URL Shortener that will bring you detailed analysis
Amazing Tool!
PROSAs a Business Professional and a Marketer, branding your links is a must because if your links are generic, no one will remember it because it only has a bunch of letters and numbers which is gibberish but with Rebrandly, Brand your links so that people will click on it and remember it. Of course, those links that are super-long will be shortened, no more annoying hyperlinks that are way too long. If you’re an advocate of Personal Branding, then use this because it’s a must-haves for Branding Experts.
CONSAs far as I can know, I still don’t see or had any bad experience using this Software.

Thanks for the great review, Ron. I'm really glad that you're finding Rebrandly useful- we totally agree. Having your brand on your links is so important for creating a cohesive customer experience. Happy rebranding! -Katie Espinoza Rebrandly

Pricing changes makes rebrandly unreliable for larger users
Terrible.-I spent months going back and forth with their accounts team. We were paying $250/mo, they told us we could pay $99.-Then, price increased to $119 with 7 days notice.-For the last 2+ years, when we went over a certain amount of links per month, we were billed accordingly for the overage-Now, we cannot create any more links until next month, unless we pay $4299 up front for the year.-Chat support team didn't see the urgency that our platform is down, because of this.-We are forced to now code a new short link system urgently, so our users aren't affected.With processes like this, and amateur pricing + support tactics, I don't think Rebrandly is as big as they advertise. We are looking into other platforms / git repos to build our own for free
PROSIt was easy to use with minimal downtime
CONSManagement changing features + eventual pricing extortion as we grew

Rebrandly is a leading QR code management platform
Rebrandly has become an essential piece of our tech stack puzzle for marketing, given our focus on physical marketing, QR codes and redirects.
PROSRebrandly is incredibly easy to use and it took no time for our team to get comfortable. The tagging makes our attribution that bit more powerful and insightful. Rebrandly is powerful for web redirecting which was a crucial aspect we were missing in Branch and desperately needed. Brand enables us to change links once they've been created which can be really helpful in certain instances.
CONSThe pricing can be prohibitive due to limits on the amounts of scans they allow before you have to upgrade. As opposed to licenses able to access the platform which might be better for a business like us that generates thousands of QR codes with millions of scans.

Making Branded Links Easy
The UX of the software is really what makes Rebrandly shine. Some of the other competitors interface can get a bit overwhelming. As soon as you log in you have a next chronological list of your shorten links, a nice description and the ability to clink into each link to view metrics. The utility of link shortening software is pretty straight forward across most companies, however, it's the easy-of-use that is the primary differentiator. We use a very scaled down version of Rebrandly, so I it can get pretty complex the more you scale up your needs. For a small- to mid-sized company wanting to have branded shorten URLs and an easy way to track traffic through links, this is a easy as it gets.
CONSHonestly, there isn't much I don't like. As I said above, we purchased a smaller package with the knowledge that we were using it to meet a very specific need. If we were using at the enterprise level or going beyond link tracking, my response could be a bit different.

Overall a good product, albeit expensive and options that should be standard are extra cost. Support is very defensive, don't answer questions related to feature request, rather just offer to call and "make it work for you".

Best Free URL Brand Shortener
I have used it for a while now mainly on LinkedIn and Facebook to post relevant content which then points to my own sites. Been happy with it and how it functions. If I had much more traffic I would have subscribed for the paid version but for now a Free version does the job. Not many people know about Rebrandly and I would love to recommend it to anyone because it is Free, has many features of similar paid services and is easy to use and master.
PROSSome of Advantages Rebrandly has over other URL Brand Shorteners: - It is Free - Comes with unlimited redirects - Tracking 5000 clicks Free which is more then any other competitor - Can have 500 branded links - Ability to hook your own 5 domains (no other competitor lets you have this for free) - Easy to use
CONSAs I am using a Free version there is nothing to dislike, everything is good.

Really good deal for its service.
Rebrandly is a very welcome alternative as shortener if you would like to use your own domain. I was looking for a long time for an alternative to Yourls, and Rebrandly was a good fit. It is hosted, easy to set up and works right away.
CONSIf you need statistics, you'll have to rely on the integrations with Bitly or Goo.gl. There is no easy way to get all the stats, unless it's one url per time. If you need something working right out of the box, with a custom domain, this is for you. But if you need statistics, you'd better use the apps feature to add bitly or goo.gl to get basic information on your tracking links.

Brand Your Links
All links I share with my clients regarding my business has now the studio name etched in, which is fantastic. I wish they come up with new solutions and innovate as to what further can be done using this system, also to rebrand and share temporary cloud links would be great.
PROS- Branding and personalising in the age of links galore adds a layer of elegance, professionalism as well as helps in maintaining the brand identity with a personal touch. - You can create custom links to just about anything on the internet, for sharing purposes.
CONS- A bit tedious - One needs to own a domain name exclusively for Rebrandly use only, cannot integrate with a pre existing domain - Wish there was a quick link creation method in order to share temporary links to files in the cloud storage etc.

Great Featured URL Shortener

PROSRebrandly makes it easy to use your own domain to shortern links so that they look professional and inviting to click.

Hey Adriahnna, thanks for the great review! Just FYI, you can disable the automatic link detection feature of the extension if you don't want it to suggest you rebrand every link. Just right click on the extension, go to Options and toggle to turn it off. I hope that'll help you out!
