Bitly is more than a weblink shortener
It's an immense pleasure for me to be a part of Bitly's platform. It's an intelligent tool and takes less time to shorten URLs. I am enjoying its features.
PROSI always got frustrated to send someone a lengthy web link, and then I started using Bitly, which resolve this issue. Just paste your link on Bitly, and get it short. That's what I created using Bitly, but I found so many other cool features available on Bitly. It provides branded links and customization along with custom domain essentials as per the payment plan. Bitly supports companies shine by transforming their relations into authoritative tools for marketers and customer care units. Bitly also provides custom links, which replace 'Bitly' with our selected domain name, making our links constantly familiar across networks. It's a fantastic platform, which is essential for data and analytics for better brand management.
CONSBitly has a free version, but it has minimal features if someone wants to use all its features, comprehensive guidelines are required. Despite this, it works well.
Reasons for switching to Bitly
It provides links to shorten your URLs, instead doing this job directly.

Trusted and Worthy URL Shortner Software I have seen throughout My life.
Not only can you shorten your URLs using Bitly, but the service also has features tailored to businesses looking for a unique link experience. Here's an example of what Bitly can accomplish for you: Replace bit.ly with your company's name. Make secure connections. Redirecting a URL is simple. I am very happy with using Bitly software.
PROSIf you're trying to develop a brand through a social media campaign, it's critical that all your links are the same length and seem comparable. In Instagram biographies, as well as Twitter bios, shorter links seem better. So, it is more streamlined in appearance. If someone has chosen to share long URL, there's far too much space for error, and a potential sharer may become annoyed and give up before sharing your link with anyone. So Bitly is easier to replicate. Really, Bitly Shortened URL is working for my running business.
CONSIt has some security issues. You have no idea what this link is for, and if someone provided it to you without any context, you would either block it or distrust it and refuse to click on it. Sometimes i face this problem to run my business.
Reason for choosing Bitly
I come to know different sources that Bitly is good for business performance.
Reasons for switching to Bitly
Once my shortened link was not working when I was promoting my high ticket product with paid method.

Simple, quick, and easy
Bitly's free plan allows you to shorten a certain number of links per month (I think around 10?) This is sufficient for most people but for organizations or companies who need more links, you would need a paid plan. The paid plans start at $8 which I think is quite reasonable. In the world we live in now, you really can't live without link shorteners and bitly makes it simple to use and easy to track.
CONSFirst, I wish there was an easier way to sort the links you make in your bitly account. I believe there's a way to use tags but when you start having nearly 100 links in your account, having folders would be handy. Secondly, the paid plans of Bitly offer UTM builders, which I've never really been able to figure out. Namely, what's the difference between UTM builders and just making more and more links, especially if 100 are already covered under the smallest plant? This however is just a personal issue as I just don't understand the full potential of UTM builders.
