Bitly alternative
A privacy-first URL shortener and QR platform built for click attribution at scale. Keep the clean short links you expect from Bitly — and finally learn which link drove each click, not just a total.
Why switch
Bitly counts clicks. visitto.me gives every visitor a unique code, so each click is attributed to the exact link, source and campaign.
Where Bitly meters QR on paid tiers, visitto.me includes unlimited styled QR — with bulk QR generation for print.
No personal data in your links. PII stays private and is mapped by a non-identifying reference. Retention you control.
Branded links and a full public API start on the Starter plan — features others gate behind pricier tiers.
