The pricing reality

T.ly is one of the more affordable shorteners with an API, and for clean short links and basic counts it does the job well at a low price.

visitto.me's free plan already includes 100 links a month with full click analytics, so the gap isn't price — it's what the clicks tell you. From £5 a month you add a branded domain; on any plan, each link can fan out into per-recipient tracked codes with first-click alerts and webhooks.

Which should you choose?

Choose T.ly if…

  • You want the cheapest possible API-driven shortener for basic links.
  • Total click counts are all the reporting you'll ever need.
  • One short domain for everything is fine.

Choose visitto.me if…

  • You need to attribute clicks to specific people or placements.
  • You want events pushed to your own systems via signed webhooks.
  • You need styled QR codes in unlimited volume, with bulk export.

visitto.me vs T.ly: common questions

Does visitto.me have an API like T.ly?

Yes — a public REST API with scoped keys on every plan, plus idempotent bulk endpoints for creating up to 1,000 links or 5,000 recipient codes per request, and nine HMAC-signed webhook events.

What does per-recipient attribution add over T.ly's click counts?

Instead of one counter per link, each person or placement gets a unique code with its own click history — who clicked, when, where and on what device — plus an alert on the first click. That's the difference between measuring traffic and measuring people.

Can I start free and upgrade later?

Yes. The free plan includes 100 links a month with analytics and unlimited QR. Starter (£5/mo) adds a branded domain; higher tiers add volume, domains and longer click-history retention.
