Short.ioDie Bitly-Alternative, die nicht mitzahlt
Funf Links im Monat, dann verlangt Bitly zehn Dollar. Za.gl fuhrt gar keinen Zahler, funktioniert schon vor der Anmeldung und zeigt, woher jeder Klick kam.
What each one covers and misses
14 rows: Za.gl wins 8, Short.io wins 4, and 2 are a draw. A table that never loses is an advert.

Short.io figures verified on Bitly-Preise. Ours come from the same place the payment page reads.
Pick a difference, read it
Six places where Za.gl and Short.io behave differently, with the number from the table beside each one.
A domain, assumed
Short.io gives free accounts 1,000 branded links and 50,000 tracked clicks a month across 5 custom domains, which is a lot. It also assumes the part that costs money elsewhere is the domain, and that you already own one and can point its DNS. Without that, the links are demo links. Za.gl starts from the opposite side: the shared domain is the product, and there is nothing to configure.

Short.io questions
Der kostenlose Bitly-Tarif erlaubt 5 Links pro Monat und gibt kostenlosen Nutzern keinen Klickverlauf. Fur einen einzelnen Link reicht das, fur alles Regelmaessige wird es muhsam. Za.gl hat keine monatliche Obergrenze, die Weiterleitung laeuft ohne Werbung und Klick-Statistiken erscheinen auch im kostenlosen Tarif.
Nein. Bereits auf bit.ly veroffentlichte Links laufen weiter uber Bitly. Der Wechsel betrifft nur Links, die Sie ab jetzt anlegen, Sie koennen also nach und nach umziehen statt in einer Migration.
Kurzen, Notizen und Landingpages sind im kostenlosen Tarif unbegrenzt. Pro kostet $5 im Monat oder $50 im Jahr und bringt 90 Tage Statistik-Aufbewahrung, das Bearbeiten jedes Feldes eines Links, Alias mit drei Zeichen und ein Jahr Ablaufzeit.
Eigene Domains, Team-Plaetze und die Integrationsliste. Bitly verbindet sich mit Slack, HubSpot, Canva und anderen, hat Apps fur iOS und Android und laesst ein Unternehmen ab dem Growth-Tarif Links auf der eigenen Domain fuhren. Za.gl hat nichts davon.
Ja. POST an /api/shorten mit einem Authorization: Bearer Header, begrenzt auf 10 Anfragen pro Minute. Die Anfrage funktioniert auch ohne Token, und die Antwort gibt Ihnen eines fur die gerade erstellten Links zuruck.
Er leitet nicht mehr weiter und liefert HTTP 410 Gone, statt den Besucher irgendwohin zu schicken. Sie koennen einen Link nach Klickzahl begrenzen, von 1 bis 1.000.000, oder nach Datum.
