Het Bitly-alternatief dat niet meetelt
Vijf links per maand, daarna vraagt Bitly tien dollar. Za.gl houdt helemaal geen teller bij, werkt voordat je een account maakt en laat zien waar elke klik vandaan kwam.
What each one covers and misses
14 rows: Za.gl wins 8, Cuttly wins 3, and 3 are a draw. A table that never loses is an advert.

Pick a difference, read it
Six places where Za.gl and Cuttly behave differently, with the number from the table beside each one.
A counter that resets
Cuttly free allows 30 links a month. It is more generous than most free tiers and it is still a number you have to keep in your head near the end of the month. Za.gl has no monthly quota on links, pastes or landing pages, so the only decision left is what to put on each link: an alias, a password, an expiry date.

Overstappen kost een link
Er valt niets te migreren. Links die al op bit.ly staan blijven werken; je maakt de volgende gewoon hier. Plak een adres op de startpagina, voeg een alias, wachtwoord of vervaldatum toe als je die nodig hebt, en kopieer het resultaat. Het token in het antwoord is wat die links later een account maakt, als je een dashboard wilt.
- Live instantly, no account
- Password and expiry, free
- 7 days of click history
Step 1
Paste the link
Any address, any length, on the homepage or in the box at the top of this page. No account, no email.
5 secondsStep 2
Add what the link needs
A chosen ending, a password, an expiry date or a click cap. Every one of them is on the free plan.
20 secondsStep 3
Copy it, keep the token
The response carries an access token. Paste it into the login box later and the links become an account with a dashboard.

Cuttly questions
Het gratis plan van Bitly staat 5 links per maand toe en geeft gratis gebruikers geen klikgeschiedenis. Prima voor een losse link en vervelend voor alles wat regelmatig is. Za.gl heeft geen maandlimiet op links, de doorverwijzing gaat zonder advertenties en klikstatistieken verschijnen ook in het gratis plan.
Nee. Links die je al op bit.ly hebt gepubliceerd blijven via Bitly werken. Overstappen raakt alleen de links die je vanaf nu maakt, dus je kunt geleidelijk verhuizen in plaats van in een migratie.
Verkorten, notities en landingspaginas zijn onbeperkt in het gratis plan. Pro kost $5 per maand of $50 per jaar en voegt 90 dagen bewaartermijn voor statistieken, het bewerken van elk veld van een link, aliassen van drie tekens en een vervaldatum van een jaar toe.
Eigen domeinen, teamplaatsen en de integratielijst. Bitly koppelt met Slack, HubSpot, Canva en andere, heeft iOS- en Android-apps, en laat een bedrijf vanaf het Growth-plan links op het eigen domein zetten. Za.gl heeft daar niets van.
Ja. POST naar /api/shorten met een Authorization: Bearer header, beperkt tot 10 verzoeken per minuut. Het verzoek werkt ook zonder token, en het antwoord geeft er een terug voor de links die je net hebt gemaakt.
Hij verwijst niet meer door en geeft HTTP 410 Gone terug in plaats van de bezoeker ergens heen te sturen. Je kunt een link begrenzen op aantal kliks, van 1 tot 1.000.000, of op datum.
