RebrandlyRebrandly alternative without a domain
Rebrandly is built around putting links on your own domain, and prices the link count accordingly: 10 a month on free, 250 for $11. If the domain is not the point, za.gl shortens without a cap.
What each one covers and misses
15 rows: Za.gl wins 10, Rebrandly wins 4, and 1 are a draw. A table that never loses is an advert.

Pick a difference, read it
Six places where Za.gl and Rebrandly behave differently, with the number from the table beside each one.
Ten links a month
A free Rebrandly account creates 10 links a month. That is a deliberate shape: the product is built for a company putting every link on rebrand.ly or its own domain, and it prices the volume. If you are shortening a handful of links a week for support tickets, documentation or a newsletter, the counter arrives long before the value does.

Rebrandly questions
Volume. Rebrandly free allows 10 links a month, Essentials at $11 allows 250, and Professional at $32 allows 1,500. If you create links steadily but do not need a branded domain, you are paying for the domain feature through a link counter.
No. Links already published on rebrand.ly or your own connected domain keep resolving through Rebrandly. Only the links you make from now on are affected.
No. That is the one thing Rebrandly does that za.gl does not do at any price. If branded links are the requirement, Rebrandly is the better tool and this comparison should end there.
