Where Bitly leaves you

Bitly is the link most people reach for first. It is a capable, well-known shortener, and for a single throwaway link it does the job. The friction shows up when you actually run campaigns on it: the free plan gives you five links a month with no click analytics , and to unlock the basics, history, a custom domain, real reporting, you climb a pricing ladder that scales fast.

SwiftURL is built the other way around. Governance ships on every plan, including Free: every destination is safety-checked before the link goes live, and every meaningful change is written to a tamper-evident audit log. Analytics ship on Free too. You get the short-link job done, with the accountability handled instead of bolted on.

Safe. Branded. Reliable. Accountable.

A free tier you can run a campaign on

100 active links, 1,000 tracked clicks a month, and real analytics, geo, device, referrer, UTM, with no credit card. Brand, ship, and measure a small campaign, then upgrade only when volume grows.

Governance on every link, not just enterprise

Every destination is screened against Google Web Risk plus malware, phishing, and shortener-chain signals before it goes live, and key actions land in a tamper-evident audit log. When legal or a client asks for proof, you have the record.

Links that don't silently break

Automatic link-health monitoring checks your destinations on a schedule and alerts you when one goes down, before a broken link burns ad spend. Custom domains get SSL provisioned and renewed for you.

Fair pricing

Pro is $18 and Business is $49, and the basics (safety checks, audit log, analytics) are never gated behind an enterprise call.

India compliance, if you need it

Sending links over SMS or WhatsApp in India? SwiftURL helps you carry DLT-registered sender headers and keeps DPDP-aligned consent and grievance records. Bitly has no India-compliance tooling. It is tooling that helps you comply, not automatic compliance.

A developer platform included

REST API with scoped keys, HMAC-signed webhooks, and no-SDK mobile deep linking for iOS and Android. See the API.

SwiftURL makes every link safe, branded, reliable, and accountable, runs pre-publish safety checks and a tamper-evident audit log on every plan, and prices fairly, with the basics never gated behind an enterprise call.

How much cheaper is SwiftURL than Bitly?

SwiftURL Pro is $18/mo, and it includes more active links and custom domains at the entry level than comparable Bitly tiers. Compare current figures on the pricing page before deciding, as Bitly changes plans often.

Can I move my existing Bitly links to SwiftURL?

Does SwiftURL do everything Bitly does?

SwiftURL focuses on branded links, real analytics, governance, link-health monitoring, a developer API, and India-ready DLT/TRAI and DPDP tooling. It does not offer QR codes today, so note that gap if QR is essential to your workflow.

Does SwiftURL work outside India?

Yes. Governance, branded links, analytics, and the API are global. The DLT/TRAI tooling is India-specific and optional.
