The Rebrandly alternative without tracked-click caps
Last updated: August 29, 2026 · Written by URLVIS — yes, we are one of the two products on this page. Sources and methodology are at the bottom.
Rebrandly is the category’s branded-link specialist and its free tier genuinely includes a custom domain. The structural difference: Rebrandly meters TRACKED CLICKS per month on every tier, and none of its plans scans destinations for fraud. URLVIS never caps clicks or their tracking — plans meter link creation only — and every destination passes a security scan before going live. If deep integrations are your priority, Rebrandly earns its reputation; we compare both below.

Why teams go looking for a Rebrandly alternative
Rebrandly does branded links well. The teams that leave usually hit one of these walls:
Tracked-click caps grow faster than link needs
Rebrandly’s plans meter clicks: 100 tracked clicks/mo on Free, 10,000 on Essentials ($13/mo, or $8 billed annually), 150,000 on Growth ($99/mo, or $69 annually), as of August 2026. One viral post can burn a month’s quota. URLVIS has no click caps of any kind — a link that takes off keeps counting; plans meter how many links you create.
Volume pricing climbs steeply
The jump from 250 links (Essentials) to 3,500 links (Growth) is $13 → $99/mo at monthly billing. URLVIS Pro is $15/mo for 5,000 links and 5 domains — because scanning a link costs us fractions of a cent, we sell the security, not the quota.
No security layer on the destination
Branded trust is only as good as where the link lands. Rebrandly does not list pre-publication destination scanning as a plan feature (as of August 2026). URLVIS inspects every destination — blocklists, Safe Browsing, domain age, brand impersonation, AI content analysis — before the link goes live, then re-scans it to catch bait-and-switch.
URLVIS vs Rebrandly, feature by feature
| Feature | URLVIS | Rebrandly |
|---|---|---|
| Custom domain on the FREE plan | Yes (1 domain, required by design) | Yes (1 domain) — genuinely rare, credit where due |
| Click / tracked-click caps | None on any plan | 100/mo Free · 10,000/mo Essentials · 150,000/mo Growth |
| Links per month | Free 5 · Pro 5,000 · Business 50,000 | Free 10 · Essentials 250 · Growth 3,500 |
| Entry paid price | $15/mo (Pro, 5 domains) | $13/mo, or $8/mo billed annually (Essentials, 1 domain) |
| Pre-publication security scan of every destination | Yes — multi-layer, then periodic re-scans | Not offered as a listed plan feature |
| Edit destination after publishing | Every plan, including Free | Included with branded links |
| QR codes | Free 5/mo · paid plans unlimited | Included; limits vary by tier |
| Integrations catalog | API (Business), CSV import/export — deliberately small surface | Large catalog incl. Zapier and developer tooling |

Which tool fits which job?
The honest split — and what each trade actually costs:
- A free custom domain is the job: both free tiers include one — genuinely rare in this category, credit to Rebrandly. The difference is what rides on that domain from day one: Rebrandly meters your tracked clicks (100/mo on Free); URLVIS scans your destinations and never meters a click.
- A broad integrations catalog is the job: Rebrandly fits it, and URLVIS deliberately does not chase it. Fewer moving parts is our feature — teams that want a link platform to administer pick them; teams that want links to just be safe pick us.
- A decade of enterprise track record with SLAs is the job: that is Rebrandly’s résumé. If the actual requirement behind the paperwork is "our links must never embarrass us," the scan on every destination answers it more directly than an SLA does.
- Workspace governance at scale (deep roles, UTM policy) is the job: Rebrandly is deeper there today. Everything you publish through it still goes out unscanned — governance of the link, not of where it lands.
Migrating from Rebrandly in an afternoon
- Export your links from Rebrandly (CSV).
- Add your domain in URLVIS — if you already used a custom domain on Rebrandly, you own it; repoint one CNAME record and it comes with you.
- Bulk-import the CSV (Pro and Business); same slugs, same domain, zero dead links.
- Every imported destination is scanned before going live — an audit of your whole link estate for free, on day one.
This is the best-case migration in the category: if your Rebrandly links already ran on YOUR domain, the short addresses themselves survive the move — repoint DNS and the same printed QR keeps working. That portability is the whole argument for own-domain links.
Start free with your own domain
Other Rebrandly alternatives worth considering
- Bitly — The category’s biggest brand and integrations catalog; custom domain from paid tiers.
- Short.io — Generous free tier (multiple domains); analytics-first rather than security-first.
- TinyURL — Simplest anonymous shortening; team features on paid tiers.
Common questions when leaving Rebrandly
Do my branded short links survive the move?
If they ran on your own domain at Rebrandly — yes. Export the CSV, repoint the CNAME to URLVIS, bulk-import, and the same addresses keep resolving. That is the entire point of owning the domain.
Does URLVIS really have no click caps?
Correct. Plans meter link creation and analytics retention windows (Free 7 days, Pro 2 years, Business 3 years) — never how many clicks a link receives or how many are tracked.
What does the security filter check?
Blocklists, Google Safe Browsing, domain age, brand-impersonation patterns and an AI reading of the destination in 7 languages — before publication, and again afterwards. Try the same engine free on our link checker.
