What is Short.io?
Short.io is a URL shortener built around custom branded domains, letting businesses replace generic short link services with links on their own domain name. It includes real time click analytics with IP, device, referrer, and location data, dynamic QR codes, and an API for developers who want to automate link creation.
The free plan allows up to 1,000 branded links and five custom domains at no cost, while paid tiers raise link and domain limits and add features such as password protection, link expiration, link cloaking, city and region targeting, mobile deep links, team roles, and single sign-on at the top tier. Short.io connects to Zapier, which extends it to tools like Slack, Google Sheets, Shopify, and WordPress.
