    Considered Both Products
    Bitly
    Chose Bitly
    we have also evaluated and used other URL shortening and link tracking tools such as TinyURL, Ow.ly (Hootsuite's link shortener), and Rebrandly. Each of these tools offers similar features to Bitly, including URL shortening, link tracking, and analytics. However, we found Bitly …

    Chose Bitly
    Bitly stands out against TinyURL because of the improved functions. What I mean is that TinyURL does not feature a link management feature as well constructed as Bitly does. The lack of these features makes TinyURL a not-so-attractive option if you want to engage your presence …

    Chose Bitly
    We selected Bitly because there are more features on the administrative side, at least when we initially purchased our account. We have not checked back with TinyURL recently to see if their interface has improved.

    Chose Bitly
    Bitly is easy to use and budget-friendly. Bitly is also specifically error-free. Being a responsible brand, we have to choose a trusted brand in which this service comes true. It is easily used by even less experienced team members and saves time. The advanced analytics feature …

    Chose Bitly
    Simplicity of the tool is Bitly’s competitive advantage. It is is easy to use, create links and measure and report analytics. Though Hootsuite had other use cases such as social sharing, scheduling, etc. Bitly is great if you have to shorten links or give the links their own …
