Till today, Bitly is one of the first and leading URL shortening service providers in the world. According to their website, more than a billion URL has been created so far from over million of the customers. But things are gettings changing now. In today’s article, we are trying to illustrate some ideas about Tick.is link shortening services and some of its features.
Since 2016, Bitly has reduced its features for Free plan users. They are not providing any Custom Domain features, Analytics, and some other features that might be useful for any users. They have upgraded their price plans for these and they are charging for these. If you have a startup company or you owned a small business then bitly is not gonna be the right option for anyone. Because there are a lot of limitations that will impose on their Free plan.
