Cuttly Review: Pricing, Pros, Cons & Alternatives

Overview

Cuttly is a hosted shortener that bundles short links with QR codes, link-in-bio pages, surveys and action pages^[8]. Its Free plan includes 30 short links and three custom back-halves a month, one branded domain, 30 days of analytics history, unlimited clicks and a UTM generator^[8].

Starter costs US$12 a month or US$132 a year for 300 links a month and editable redirects on the same domain. Single, the most popular plan, costs US$25 a month or US$275 a year for 5,000 links, five branded domains, 365 days of history, customisable QR codes, unique-click analytics, password links, mobile redirects, expiry, retargeting pixels, 50/50 A/B rotation and CSV bulk shortening of 100 links a month. Team costs US$99 a month for 20,000 links, ten domains, 730 days of history, team features for three teams and five members, deep links and campaign analytics; Enterprise costs US$149 a month for 50,000 links, 99 domains and ten teams of 20 members^[8]. Yearly billing saves one month^[8].

Cuttly’s published API rate limits are low on the lower tiers (three requests per minute on Free, six on Starter), which restricts automation; its strengths are long analytics retention and many features for the price^[8].
