Short.io Pricing, Plans & Alternatives (2026)

Overview

Short.io is a hosted shortener built around custom domains. Its free plan, which allows commercial use, includes one user, five custom domains, 1,000 branded links, 50,000 tracked clicks a month and API access at 50 requests per second^[4]. Detailed statistics on the free plan cover the first 50,000 clicks; collection continues and links keep working beyond that^[4].

Paid plans are Hobby at US$5 a month (seven domains, 2,500 links, country targeting and referrer hiding), Pro at US$18 a month (ten domains, unlimited links and clicks, password protection, expiry and link cloaking), Team at US$48 a month (50 domains, unlimited users, city and region targeting, mobile deep links, end-to-end encryption and a 99.9 percent uptime SLA) and Enterprise at US$148 a month (unlimited domains, multiple teams, SSO, daily raw click exports to Amazon S3 and a dedicated IP)^[4]. Annual billing saves 17 percent and paid plans have a seven-day trial^[4].

Short.io’s free tier and published Enterprise price are its strengths. Limitations include single-user Pro and Hobby plans, AI usage billed as a metered extra on every plan, and automation limits that differed between the plan cards and comparison table at the time of access^[4].
