My free plan allows me to create 10k links per month. As per their current pricing, the most expensive plan ( $199/month) allows you to create 3000 links per month.

Why is this company alive? What asshole would pay them $199 every month for just 3k links when you can buy a $4 VPS, host yourls or shlink and generate as many as you want?

I do wonder how much Amazon is paying them. And why couldn't they build something in house for their affiliate program and other products.

 

[Navjot Singh]

Probably funding the entire company at this point. lol
