Rebrandly Alternative (2026): Branded Links Without the Metering

People rarely go looking for a Rebrandly alternative because it stopped working. They go looking because of what it costs once the campaign gets big enough to matter.

The reason people switch: everything is metered

Rebrandly counts three things against your plan every month: links created, QR codes created, and clicks tracked. Most tools meter one of those. Metering all three means the month a campaign works is the month you hit a ceiling, and the upgrade is not small.

The QR quota is the one that surprises people. A QR code is a picture of a link you already made; metering it separately means printing a poster, a menu and a packaging insert costs three units of a monthly allowance, and reprinting costs three more.

The numbers, as published in September 2026

Rebrandly's own pricing page, monthly billing:

• Free: 10 links/month, 10 QR codes/month, 1 custom domain, no teammates.
• Essentials, $11: 250 links, 250 QR codes, 2 domains, 10k clicks, no teammates.
• Professional, $32: 1,500 links, 1,500 QR codes, 3 domains, 25k clicks, 2 teammates.
• Growth, $99: 3,500 links, 3,500 QR codes, 10 domains, 150k clicks, 5 teammates.

For comparison, Urlicer on the same monthly billing (full details on the pricing page):

• Free, $0: 500 links/month, unlimited QR codes, 25k tracked clicks, 1 seat.
• Pro, $12: 5,000 links, unlimited QR codes, 2 domains, 250k tracked clicks, 3 seats.
• Team, $29: 50,000 links, unlimited QR codes, 10 domains, 2.5M tracked clicks, 10 seats.
• Business, $99: 500,000 links, unlimited QR codes, unlimited domains, unlimited clicks, unlimited seats.

At $99, Rebrandly gives 3,500 links and 5 teammates, and Urlicer gives 500,000 links and an unlimited team. At the entry paid tier, $12 buys twenty times the links of an $11 plan, and three people can use it instead of one. Both include two custom domains; here is how branded links work on Urlicer.

Teams are the real cost

Rebrandly includes no teammates at all until the $32 Professional plan, and that plan includes two. If three people touch your links (a marketer, a designer making the QR codes, someone in support pasting help-article links), you are on a $32 plan at minimum, and at five people you are on the $99 one.

Across the category, multi-user access is the feature most shorteners use to move you up a tier. Urlicer includes 3 seats at $12 and 10 at $29 for that reason.

What to check before you switch

• Do you need a custom domain on the free plan? Rebrandly's free plan includes one, within a 10-link monthly limit. On Urlicer, custom domains start on Pro.
• Does your workflow depend on a specific integration? Check it first. Urlicer has no native Zapier, Make or n8n connector, so those tools call the API themselves.
• Do your existing links keep working? Short links live on posters and in print. Moving tools means either keeping the old account alive or moving the domain. Plan it before you cancel. See why short links should never expire.
• Can you export your click history? Check that you can take it with you (CSV export is on Pro and up here).
• Does the free tier let you test properly? Ten links is not enough to trial anything real.
• What happens at the quota? Ask whether links stop being created, or stop being tracked, or stop redirecting. They are very different failures.

Redirect speed

A redirect should be invisible. Urlicer resolves every short link from an in-memory store before routing, so a redirect does not wait on a database query. Most of the delay a visitor feels is the distance to the server and the TLS handshake.

Analytics are cookieless and processed in the EU, so links you paste into a page do not add a consent banner to it.

The risk nobody prices in

Every shared short domain carries the same structural risk: one stranger’s phishing campaign can get the whole domain flagged, and then your links stop resolving, including the ones already printed. Ask any shortener what it does about that. Here is what we do, mechanism by mechanism.

Branded links, unmetered QR codes and a team that fits on the entry paid plan. Start with a free account. Links in your workspace never expire, and every one gets a QR code and click analytics.
