Can I stop paying for Bitly?

Short answer: probably, if you use the core of it. Short links with click analytics by day and referrer. It's in VibeBundl along with 52 other tools for $19.99/mo. The long answer — including what you'd actually give up — is below, and we haven't softened it.

How much does Bitly cost?

About $35 a month, which is $420 a year, on the plan most individuals end up on. That figure is what we use in our own arithmetic — the savings number on the front page is the sum of these, not a round number we liked.

What do you actually get in VibeBundl?

  • Short links on your own domain path
  • Clicks by day and by referrer
  • Unlimited links

What do I lose by replacing Bitly?

Honestly, these. If any of them is load-bearing for you, keep paying — a bundle that costs you a workflow isn't a saving.

  • A branded short domain of your own
  • QR analytics tied to each link
  • Bitly's deep-link and mobile-app routing

Is there an open-source alternative to Bitly?

Yes — Dub.co. If you're happy running and updating your own server, it will take you further than our version will, and it's free. VibeBundl's argument isn't that it's more capable than Dub.co; it's that it's already running, and so are 52 other tools, on one login.

What's the catch?

These are focused tools, not clones. Each one covers the job you actually opened the original for, and stops there — that's how 53 of them fit behind one $19.99 subscription. Read the list above before you cancel anything.
