"Short, Sweet, and Clickable!"
What do you like best about Bitly?

I strongly value the benefits of link management and tracking, especially for businesses dedicated to data-driven marketing. Effective link tracking can transform insights into actionable strategies, driving measurable results and ensuring solid data is returned to every marketing decision. I appreciate that Bitly can be a part of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

I haven't given this much thought as I've used the platform for over 10 years, but during my time in the nonprofit sector, I disliked the limited number of free links allowed and the absence of nonprofit rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BITLY FOR NONPROFITS"
What do you like best about Bitly?

As a nonprofit with limited funds, I have to be careful with how to utilize those funds. Bitly is able to help maximize our resources better. With link shortening, we can create better social media posts that won't exceed the character limit or overall make it more presentable. We also like to the customization option for QR codes. We can change our logo, and the public has started to gain trust compared to a QR with no association. Link redirects have also been a great help. We redirect clients to a pdf and that pdf needs to be updated every other week. We have three redirects each month and that is just right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

I am not sure, but would like to have webinars on how to use other areas such as Campaigns, AI, integration. That we we know if we ever want to go the next subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love Bitly because they help me save time AND money."
What do you like best about Bitly?

I have a lot of good things to say about Bitly. I appreciate the way that I save time and stay organized through the link creator and QR codes creator. I use that every day, and it's super easy to implement into my daily routine. I also appreciate being able to delete the links that I create using Bitly, because the link is remotely deleted as well, which helps me keep my clients from stealing my product. I work hard and I have already seen a difference in my customer base not running away with my creations. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

I have nothing bad to say about Bitly, honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, Easy to See Impact"
What do you like best about Bitly?

Bitly is an extremely intuitive tool that allows our team to quickly measure traffic to different links and resources. It takes barely a minute to create a shortened URL - which always looks much neater & cleaner in our copy! It is easy for more junior members of our team to understand the a campaigns success without needing additional tools that might be more complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

None! We are overall extremely satisfied with Bitly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for tracking UTMs and creating QR codes"
What do you like best about Bitly?

Easy to use with a nice interface that makes creating the shortened links a great experience. Everything is centralised, QR codes, event landing pages, and UTMs. Great tracking metrics. I use it daily for my social media and event activities. It is very easy to implement in a few minutes you have your account ready to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

It is a bit on the pricier side and the limit of links/month could be an issue if you are creating a lot of content. I would like to have more seats for my team so everyone could use it with their own account. That way we could also know who created each link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
