What do you like best about Dub?

I've been using Dub.co as my link shortener and it's been amazing! The ability to update links on the fly through their dashboard is a total game-changer for my production needs. It's super convenient to make real-time updates without having to change the link in our code and redeploy everything.

The support team is incredible. I had a request and the founder, Steven, personally fixed it within a few hours. That level of dedication is rare and truly appreciated.

Overall, Dub.co is a fantastic tool with top-notch support. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and flexible link shortener. Five stars all the way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
