What do you like best about TinyURL?

The ability to shorten URL's and track how many clicks it has are the only real features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

Their billing practices reflect how they actually feel about their customers. For over a year, I have paid monthly at $12.99/month. Recently my credit card expired, and I updated it. When I updated it, TinyURL charged me for an entire YEAR at once at $119.88 instead of $12.99. At first, it wasn't a huge deal; I figured they would correct it and refund the additional 11 months. NOPE! Not even close. First, there is NO NUMBER to reach them. The number listed on my credit card for this transaction is a Google Voice number that is no longer in service. Google Voice??? Really. That's the same service the scammers trying to sell me a warranty on a car I sold 12 years ago use. So it forces you to go into your TinyURL account and submit a ticket. I submitted the ticket over two months ago. TWO MONTHS AGO! I have responded to that ticket three times, but they have never responded. NOT ONCE.

You can get an accurate idea of how good or bad a company is the moment there is an issue that needs resolution. If you use these clowns, pray nothing ever goes wrong that affects your business because they will completely ignore you.

Also, when you need to add your domain to your account, it doesn't work as seamlessly as they lead you to believe it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TinyURL?

TinyURL is very easy to use, and it provides a user-friendly website. You can easily insert a long url, and it will come back with a short one. It also allows you to create your own alias instead of the generic ones they generate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

At some point, they were updating the website, and there were a lot of errors when using the shorting option. They also didn't have the option to track link history. I used the free version, and there was no free option to create branded links, which another free tool allows me to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TinyURL solving and how is that benefiting you?

I stopped using Tiny URL for a while, and since I started using it again I see they have added more options to their free version, such as Full Link History. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TinyURL?

Fast , reliable easy-to-use app. its user interface is simple to use. Make your lengthy links small just by pasting them in this software and small smart tiny links will appear, which work exactly similar to the previous links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

it's good software. Unfortunately, I like every aspect of it. I would like to give it 10 /10. I think that developer could not have done better work than to what it is already. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TinyURL solving and how is that benefiting you?

As someone from the field of medical research. We need lots of links in the bibliography, references and citations. Pasting long links just uses more space and it doesn't look uniform. But pasting edited links of the same content with a Tiny URL makes the work look professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tinyurl is the best and most effective URL shortener in Markit. Its interface is easy to use, one gets work done effectively and fast.
