What is ShortifyMe?
The Clean, Affordable Link Management Platform for Small Business
Most URL shorteners force a compromise. Pay enterprise prices to unlock the features you actually need, or settle for a free tool that displays ads on your links and limits what you can do. ShortifyMe was built differently.
A genuinely free tier with no ads. Paid plans starting at $7.99 per month that include custom domains, detailed click analytics, and full API access from day one. One simple dashboard for every link and QR code you create.
No bloat. No surprise fees. No ads on your links, ever. Just the tools small businesses actually use, priced to fit a small business budget.
Shorten Links Without Leaving the Page
The ShortifyMe browser extension for Chrome and Edge lets you shorten any link or generate a QR code in one click, without opening a new tab or leaving the page you are on. Perfect for social media managers, content marketers, and anyone who shares links dozens of times a day.
Available free on every plan, including the free tier. Over 1,240 small business users already rely on the Chrome extension every day.

What is a URL Shortener, and Why Should Your Business Use One?
A URL shortener is a service that converts long, complex web addresses into short, shareable links. When someone clicks the short link, they are redirected to the original URL.
Small businesses use URL shorteners for five main reasons:
- Share cleaner links on social media, email, and printed marketing
- Track which marketing channels actually drive website visits
- Build brand recognition using a custom short domain
- Generate QR codes for offline campaigns that link to trackable URLs
- Test different versions of links to see what drives real engagement
A good URL shortener is more than a redirect service. It is a measurement tool that tells you exactly which content, posts, and campaigns are actually driving business results. And a good shortener never shows ads on the links you create.
Why Small Businesses Choose ShortifyMe?
Real Features. Honest Pricing. No Ads.
Most URL shorteners either strip features from their free plan until it is unusable, or charge enterprise prices for the features small businesses actually need. ShortifyMe is built for the middle. Every core feature a growing business needs, priced for a small business budget, with no ads on any link.
Brand Every Link with Your Own Domain
Generic short links look spammy. Branded short links like yourbrand.com/summer25 look professional and earn more clicks. ShortifyMe makes custom domains simple to set up on any paid plan. Point your domain at us, add a DNS record, and start publishing branded links in minutes. Starter plans include one custom domain. Basic plans include three. Premium includes ten.

No confusing UTM workarounds required, and no ads ever shown to the audiences you earned.
Every Link in One Simple Dashboard
