Alshorty is a free URL shortener that has grown into an all-in-one links platform combining short links, link-in-bio pages, landing pages, QR codes, and analytics. It's aimed at creators, marketers, developers, and small businesses who want more than a bare shortener but don't want to pay for separate tools or hit paywalls on basic analytics.
At its core, you paste a long URL and get a clean short link, with click analytics included rather than gated. Beyond the redirect, Alshorty bundles several tools: every link can produce a free QR code, a Link-in-Bio feature gives you a single page collecting your important links (a Linktree-style profile), and SmartPages let you build full landing pages from drag-and-drop blocks such as hero sections, feature grids, countdown timers, testimonials, FAQs, and lead-capture forms, with no code required. The platform runs on Cloudflare's global edge network so redirects resolve quickly worldwide, and it positions itself as privacy-conscious in how it handles visitor data.
No account or credit card is required to start shortening links. Alshorty offers a free tier plus a paid Pro plan that raises limits and unlocks extras like custom aliases, more bio and landing pages, branding removal, and API access. It's a web-based platform with no app or extension.
What distinguishes Alshorty is bundling five tools (shortener, analytics, QR codes, link-in-bio, and landing-page builder) into one free-first product, explicitly framed against shorteners that lock analytics, expire links, or charge for link-in-bio features.
