Cut.bd - Shorten links, track every click, brand every domain

by•
Cut.bd is a URL shortener that doesn't stop at shortening. Custom branded domains from the free plan, real click analytics, QR codes, retargeting pixels, conversion funnels, and a public API — all in one dashboard instead of five disconnected tools.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Shrikanta, the maker of Cut.bd. I built this because every link shortener I tried was either a toy (Bitly's free tier gives you almost nothing useful) or a bloated enterprise tool priced for teams of 500. I wanted something a solo marketer could start using in 5 minutes, but that wouldn't fall apart the moment a team needed shared workspaces, branded domains, or real click analytics. A few things I'm proud of that set Cut.bd apart: Custom domains from the Free plan — most competitors gate this behind a paid tier Real analytics, not just a click counter — device, location, referrer breakdowns out of the box QR codes, retargeting pixels, and conversion funnels are built in, so a short link isn't just a redirect; it's a data point Sub-50ms redirects worldwide — the one thing a link shortener can never be slow at A full public API if you want to script link creation instead of clicking through a UI It's live and free to start, no credit card required — [cut.bd link]. Would genuinely love feedback, especially if you're coming from Bitly/Rebrandly/Short.io and can tell me what's missing for you to switch. I'll be in the comments all day answering questions.

Finally tried Cut.bd and the free custom domain caught me off guard. Set up a branded short link in under two minutes and the click map actually showed useful stuff right away.

 Really glad it clicked for you (pun intended) — that 2-minute setup and instant-useful analytics is exactly what we optimized for. Most shorteners either hide the good stuff behind a paywall or bury it under a dashboard you need a manual for. If you keep using it, I'd love to hear which analytics view you check most — helps us prioritize what to build next.

How does the free plan actually hold up if someone starts sending meaningful traffic to branded short links, are there hidden caps on clicks or domains?

Maker

 The Free plan's actual limits are: 30 new links per month, 1 custom domain, and 30-day analytics retention. There's no cap on clicks/redirects — a link can get 10 or 10 million hits in a month and it'll keep resolving and tracking normally, it just won't get bot-flagged extra scrutiny or anything like that. That was a deliberate call: several competitors (Rebrandly, for one) gate you with a hard monthly click allowance even on paid tiers, and a single viral post can blow through it mid-month. We didn't want "your link got popular" to be the thing that breaks your links.

What does change as you scale: past 30 links/month or if you need more than 1 branded domain, longer retention (Starter→60d, Single→1yr, Team→2yr, Ultimate→4yr), password protection, or team seats, you'd move to a paid tier. But raw traffic volume to an existing link is never the trigger.

So: someone driving serious traffic to a single branded link on Free won't hit a wall from clicks — they'd outgrow the plan from needing more links or domains, not more capacity.

Happy to dig into specifics if you have a traffic scenario in mind.
