Kondaino shortens URLs and logs one thing: a click count. No IP addresses, no device fingerprints, no referrer data — ever. Free plan: 25 links, 6 months each. No credit card. Paid plan (from $4.99/mo): 100,000 links, full REST API, custom expiry dates up to 24 months, no per-click overages, no "contact sales" for anything. Commit for 6 to 48 months for 5–30% off the base rate.
How does the REST API handle rate limits on the paid plan, and is there any usage cap I should watch out for before committing to a longer term?
@haydar255231, the API has a rate limit of 1000 requests/hour by default on the paid plan. Contact me at hello@kondaino.com.
how do you actually count clicks without storing any ip or device info, is it just a raw increment per request hitting the redirect endpoint?
@nurcanc8nn pretty much, we only log click count, your email address, password, and API key for paid users. This is why we are launching with e-transfer for payment to minimize the personal information we collect. This is a privacy-first URL shortener to comply with Canadian and European privacy laws.
I added status monitoring for https://www.kdourl.com, the frontend portal for kondaino URL-shortening services, using UpTimeRobot. Public dashboard is available here: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/MSYFIFrf5x
Love that the free tier actually gives you six months instead of expiring in 30 days like everyone else. Refreshing to see a shortener that respects privacy by default and doesn't hide the API behind a sales call.
@pakize177947 Agreed, our free tier is functional, and links expire in 6-months. If you need more functionality and API access, you can opt in to a paid plan.
