I tried Bitly and Rebrandly first. Both are good but got pricey fast the moment I wanted a custom domain, branded links, and real analytics behind a paywall. URLyte gives me those same core things (custom domain, QR codes, click tracking) on a free or low-cost plan, and setup was noticeably simpler. For an indie/small-team budget it was an easy switch.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built URLyte because most link tools are either too basic or too expensive for marketers, creators, and small teams.
With URLyte, you can create branded links, use custom domains, generate white label QR codes, build link in bio pages, add Meta and Google retargeting pixels, and track detailed click analytics.
You can get started for free. Pro is just $5/month and Business is $15/month.
I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions in the comments. Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
How does the custom root domain setup actually work — do I point DNS to your servers or do you handle the SSL cert and redirect rules through a dashboard?
@mehtapatalpbub
You just point a DNS record at us and we do the rest. We auto-issue and auto-renew the SSL cert, and you manage all your links + redirects from the dashboard. No servers, no cert wrangling. Root/apex domains work too via an ALIAS record.
Happy to help you get one live if you want to try it!
How does the retargeting pixel actually attach to a shortened link, does it fire on the redirect itself or only on a destination page I control?
@n_yalc32635 Good question, and you've spotted the key detail. A raw redirect (301/302) can't run JavaScript, so the pixel can't fire on the redirect itself. And no, you don't need to own or edit the destination page. Here's how it works: when a link has a pixel attached, we route the click through a lightweight "powered by URLyte" interstitial on our side (shows for a second) instead of doing a bare redirect. Your Meta and/or Google pixel fires there as a standard PageView, which drops the visitor into your retargeting audience, and then they continue on to the final destination.The upside of doing it this way: because the pixel fires on our page, you can retarget everyone who clicks the link, even when it points to a site you don't control (a partner page, an affiliate link, a product page, anywhere). You just paste your Meta Pixel ID or Google Ads ID once in the link settings. No code on the destination needed.
Happy to go deeper if you want!
Way more useful than I expected for five bucks a month, the custom domains and retargeting pixels alone save me juggling two other tools.
How does the retargeting pixel actually attach to a short link without slowing down the redirect noticeably?
I shorten links on my own domain with URLyte and it just works. Setup was painless (they handle the SSL cert for you) and the click tracking has been rock solid. For the price it punches way above its weight. Congrats on the launch!
Real user here 👋 I moved my short links and link-in-bio over to URLyte and haven't looked back. Custom names, a clean dashboard, and free QR codes cover everything I need, and the analytics actually help me see what's landing. Great to see it on PH, congrats to the team!
