A T.LY alternative with branding built in
T.LY is a fast, simple shortener. URLyte gives you the same quick shortening plus branded links (urlyte.com/yourbrand/link), richer analytics, and QR codes with your own logo — so every link reinforces your brand, not just a random code.
Why people switch from T.LY to URLyte
Branded namespaces, not random codes
Instead of a random short code, put your brand in every link: urlyte.com/yourbrand/sale. Recognisable links get clicked and trusted more.
Analytics that go deeper
See clicks by country and device, and traffic over time — on every link — in a clean dashboard, not just a raw counter.
Branded QR codes
Every link gets a downloadable QR code, and on Pro you can drop your own logo into the center for fully white-label QR codes.
A link-in-bio page included
Get a urlyte.com/@you page to collect all your links — perfect for Instagram, TikTok and your socials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is URLyte a good T.LY alternative?
Yes. URLyte does everything you'd expect from a shortener and adds branded namespaces, geographic analytics, custom-logo QR codes, and a link-in-bio page in one dashboard.
Can I brand my links with URLyte?
Yes — create a namespace with your brand and every link becomes urlyte.com/yourbrand/…, no custom domain needed. You can also connect your own domain on a paid plan.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. URLyte is free to start with full click analytics and QR codes. Pro is $5/mo for more namespaces, links, and Pro features like custom-logo QR codes and retargeting pixels.
Does URLyte check links for malware?
Yes. Every link is scanned against Google Safe Browsing, and malicious links are blocked — a layer of safety many simple shorteners don't include.
