Why People Switch from TinyURL
You can't measure what TinyURL doesn't track
On the free plan, TinyURL creates a short link and sends users to the destination, with no click data. You have no idea how many people clicked, where they were, what device they used, or whether the link was ever clicked at all. URLyte tracks every click automatically.
Random strings aren't memorable or trustworthy
A TinyURL link looks like tinyurl.com/y6h8k2pm, random, unbranded, and untrustworthy. URLyte gives you urlyte.com/yourbrand/link, something that communicates who created it and where it goes.
No organisation means no system
If you create more than a handful of links, TinyURL becomes chaos. URLyte's namespace system lets you group all links for a brand, campaign, or client under a single prefix and compare them side by side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does TinyURL have click analytics?
Not on the free plan: free TinyURL links show no click data, and you cannot edit them after you create them. TinyURL Pro (from $9/month billed yearly) adds analytics and editing. URLyte tracks every click on the free plan, with countries, devices and sources.
Is URLyte's analytics free?
Yes. Full click analytics, including geographic distribution, device breakdown, and click-over-time charts, are included on URLyte's free plan. No upgrade required.
Can I create branded links with URLyte?
Yes. URLyte's namespace system gives you branded links like urlyte.com/yourbrand/link. TinyURL generates random strings like tinyurl.com/y6h8k2pm that don't communicate your brand.
How do I organise links in URLyte?
Create a namespace (e.g., urlyte.com/mybrand/) and add shortcodes under it. You can create multiple namespaces for different brands, campaigns, or clients, and compare analytics across all links in a namespace side by side.
