Most link tools make you climb a pricing ladder to unlock the features you actually need — analytics behind one tier, branded domains behind another, a link-in-bio page behind a third. lynkily doesn't work that way. Every paid plan includes every feature, starting at just $3/month. You only pay more for higher volume and a longer analytics history — never to unlock a capability.
This is the full pricing breakdown, plus an honest comparison with Bitly, Linkly, Rebrandly, TinyURL and Short.io.
lynkily pricing at a glance
| Plan | Price | Links / mo | Analytics history | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 | Totals only | Links, QR codes, link-in-bio |
| Starter | $3/mo ($36/yr) | 100 | 30 days | Everything included |
| Growth | $20/mo ($250/yr) | 500 | 4 months | Everything included |
| Premium | $100/mo ($2,000/yr) | 3,000 | 1 year | Everything included |
The Free plan already gives you 50 short links a month, dynamic QR codes and a link-in-bio page — no credit card, no ads on your links. Every paid plan then adds all of it: full click & scan analytics, the UTM campaign builder, designer QR codes, editable dynamic links, branded links with a custom domain, campaign tracking, mobile deep linking and AI. The only difference between Starter, Growth and Premium is how many links and QR codes you can create each month, how many link-in-bio pages you get, and how far back your analytics history goes.

| Tool | Cheapest paid plan | Free plan | Link-in-bio | Click analytics | Branded domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| lynkily | $3/mo | 50 links/mo, no ads | ✅ Included | ✅ From $3/mo | ✅ From $3/mo |

Why lynkily comes out cheaper
- No feature paywall. $3/mo unlocks the whole toolkit — analytics, branded domains, campaigns, deep linking, AI. Rivals gate these behind $15–$35/mo tiers.
- A genuinely useful free plan. 50 links a month is 10× Bitly's 5, with no ads on your links and no hard click cap like Linkly's 500/month.
- One tool instead of several. Links, QR codes, a link-in-bio page and analytics are bundled — so you're not paying for a separate bio-link app on top of a shortener.
- Honest scaling. Higher plans cost more only because you get more volume and longer history — not because a feature got locked away.
