TinyURL Reviews & Product Details

TinyURL is a URL shortening and link management software that allows individuals and organizations to create short, easy-to-share links and manage how those links are used over time. It is commonly used by marketing teams, product teams, developers and operations teams that need reliable, long-lasting links for digital and offline distribution. At its core, TinyURL converts long web addresses into shorter URLs that are easier to share across channels such as email, SMS, social media, print materials, QR codes and internal tools. Unlike many basic URL shorteners, TinyURL links are permanent by default, meaning they do not expire unless the user chooses to change or disable them. This makes the platform suitable for long-term campaigns, documentation and public-facing resources. TinyURL also functions as a link management platform, offering tools that help users organize, control and analyze their links. Users can create custom aliases, group links with tags, update destination URLs, set expiration rules and generate QR codes tied to their short links. For tracking and measurement, TinyURL provides link analytics, including click counts, referrers, geographic data, devices and traffic trends over time. For teams and high-volume use cases, TinyURL supports bulk link creation and API access, allowing links to be generated and managed programmatically. This is useful for workflows such as SMS messaging, marketing campaigns, product notifications and automated systems that require large numbers of short links. TinyURL also supports branded domains, enabling businesses to use their own custom domains instead of a shared shortening domain. This helps improve brand recognition and trust when links are shared externally. Founded in 2002, TinyURL is one of the oldest and longest-running URL shortening services and is used globally by individuals, small businesses and enterprise organizations that need a simple, reliable, and scalable solution for link shortening and link management.

"No disappointing surprises"

4.5/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

I am satisfied with the simple interface; it might look outdated, but it does the basic job, compared to sophisticated, overwhelming platforms. I am also grateful for the editor to keep the solution affordable and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

I wish there were a few extra features offered for free, even at a weekly or monthly limit, that would better convince me to upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From my experience with different URL shorteners, this one is definitely reliable; you don't worry about downtime when you need to create a tinyURL or, more critically yet, share your past ones with a collaborator or a prospect. It is also reliable in terms of affordability: No surprise announcements of limitations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Horrible Billing Practices & Zero Customer Service"

0/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

The ability to shorten URL's and track how many clicks it has are the only real features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

Their billing practices reflect how they actually feel about their customers. For over a year, I have paid monthly at $12.99/month. Recently my credit card expired, and I updated it. When I updated it, TinyURL charged me for an entire YEAR at once at $119.88 instead of $12.99. At first, it wasn't a huge deal; I figured they would correct it and refund the additional 11 months. NOPE! Not even close. First, there is NO NUMBER to reach them. The number listed on my credit card for this transaction is a Google Voice number that is no longer in service. Google Voice??? Really. That's the same service the scammers trying to sell me a warranty on a car I sold 12 years ago use. So it forces you to go into your TinyURL account and submit a ticket. I submitted the ticket over two months ago. TWO MONTHS AGO! I have responded to that ticket three times, but they have never responded. NOT ONCE.

You can get an accurate idea of how good or bad a company is the moment there is an issue that needs resolution. If you use these clowns, pray nothing ever goes wrong that affects your business because they will completely ignore you.

Also, when you need to add your domain to your account, it doesn't work as seamlessly as they lead you to believe it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good way to make your url's shorter"

4/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

TinyURL is very easy to use, and it provides a user-friendly website. You can easily insert a long url, and it will come back with a short one. It also allows you to create your own alias instead of the generic ones they generate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

At some point, they were updating the website, and there were a lot of errors when using the shorting option. They also didn't have the option to track link history. I used the free version, and there was no free option to create branded links, which another free tool allows me to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

There's really noting not helpful about tinyurl. But of course there are downsidi, one of it is that scammers can easily mask links to drive traffic to their sites.
