"I love Bitly because they help me save time AND money."
What do you like best about Bitly?

I have a lot of good things to say about Bitly. I appreciate the way that I save time and stay organized through the link creator and QR codes creator. I use that every day, and it's super easy to implement into my daily routine. I also appreciate being able to delete the links that I create using Bitly, because the link is remotely deleted as well, which helps me keep my clients from stealing my product. I work hard and I have already seen a difference in my customer base not running away with my creations. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

I have nothing bad to say about Bitly, honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, Easy to See Impact"
What do you like best about Bitly?

Bitly is an extremely intuitive tool that allows our team to quickly measure traffic to different links and resources. It takes barely a minute to create a shortened URL - which always looks much neater & cleaner in our copy! It is easy for more junior members of our team to understand the a campaigns success without needing additional tools that might be more complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

None! We are overall extremely satisfied with Bitly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for tracking UTMs and creating QR codes"
What do you like best about Bitly?

Easy to use with a nice interface that makes creating the shortened links a great experience. Everything is centralised, QR codes, event landing pages, and UTMs. Great tracking metrics. I use it daily for my social media and event activities. It is very easy to implement in a few minutes you have your account ready to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

It is a bit on the pricier side and the limit of links/month could be an issue if you are creating a lot of content. I would like to have more seats for my team so everyone could use it with their own account. That way we could also know who created each link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bitly is a very useful, simple and easy to use URL shortening tool. It's quick and efficient in converting long links into small and precise links for various campaign purposes.

There is scope for improvement on the analytics section user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bitly provides metric information"
What do you like best about Bitly?

The ease of implementation and operation of Bit.ly allowed us to use QR codes to analyze content access metrics, and thus provide feedback to the sales team. We use bit.ly every day to see the number of accesses, perform lead capture conversions, and because it generates links, it allowed ease of integration and identification of access flows for specific parts of our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

The analytics features are very limited (covering a period of only 1 month) and to extend the period, we have to subscribe to a much more expensive plan, with many more features, which are often barely used, depending on the reality of the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive & Easy UI, Valuable Insight Into Marketing Conversions"
What do you like best about Bitly?

I desperately wanted a way to show how our digital and print campaigns were converting. With mailers, it's nearly impossible to see how your expensive mailing led people to take the desired call to action. Using bitly links and QR codes, we can prove this with tracked clicks and conversions. This leads us to change our strategies of how to reach donors and test content and conversion options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

There are a few features I haven't seen enough value in pursuing like landing page creation, while others are stuck behind an even more expensive pay wall. I don't have many issues with Bitly, I'd just like to see us be able to better act on the data and consistently increase in our conversons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, and scalable for any size of business"
What do you like best about Bitly?

I love the ability to create cleaner URLs and QR codes for marketing my books, especially since I can customize the backend of the URLs I generate. The ability to get some tracking data to know where users are coming from also helps me focus which social media platform to focus my time and energy on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

I would like to have more detailed analytics within a more reasonable price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tracking and Improved Ease of Access"
What do you like best about Bitly?

Bitly has made tracking internal and external audience behavior a breeze. The landing pages have made language access more manageable for our small nonprofit without requiring huge multi-language and multiple versions of signs. Adding our logo to QR codes and custom themes to landing pages was easy to implement. It is user-friendly, efficiently works with our other tools, and is excellent for everyday use. Overall, the tool adds a lot to our communications and marketing toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

The price point could be a bit better or include more functions. I would love it if the landing pages were even more customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
