ShortPen Reviews & Product Details

ShortPen is a link management platform designed for marketers, founders, and businesses that require complete control over their links and tracking, without technical barriers. With ShortPen, you can create short and branded URLs, generate QR codes, and track not just clicks but also key events and conversions tied to each link. This allows you to finally see what happens after someone clicks, whether it's a signup, a sale, or any other valuable action. Unlike many alternatives, ShortPen offers advanced tracking features even on its free plan. There are no forced ads, no aggressive upsells, and no limitations that break your existing workflows. You only upgrade when your needs grow, for example, if you need to track more conversions, invite more users, or access the API. ShortPen also makes organization easy: you can create multiple workspaces, use custom domains, create folders, and invite team members, perfect for agencies, small businesses, or anyone managing multiple projects. In short, it's simple, transparent, and built to help you focus on growth, not on fighting with tools.

"ShortPen Makes Branded, Trackable Links Easy"

5/5

What do you like best about ShortPen?

ShortPen is a very important tool for us. Most of the links we place in our product datasheets use ShortPen because we want to keep track of how many clicks are made and how many visitors are brought to our website. A permanent link can also be placed in locations where it’s hard to update later. The branded links is a very cool feature they make the links trustworthy for users. The tool is very easy to setup and integrate, the Suppot page answers most of the questions, as a brand owner we use shortpen links in all our datasheets and documentations.

What do you dislike about ShortPen?

Currently, I don’t have any issues or dislikes with Shortpen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShortPen solving and how is that benefiting you?

As we create datasheets for electronic products, even small updates or changes especially when links are involved often mean we have to release a newer version of the datasheet. With shortpen, we can use one permanent link and update anything on the other end, without needing to release new versions of the document for every update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShortPen?

Nothing, really. I can only think of good things to say and I have used a few URL-shortening services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful and elegant tool for link and QR code management"

5/5

What do you like best about ShortPen?

At Flike, we run marketing campaigns across digital and offline touchpoints, and ShortPen has become a key part of our workflow. We especially appreciate the ability to create branded, trackable links and QR codes that not only look professional but also provide valuable performance data.

For one of our wellness clients, we used ShortPen to distribute the same QR code via flyers, packaging, and WhatsApp. The insights we gained—knowing exactly where and when people were engaging—helped us optimize the campaign mid-way. The platform is clean, fast, and built with marketers in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShortPen?

ShortPen already covers most of our needs and the support team is responsive and open to feedback, which gives us confidence for future developments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShortPen solving and how is that benefiting you?

ShortPen solves a common but underestimated issue in marketing: the lack of clear, actionable data when sharing links and QR codes across multiple channels. Before using ShortPen, we often relied on generic tools that didn’t tell us much beyond basic click counts. Now, we can precisely track where engagement is coming from, compare performance across touchpoints, and make real-time decisions to improve our campaigns.

It has also improved our workflow as an agency—allowing us to centralize and brand our links and QR codes in a way that reflects our professional identity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
