## Bitly Reviews
  ### 1. Bitly is the Bitbest

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Ease, options, functionality, dependability, tracking... bitly is the best. We originally started using it just to organize our shortened URLS for social media and marketing initiatives, but it has since expanded to much more of a useful tool across our entire Marketing program. Thumbs up.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

If I had to nitpick, I guess the price is a bit steep. There are other alternatives out there, like tinyurl or rebrandly, that I assume have similar or comparable functionality, but I believe at a lower price point (if not free).

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bitly is a solid organizational hub for social media and content marketing. We use it to generate, track, and organize the links for our outgoing marketing content.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi User in Marketing and Advertising, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for URL shortening for Marketing initiatives and Social Media.

  ### 2. Bitly gets the job done, and then some

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

I like Bitly's QR code functionality. Our team frequently uses it for tracking landing page engagements.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

I wish the mediums, campaigns, and sources were a bit easier to navigate, especially when trying to associate new QR codes with older campaigns.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

Nothing to add here

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking and scanning was an area we wanted to address. The benefits have been that we can receive more engagement on graphics, while tracking which QR codes work best.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for QR codes, the UTM builder, and analytics.

  ### 3. Great tool for link shortening

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jiya S. | Digital Marketing Executive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

1. Bitly is easy to use, efficient, and reliable tool for link shortening.
2. We can easily track the clicks and other details directly from its dashboard.
3. We can change the shorten link path in its free version too, which other software doesn't offer.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

1. According to my opinion, its pricing is a little bit high.
2. Bitly should allow grouping features in other paid versions like enterprise edition.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

If you are looking for a reliable shorten link provider, give it a try for sure. You can also change the back half path of the shortened link in the free version too.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Bitly for creating short links for various campaigns via email and SMS's. It makes the content easy to read and also helps to save data length, especially in SMS.

  ### 4. Get Manageable Shorten URL from Bitly

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Muhammad Waqar A. | Business Sales Executive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Extremely helpful for shortening URLs, which helps corporate brands and surveys easier. To create a link within seconds and personalize and share to desire platforms. Easy accessible and free accounts are much enough for personal purposes.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Found very convenient comparatively other its competitors. There is nothing to say any dislike in Bitly. It could be more valuable for free use by increasing the number of link generation.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It customizes long URLs shorter with a minimum interval of time for surveys and product marketing purposes. It always looks pretty beneficial after the generation of shortened links.

  ### 5. Perfect for Personal and Professional Use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mel S. | Customer Marketing Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

I love how easy it is to apply a vanity domain to my URLs.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

There honestly isn't anything I dislike about Bitly!

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Bitly at my place of employment and for personal projects. It's extremely easy to shorten links using the Chrome browser extension or by logging directly into Bitly.com. UTMs are essential in marketing, but it just isn't sleek and sexy to see long URLs. Bitly allows me to use a vanity domain to attach my own branding and still track data. You can also create custom links using the paid version.

  ### 6. We love using Bitly in our PR agency!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Donna H. | Miss Donna Hill, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

I love the speed with which you can create a shortened link for use in social media and email marketing campaigns. I particularly like being able to customize the link to create a memorable name, which, if you used frequently, will enable customers to remember and use without having to refer to a website or social media to find it.  I also like the fact that it is so easy to search for links you have already created.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

I can't honestly say that there is anything I dislike about Bitly.  My company has used other competing websites in the past, but none are as quick and easy to use as Bitly. We've used it for many years across a wide range of sectors.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving the problems of having lengthy website links on our press releases, social media, and email marketing campaigns, which customers may have to type into their browsers. The creation of instantly memorable links improves the service our clients provide to their customers by creating instantly memorable links that they can retain for every time they use their services. A short, personalized link has resulted in our clients noticing increased retentions rates amongst their customers, who are able to access their products and services quicker and more efficiently.

  ### 7. Most well known, easiest to get started link shortner

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aaron D. | Ecommerce Trainer, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Super easy to get started, no account needed to shorten links. The free account has plenty of features. Paid version will give a lot of extra feature to further enhance your business.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Can't modify links on the free plan. Once a link is created, that's it. If you want to change anything, you have to create a new link. But it's not a huge negative for someone just getting started with link shorteners.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Shorten long ugly links. Track how many clicks I get. It's very beneficial because most people know bit.ly so when they see that link, they know it's not some scammer link.

  ### 8. Bitly is a required tool for my business

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniela T. | Equity Owner, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Easier of use and customization. We automate some link creation too.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Not much. We should use the provided reimporting and analytics more than we currently do.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking marketing campaigns across all channels.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi Daniela T, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for link customization and analytics.

  ### 9. Love Bitly

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Billy Jack G. | I, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Makes it simple to share complex URLs. :-)

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

There is absolutely no downside to Bitly.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

Definitely worth trying out Bitly.
It will make your life easier sharing URLs.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No issues with Bitly.

  ### 10. Branded links w. tracking

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oliver  L. | B2B Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

It was super simple to set our custom domain up and since then it was very seamless experience as everything just worked.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Nothing we'd dislike, maybe an option to brand our links on HubSpot when we share them as sometimes the random characters in URLs are offputting - but this is probably more for HubSpot than Bitly

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Branded links help us increase engagement on social media and track it better.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi Oliver, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for a custom domain, branded links, and analytics.

  ### 11. The best platform to shorten URL's

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrea C. | Marketing coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

I love that you don't have to own an account or pay for the platform itself. The free version works exceptionally well for what I need Bitly to do for me, and it's incredibly user-friendly and manageable from a team aspect. I realize that Bitly has a content analytics aspect that I haven't checked out as thoroughly, but I am looking forward to continuing my experience with Bitly.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

I don't think there's anything I dislike! I really love the whole idea of Bitly and what it has brought to both my business and personal lives. I think Bitly is headed in the right direction in terms of link shortening, link tracking, and content analytics in general.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

I recommend even attempting to use the free version! It takes the idea of a link shortener to a new level, and I also absolutely appreciate the way that it stores your past links, so you don't have to worry about remembering the bitly link when creating and posting new content to your social media, personal, and business endeavors. When considering getting the paid version, i suggest doing a triial of iit to ensure you really love the platform.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Whenever I post links on different platforms, it ALWAYS bothered me how distracting and annoying a longer URL is. There's so much going on in our lives anyway, we're constantly bombarded with information and ads, so Bitly's link shortener makes life just a little bit easier. I love that is has link tracking features as well!

  ### 12. Affordable and user-friendly option

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Bitly is a consistent, reliable, and easy-to-use link shortener. It's free level is not too shabby and most of the folks I work with rarely need to upgrade their membership. That being said, the first few upgrade levels are affordable. The platform itself is easy to navigate and extremely fast to use. I shorten a lot of links on my phone due to the nature of my job and it's extremely manageable.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

The organization and grouping system leaves a bit to be desired. I'm paid user and even with the higher level the organization options aren't very robust. With how many links we're shortening, it would be nice to be able to customize how we group everything together.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bitly gives us another data point to measure our content's performance. The platforms we share to and the analytics on our sites don't always align so Bitly's third data point gives helps us get a better sense of what's going on. It's always nice to tighten up long, tracked URLs before sharing them anywhere!

  ### 13. Great experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Travis C. | Recruitment Sourcing Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Easy to use and very insightful. Best of it's kind.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Nothing. Bitly is the best link shortener on the market.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am managing my links with bitly and using their analytics tool.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi Travis, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for URL shortening and analytics.

  ### 14. Works As Expected

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

We recently upgraded to a paid subscription, and it has been worth the investment. I really like having our own branded domain.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

I would like to be able to create redirects without having a monthly cap, and would also like to create additional custom utm parameters.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We primarily use Bitly to create links for our YouTube channel. It's very helpful to have those in one centralized location

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi User in Computer Software, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for a custom domain and URL shortening.

  ### 15. Easy to use and a great product

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

It's super user friendly and feels like an old faithful of linking resources. I found it was really easy to create a custimizable link and it connects with GA super easily and well! Would recommend

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Some of the more technical things were a channel i.e. connecting with a pixel and things like that. Would be great to have live help with that or somone doing it for you.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

Give it a try. It's super easy and you have nothing loose

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Link in bio solution for IG and TT. It's how we track our revenue for these platforms and is really helpful.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi Administrator in Consumer Goods, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for link in bio, URL shortening, and link customization.

  ### 16. As  A field Marketing Associate Bitly is so useful for collaborations and digital marketing projects

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Samantha D. | Marketing Associate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

There is not anything I dislike about the platform

  ### 17. Free Version is Good

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Briana P. | Digital Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

I like that it is free to utilize the URL shortener and track the data it provides. The dashboard is easy to navigate.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

The only thing is having to pay for QR codes, but it seems like it would be worth it to organize all QR codes used, especially for agencies.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I haven't had any problems. If a website link is updated, you must create a new Bitly link, but that would be expected with new links. The benefit is being able to track all the shortened URLs and see where the traffic is being driven from using this particular link.

  ### 18. Bitly: The Classic Link Shortener

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Bitly is super easy to set up, a no-nonsense link shortening service that came as a blessing for digital marketers like me. Besides shortening and customizing URLs as per choice,  it also provides additional features like tracking the number of clicks a shortened link generates. Bitly offers a free version with basic features, which is a plus! I was using the free version for a long time before switching to a paid version.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

The paid versions are a bit more expensive. The price of the PRO versions could have been lowered. Other than that Bitly is a solid link shortener that has been in the scene for quite some time. Another thing that I do not like about Bitly is that it does not show campaign/link clicks' results further back than three months.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

Bitly is the best in the class of link shortening services right now. It offers all the important features that a link shortener should offer. You can certainly give this a try.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Primarily I use Bitly to shorten the long URLs to further share them on social media. Shortened URLs steal the attention of the potential target audience and are easy to manage. When I switched over from long URLs to shortened URLs, I saw a change of 15% increase in CTR.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hello User in Real Estate, thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for link shortening, link customizations, and analytics.

  ### 19. Able to completely customize every we need

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael S. | Ceo, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

The customization and access to other apps

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Organization wise is a bit all over the place and making it clear on the dashboard is a bit hard

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Custom referal links

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

> Hi Michael S., thank you for your positive feedback of Bitly. We are glad you are using Bitly for link customizations and integrations.

  ### 20. Super Easy to Use URL Shortener

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessi N. | Director of Marketing & Business Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Bitly is a super simple and easy to use URL shortener that provides basic insights and analytics as well.  It also allows you to customize your URLs to your campaign or company name. It also provides additional insights to link analytics which is very helpful.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Overall Bitly meets or exceeds all of my expectations and does everything I need it to do and everything I would expect out of a free URL shortening tool.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

Bitly is super user-friendly and easy to use. I would highly recommend using this for shortening URLs and gaining valuable insight into your audience.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In addition to shortening URLs and making them more efficient for use on social media posts and on our website, the free analytics offer additional insight that is helpful for tracking our clicks and interaction with our audience.

  ### 21. Decent enough for the free account

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laura S. | Sales & Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

I like that there is minimal customisation for the shortURL + the ability to see insights like number of clicks, source of clicks (e.g. email, SMS, etc.), and location of clicks.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Not sure I'm a fan of the UI/UX. It feels awkward for me to use and navigate.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

If you need a URL shortener, this is a pretty simple one to use that replaces goo.gl after it got discontinued. It's a slight upgrade from goo.gl as it has some bells & whistles like analytics and domain customisation if you get a paid upgrade.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps me to shorten URLs since goo.gl got discontinued.

  ### 22. Easy link shortener, trackable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mike Y. | D, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Quick link shortener, and ability to track clicks to destination.  Easy to use data for A/B test on which links get more clicks and are relevant for more ad spend.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

It is a well-known platform, and this may be speculation, but I feel more people that know the bit.ly name are less likely to click.  Some circles have shown nefarious users primarily use bit.ly for financial gains.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bit.ly has always been an easy resource for link shortening and click tracking.  But know the market seems to have much more saturation where link shortening and link tracking is an added feature or vanity to many marketing platforms.

  ### 23. Easily shortens URLs for marketing purposes

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel R. | Marketing and Events Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

I like that this shortens the website links that I need to share with my audience. Social media posts have a limited number of characters allowed, and I don't want to use all of them on the URL. This makes it easier to read and more user friendly as a result.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

I do not dislike anything about this tool. One area of improvement is it would be great if you could select what the shortened URL will say; however that may be possible.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bitly solves the problem of having much too long URLs / website links to market to my target audience. The benefits are more users click the link as it is shorter and easier to interact with.

  ### 24. Get shortened your long URL within a few seconds

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arun P. | Customer Support Executive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Bitly URL shortener has almost zero downtime, so links always work. I like that they do not show unwanted ads to the visitors. I appreciate their full-featured dashboard; it offers many details in one place.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Their premium-prising plans are not that good. If someone wants to generate a custom domain-based shortened link, they might have to pay high pricing. Its user interface needs some upgrades too.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using Bitly to generate short links with ease. It helps us to reduce the content size of our marketing emails and messages. I found it beneficial to use for generating shortened URLs.

  ### 25. Great solution!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Quick and easy setup. Integrates with our other products.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Sometimes when editing links the redirections don't take effect and you have to try multiple times.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

I 100% recommend using Bitly.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a large organization that uses Bitly to shorten links sent out in our text message campaigns. Characters cost more money, so bitly helps keep them short.

**Official Response from Liliya Elogullari:**

  ### 26. Digital Engagement Manager

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2022

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Being able to quickly create many shortand links for our organization's CTAs.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

  ### 28. Easiest tool we have

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amanda M. | Marketing Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

bitly is incredibly simple. We've been using it for years, mostly free, and recently upgraded. When we rebranded back in 2018 I thought changing our branded link would be difficult, but the process couldn't have been easier.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

Nothing to complain about. We don't rely on bitly for tracking or use any of the provided analytics features, so I'm not sure if those could be improved or not.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Branded short links and link tracking. It's much more ideal to display a custom short link than a long "ugly" link on social media and in printed collateral at conferences.

  ### 29. Shorter links for social media posts, easy to update bitly link - no need to change it everywhere.

Great value in the free account, easy to use. Paid accounts can have unique domains - a plus for marketing.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

(1) Short, recognizable links for web and social media. (2) The ability to update a link on the bitly platform and have it update everywhere. (3) Affordable for businesses that don't need a large volume of links.

What I like the best about bitly is that you can customize your shortened links even further. That is what I liked the most. The analytics is also quite good. Loved it.

I wished they had link retargeting features. Many shorteners nowadays have it. Don't know why Bitly doesn't have.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I generally use bitly for affiliate links. That's the best usage for me. I can easily hide my ref parameters with those.

  ### 35. Great URL shortener with custom names

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gary H. | Public Information Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Bitly is easy to use, and most of the features are free. I only have a free account, and I love it. When you have long URLs (web links), you can create a bit.ly/xxxxxx short link to make it more user-friendly. To make sharing even easier, you can customize the link after bit.ly, i.e., bit.ly/coderedalexander (link to sign up for county alerts). If you prefer a www link, you can make it www.bitly.com/coderedalexander. Plus, you can see how many times people clicked on the link on the bit.ly website.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

There are some paid features, but honestly, I'm pleased with the free account.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bitly helps me share lengthy URLs with our citizens, which increases web traffic to our links. Plus, it's a very common URL shortener, so people trust it when they see the link.

  ### 36. No more ugly URLs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ben W. | Partnerships & Growth Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Bitly?**

Bitly is particularly effective for our team when integrating links into marketing collateral and user-facing content. It looks much cleaner than a lengthy URL.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

I do not like that you cannot integrate existing shortened links when creating an account. For those who have used Bitly before, you know that you do not need an account to shorten a link. Of course, there are restrictions to this process, so it makes sense to create a free account at the minimum. You cannot, however, transfer old links into your account for editing.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bitly allows us to clean up our messaging, particularly related to our integration of URLs in user-facing content. This allows our team to feel confident in the consistency of the content we publish.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Fancy branding for repetitive link sharing on social, one more channel of attribution to use against those who don't think my social media efforts are worth the money im paid for them.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

The link shortening option is beneficial in many ways, including the ease with which the link may be carried, the ability to track visits, and creating a personal link.

**What do you dislike about Bitly?**

The Software did not cause me any problems. It provided me with just what I required.URLs that are short. It is possible to use for free. Everyone has access to it.

**Recommendations to others considering Bitly:**

I can tell you that it's a beautiful piece of software that builds trust in the links you share on social media and works particularly well on Twitter because of the character restriction. The graphical interface is as straightforward as ever, allowing even the most inexperienced user to understand.

**What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When I post anything and include a link in the description, I use this service to shorten the URL. Bitly is an excellent tool for shortening, modifying, and monitoring links across many digital media platforms. The free version performs admirably.
