yorl.cc vs Bitly
A Bitly alternative priced for the Indian market
Bitly is the best-known link shortener in the world, and for a global enterprise it is a reasonable default. If you bill in rupees and mostly need branded links, QR codes and honest analytics, you are paying for a lot you will not use.
Free for 50 links — no card required.
