Every short link comes with private click analytics and no account required. You get a Customer Secret Key on your first link — that's the only thing you need to access stats for all your links forever. No cookies, no ads, no interstitial pages. Clean 301 redirects averaging ~15ms.

Bitly paywalls analytics and shows ads. TinyURL has no analytics at all. Rebrandly requires signup. a777.lt gives you full per-link stats — clicks, unique visitors, countries, referrers, bot detection — completely free with no account. The paid plan (€5.99/yr) is a fraction of what competitors charge for the same features.
