Linkly (linklyhq.com) is a capable link-tracking and redirect tool aimed at performance marketers. But it has two gaps that send people looking for an alternative: its free plan caps you at 500 clicks per month (a successful campaign blows through that fast), and it has no link-in-bio product at all. If you want tracking and a bio page without overpaying, lynkily is the natural switch.
Where Linkly falls short
- 500-click free cap — your links can stop counting mid-campaign.
- No link-in-bio — you'd need a second tool for your social bio.
- Metered add-ons — extra clicks, links, domains and seats all cost more.
- Pro tier ~$32/month is the practical plan for most users.
Why lynkily is a better-value alternative
lynkily does short links, QR codes, UTM campaigns, analytics, and link-in-bio in one place, starting at $5/month.
