Shorten your first link for free

Shorten for free

Free, no credit card. Your short link is live right after signing up, on shlk.one or your custom domain.

More than shortening. A tool that thinks ahead.

Branding, tracking and protection in every link, without fiddling and without five different tools.

Your custom domain

Short links under your brand instead of a generic third-party domain. Trust gets clicked more.

ShortBoost analytics view: click history, top countries and device distribution of a short link

Click analytics

Country, device, referrer and UTM per click, privacy-compliant and anonymized.

A/B split testing

One link, several destinations, distributed by weight. Let the numbers pick the winner.

QR codes

A QR code automatically for every link. Print, flyers, trade fairs, one scan to the destination.

Password protection

Links only for insiders. First the password, then the redirect.

Limit & expiry

Click limit or expiry date per link. Perfect for launches and promotions.

UTM templates

Reusable UTM sets. Clean campaign tracking without typos.

ShortBoost dashboard: create short links, manage them and follow clicks per link

Link health

Broken destination URLs are detected automatically. You find out before your customers do.

Four features that make your campaigns better.

Branded short links

Your brand. Not some service's.

Connect your custom domain and all short links run under your name, for example go.yourbrand.com/start. That looks professional, protects against spam filters and strengthens every campaign.

Up to 20 of your custom domains, automatically secured with SSL via Let's Encrypt
Custom slugs instead of cryptic characters, for example /webinar instead of /x7Qz
As long as you don't have a domain yet, everything runs on shlk.one

Domain verified in minutes

Click analytics

Every click tells you something.

See in real time who clicks when and from where: country, city, device, referrer and UTM. That way you know which channel sells and which one only eats clicks, without any cookie-banner drama.

Geo, device and referrer from every click, IP stored as a hash
UTM analysis per campaign, channel and content
History per link, project or across the whole account

Privacy-compliant, without tracking cookies

A/B split testing

One link. Several destinations. The winner wins.

Send the same short link, weighted, to several landing pages or offers. ShortBoost distributes the visitors automatically and shows you which variant is ahead. No more guessing.

Several variants per link with freely selectable weighting
Live statistics per variant, right in the dashboard
Ideal for offers, headlines and landing page tests

Distribution on the server, without flicker

Protection & QR codes

You decide who may click and for how long.

Protect links with a password, set a click limit or an expiry date, perfect for launches, early-bird promotions and exclusive content. And for every link you instantly get a QR code for the offline world.

Password, click limit and expiry date freely combinable
QR code per link, ready to download for print
Expired links show a clean notice page instead of an error

QR automatically for every link

No onboarding marathon. Paste the URL, done, track.

Why not just use a free shortener?

Frequently asked questions

Can I try ShortBoost for free?

Yes. The Free plan is permanently free (10 active short links on shlk.one). No credit card needed. You can upgrade to Pro or Lifetime at any time.

Can I use a custom domain?

Yes, on the Pro and Lifetime plans. You add a domain or subdomain (for example go.yourbrand.com), set a DNS record and ShortBoost automatically obtains an SSL certificate. After that all short links run under your brand.

What data do the click statistics collect?

Per click: country and city (from the IP, which is stored only as a hash), device type, referrer and UTM parameters. No tracking cookies are set. The analysis is GDPR-compliant. The full analysis is available on the Pro and Lifetime plans. On the Free plan, the basic click counter shows clicks per day and per link.

What is the difference between Pro and Lifetime?

Functionally identical. With Pro you pay 99 € yearly (plus VAT). With Lifetime you pay 297 € once (plus VAT) and have access for as long as ShortBoost exists, at least 5 years from purchase, with no further costs. After three years Lifetime has paid for itself, from the fourth year on Lifetime is cheaper than the yearly subscription, and you take all future features with you.

Are prices net or gross?

All prices are net, plus statutory VAT (currently 20 % Austrian VAT, also when buying from another country); businesses from other EU countries with a valid VAT ID receive a net invoice (reverse charge); you see the final price before ordering.

What happens to my links if I cancel?

Your Pro year runs until the end of the paid period. After that your account switches to the Free plan: the 10 most recently created active short links on shlk.one keep running. All other links, your custom domains and the links on them are paused. Nothing is deleted. With a new upgrade the paused links and domains run again immediately.

What happens if a payment fails?

We try the payment again, and your Pro plan keeps running in the meantime, for up to 7 days. Before it expires you get a reminder by email. If the payment doesn't go through, your account switches to the Free plan, and your links are paused as after a cancellation, not deleted.

Short links that sell.
