TinyURL is great for a quick, throwaway short link with no signup. If you never need analytics, branding or bot protection it does the job — but it offers only minimal analytics and no click-fraud filtering.
The difference between URL BOT and TinyURL is what happens before the redirect. Every visit to a URL BOT link is scored, and requests that cross your threshold are blocked and logged; genuine visitors are redirected in milliseconds. Because filtering happens before analytics are recorded, your click counts reflect real people from the start.
Bot Shield removes automated traffic before it is counted, so a noisy raw click number becomes a verified-human number you can trust.
The same protected links serve the whole workflow — from the first share to the report.
Create a branded short link for every offer, post or ad. Bot Shield protects it automatically — on every plan, including Free.
Real-time analytics break clicks down by referrer, device and geography, with bots removed before anything is counted.
Use the built-in UTM builder so each channel, post and creative is tagged — then see which placement drove verified clicks.
Bulk-import existing links by CSV, brand them on your own domain, and generate a QR code for any link for free.
