One link for
everything you share.
Short links, hosted pages, files, and pastes — each with custom slugs, geo gates, paywalls, QR codes, and real analytics. The control layer on top of everything you share.
Free forever for 50 links. Creator plan is $9 once a year. No credit-card upsell.
From URL to insight in three steps.
Create
Shorten a link, host a page or file, or share a paste — one consistent flow for all four.
Control
Add a custom slug, password, expiry, geo rules, a paywall, or branded OG — per item, before or after publishing.
Share & track
Hand out the link or its QR code, then watch clicks, geo, devices, and referrers in real time.
Everything you can publish.
One account, one dashboard, one consistent set of controls — across four kinds of shareable thing.
Short links
Redirect a branded slug to any URL. Sub-50ms, fully tracked.
Hosted pages
Publish a self-contained HTML page live at its own URL — sandboxed and virus-scanned.
Files
Share a PDF, image, or document at a permanent, branded link.
Pastes
Drop Markdown or HTML at a clean, readable URL — perfect for notes, prompts, and AI output.
What no other shortener does cleanly.
Bitly is generic. Linktree is a bio page. Linkvertise is an ad-wall. alterlink is the layer of control on top of every link.
Custom slugs
nandbyte/launch — not bit.ly/3a9X2. Branded paths that survive the share-and-paste.
OG metadata override
Preview cards that match your brand. Title, description, image — controlled per link, not inherited.
Geo-blocking
Region-aware routing without a CDN config. Allowlist countries, blocklist countries, or send blocked visitors elsewhere.
Paywall gating
Charge $1–$500 to unlock a link. No Linkvertise nonsense, no ad-walls. Real Stripe, real money, your link.
Instant hosting
Upload an HTML page or a file (PDF, image, doc) and get a live branded URL in seconds. Sandboxed on an isolated origin and virus-scanned before it ships.
QR codes
Every link, page, file, and paste gets a downloadable QR with custom colors — no third-party generator.
Analytics that matter
Clicks plus geo, device, and referrer breakdowns, a real-time view, and CSV export. IPs hashed, never sold.
Built for developers.
A clean REST API and signed webhooks. Create links, read analytics, and react to events from your own stack — no scraping, no brittle automations.
- REST API v1 with scoped keys (alnk_live_sk_…)
- HMAC-signed webhooks with automatic retries
- OpenAPI spec and interactive docs
A different kind of shortener.
They raised prices in 2025 without shipping the features that justify the increase. We ship features instead.
Linktree is a profile page that aggregates links. We are the link itself — fast redirect, full control, real analytics.
Dub does great attribution for B2B. We do paywall on the link — what creators actually need to monetize a single asset.
Safe for you, and your visitors.
Safety-scanned
Every destination, hosted page, file, and paste is checked for malware and phishing before it can be served.
Isolated and sandboxed
Hosted content runs on a separate cookieless origin in a sandboxed frame — it can never touch your account or other users.
Private by default
Visitor IPs are hashed with a daily-rotating salt. We never sell or share analytics data.
Trusted by creators, marketers, and indie developers shipping links that need to do more.
Pricing that stays put.
One price for the whole platform — links, pages, files, and pastes. Annual, no surprise jumps, no per-seat fishing expeditions.
