Shortening links is easy.
Trusting them after they're shared isn't.
Once a link leaves your hands, most tools stop caring. Truthylink keeps watching — flagging unsafe destinations, catching broken pages, and filtering bots before they wreck your data.

driving your clicks
Every other tool counts bots, security scanners, and email prefetch requests as real clicks. Truthylink filters them before they touch your dashboard.

Generic short link
People don't know where this goes. Trust drops. Clicks drop.
Your branded link
People know exactly where they're going. Trust builds. Clicks follow.
on branded links
on all links
Links that carry
your brand's name.
Random characters tell your audience nothing. A branded slug — /summer-sale instead of /3xK9mQp — builds trust before a single click.
Available on every plan, including Free. Get two auto-suggested alternatives if your slug is taken.

Links that retire
on your schedule.
Promotional links should expire. Sensitive documents need passwords. Campaign links should stop after a set number of clicks. All of this is one toggle away.

Three features you won't find
anywhere else.
Every competitor audited. None of them ship these. They're live in Truthylink today, on every plan.
Link Safety Scanner
FreeEvery link is scanned against Google Safe Browsing the moment it's created. Visitors see a verified-safe badge or a warning before they arrive. No other shortener does this on every plan.
- Real-time scan on create & update
- Verified safe / Caution / Dangerous badge
- Visitor interstitial with safety status
Destination Health
Pro+We silently ping every destination URL daily. The moment your link goes 404, SSL expires, or load time spikes — you get alerted. Not when a customer complains. Before.
- Daily health checks on all active links
- Alert on 404, SSL expiry, slow response
- Red indicator on affected links in dashboard
Click Fraud Detection
FreeMost fraud tools like ClickCease exclude a bad IP after a delay — then help you file a refund for budget already spent. Truthylink checks every click the moment it happens, before it's ever counted as real.
- VPN, proxy & Tor exit node detection
- Repeat-click & burst-click pattern flagging
- Flagged at click-time, not after a 24-hour delay
- Fraud rate % visible per link
Built for teams who care
about honest numbers.
Email marketers
Email security scanners click your links before your subscribers do. Every other tool counts those as real opens. We don't.
Social media teams
One branded link per campaign. Per-platform analytics. QR codes for offline. All in one dashboard — not five different tools.
Marketing agencies
Manage links across client campaigns. Password-protect client previews. Set expiry on time-limited offers without touching the destination.
Paid ads & PPC runners
Click farms and proxy traffic quietly drain ad budgets. Tools like ClickCease need up to 24 hours to exclude a bad IP — Truthylink flags repeat-click and burst patterns at click-time, before it's ever counted as a real click.
The same link tool, six different jobs.
A short link on a delivery SMS needs something different from one on a product box or an event poster. Here's how Truthylink handles each.
Order Confirmation & Delivery Links
Trackable SMS/WhatsApp links for order confirmations, delivery updates, and shipment tracking.
QR Codes for Print & Packaging
Bridge packaging, flyers, and in-store signage to a page you control, with scan analytics.
Digital Advertising Campaign Links
Bot-filtered click data and UTM tracking so ad spend decisions are based on real humans.
Survey & Feedback Links
Time-limited, capped links for feedback forms and NPS surveys that close themselves.
Event & Ticketing Links
Capacity-capped registration links and QR badges for events with a hard attendee limit.
Internal & Team Resource Links
Password-protected, approval-gated links for sharing internal resources safely.
Start free, scale when ready.
