Where the real differences show up
Data you can report with confidence
Cuttly counts every hit including automated bots and crawlers. Truthylink strips bot traffic before it reaches your dashboard — so when you report "500 clicks" to a client, those are 500 real people.
Destination health alerts
Cuttly doesn't monitor where your links point after creation. Truthylink checks every destination daily — and alerts you by email if a link goes 404, the SSL expires, or the destination goes offline.
Safety scanning before every redirect
Cuttly shortens and redirects without checking the destination. Truthylink scans every URL against Google Safe Browsing at creation time and shows visitors a verified safety badge before they arrive.
Rupee pricing — no FX fees
Cuttly charges in USD. For Indian businesses that means paying international card fees and dealing with exchange rate fluctuations every billing cycle. Truthylink is priced in INR from day one.
