Where the real differences show up
Actually free — no $5 fee
T2M requires a $5 "verification fee" before you can use their free plan. Truthylink requires nothing — sign up with an email address and start shortening links immediately. No credit card, no payment, no gotcha.
Bot-filtered analytics
T2M tracks all traffic including bots. Truthylink filters automated requests before they reach your dashboard — giving you click counts that reflect real human engagement, not crawler noise.
Link safety scanning
T2M has no destination URL scanning. Truthylink checks every link against Google Safe Browsing before it goes live and shows a "Verified Safe" badge to visitors on the redirect page — building trust with every click.
INR pricing — no conversion fees
T2M bills in USD. Truthylink bills in INR — no international card charges, no exchange rate risk, and GST handled correctly for Indian businesses from the start.
