Part of: The 301.Pro Alternative to Bitly

An Ad-Free Alternative to Bitly

Bitly now shows an interstitial ad/preview page before free-plan links reach their destination — a commercial break between your audience’s click and your content. If that’s not the experience you want to put your brand behind, 301.Pro is a clean alternative: a proper 301 redirect, no interstitials, plus the routing and analytics a plain shortener doesn’t give you.

This isn’t just a shortener swap — 301.Pro is a routing platform. Every link can route by location, time, or device, carry a dynamic QR code, and report bot-filtered analytics instead of a raw click counter.

What You Get When You Switch

  • Ad-free links — a direct 301 redirect, no interstitial pages between click and destination
  • A rules engine — route one link by location, time of day, date, or device
  • Dynamic QR codes — included with your links, editable after they’re printed
  • Real analytics — bot-filtered click data, geography, device, and timing — not just a counter

The quiet part of leaving any shortener is your historical links. 301.Pro’s migration path is built around not breaking them:

  • Branded-domain import: if you have a Bitly CSV export, we can import your branded-domain links (up to 20,000 of your most recent), so they keep working after you point your branded domain’s DNS at 301.Pro.
  • Important: only branded-domain links can be migrated. Generic bit.ly links live on Bitly’s domain and can’t be moved off it — that’s the lock-in worth escaping going forward.

What It Costs

301.Pro has no free production tier — the $0 Demo account (10-link limit, “Not For Production”) is there to try the platform and see the routing, QR, and analytics for yourself. Paid plans start at $149/month and include unlimited links, unlimited QR codes, the rules engine, and bot-filtered analytics as standard — not gated add-ons.

Make the Switch

Don’t settle for ad-supported links. Move your branded links to a platform that treats every click as a routing decision, not an ad impression.
