Zap it ⚡Free forever plan · no card · links never expire
Your bio link opens a browser where nobody's logged in.
That's the in-app webview. It looks like a browser. It converts like a brick.
Login wall
Your “follow me” link asks them to sign in. Nobody signs in twice.
Blind pixel
Cookies are sandboxed — the click happens, your analytics never see it.

Zippy vs the others ⚡
Unlimited clicks. Never metered.
URLgenius bills $0.02 for every single click. Zippy doesn’t count — go viral, same price.
App-opening on the free plan.
Bitly locks mobile deep links behind Premium — $199/mo. Zippy opens the real app from $0.
Links never expire. And it’s open source.
Permanent slugs, plus a redirect engine you can self-host (AGPL). Nobody else here is OSS.
Fair questions.
›Do my links ever expire?
Never. Not on Free, not after a trial, not if you cancel. Once a Zippy link is out in the world, it keeps redirecting — forever. A link that dies in public is the one thing a shortener must never do, so we built the whole system around never doing it.
›What happens to my links if I downgrade or cancel?
They keep working, permanently. If you drop below the plan you made them on, older links past your new limit go "read-only" — they still redirect and keep their custom slug, you just can't edit them or see their analytics until you upgrade again. Nothing breaks for the people clicking.
›What does "unlimited" actually mean on Hero?
Unlimited links and unlimited clicks. We don't meter your traffic or charge you more when a link goes viral. Success shouldn't come with a bigger bill.
›Which apps does Zippy open?
LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp, Reddit, Product Hunt, YouTube, TikTok, and X — with more added as we go. Zippy detects the platform and springs the real app instead of the crippled in-app webview.
›Do I need a credit card to try it?
Nope. Signup starts a 14-day Hero trial with zero card required. When it ends you slide down to Free automatically — no lockout, no surprise charge, and every link you made stays live.
›Can I bring my own domain?
On Legend, yes — one custom domain so your short links wear your brand. Hero and Sidekick use zipthe.link.
›Is there really a free plan forever?
Yes. Five active links, real app-opening, forever, no card. It's a genuine tier, not a countdown in disguise.
›What's the Founding Hero deal?
The first 100 people who go annual on Hero lock $99/year — forever. It never renews at full price, it never comes back. When the 100 seats are gone, they're gone.
Rather run it yourself?
Zippy's redirect engine is open source (AGPL). Fork it, self-host it, own it.
