Growann's View

Our opinion on Bitly

Bitly presents a cost-effective solution for link tracking, with pricing that is competitive within the market. It stands out by offering users the ability to export analytics data into Excel for comprehensive analysis and provides over 10 integration options, enhancing its utility and flexibility. However, its user interface falls short of competitors in terms of aesthetics, and users have reported occasional delays in data reporting, alongside a confusing setup process for conversion tracking due to unclear support documents. Unique to Bitly, the platform offers advanced features such as the ability to disregard multiple clicks from the same source via ClickMeter technology, link redirect targeting based on various user criteria, and a robust analytics dashboard that enables detailed reporting on metrics like source, keywords, and IP addresses, making it a versatile tool for detailed link analysis and optimization.

What we like:

  • Software pricing is reasonable compared to other link tracking solutions on the market.
  • Users can export analytics data into excel for deeper analysis
  • More than 10+ integrations options are provided

What we don't like:

  • UI isn’t as nice as other link tracking solutions on the market
  • There is sometimes a reported lag in the data reported on the platform.
  • Conversion tracking setup can be confusing for some users because of the support center documents.

Unique product features:

  • ClickMeter allows you to easily detect multiple clicks from a source before identifying a visitor or spider as a single click.
  • You can target your link redirects by a variety of variables such as; country, language, device type, user type, and many more.
  • Their robust analytics dashboard gives you the ability to filter down into granular reporting, and provide metrics like source, keywords, IPs, and so much more.
