T.LY at a Glance
T.LY link management with the workspace sidebar, search, and link activity.
T.LY is a link management and URL shortener platform built for branded links, QR codes, Smart URLs, OneLinks, retargeting, and private analytics. Paid plans include custom domains with SSL, unlimited clicks, API access, editable destinations, and published monthly usage limits. T.LY also offers a free online shortener and browser extension, and its redirects do not insert ad interstitials.
Plans include a free online shortener and browser extension for occasional shortening, plus paid tiers starting with Hobby at $55/year for 500 new links per month. Monthly paid plans start with Personal at $10/month for 1,000 new links per month, followed by Basic at $20/month, Pro at $50/month, and Business at $100/month for higher-volume teams. A five-day trial is available for paid plans.
BL.INK Snapshot
BL.INK Core and Loftware connected-packaging product pages.
BL.INK is positioned around governance, scale, structured analytics, and connected packaging. BL.INK Core still serves self-serve short-link and QR workflows, while Loftware now leads the broader story with enterprise connected packaging, GS1 Digital Link, and digital product passport use cases.
As of September 1, 2026, BL.INK’s official support documentation still lists a 21-day Core trial, Expert+ at $48/month, SMB at $99/month, Team at $299/month, and Business at $599/month before Enterprise. The old BL.INK pricing URL now redirects to Loftware Connected Packaging, so current positioning emphasizes permanent QR codes, GS1 Digital Link, packaging compliance, and enterprise integrations more than self-serve pricing.
