Overview

Slugy is an open-source link management tool that turns long URLs into short branded links and records clicks against them. It also generates QR codes, hosts link-in-bio pages, and supports custom domains, link tags and UTM templates. Paid plans add advanced analytics, longer retention, link expiration, password protection and custom link previews.

Best for: Individuals and small teams wanting short links with click analytics and link-in-bio pages.
Pricing: A free Basic plan runs forever and a paid Pro plan is billed monthly or yearly (yearly gives two months free), but no price figures appear in the captured pages.
Runs on: Web

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

Open source, with the code published on GitHub
Free plan covers 20 links, 2 custom domains and basic analytics
Short links, QR codes, bio links, UTM templates in one tool

Trade-offs

Free plan tracks only 1k clicks/month and keeps analytics 30 days
Pro tops out at 3 users and 10 custom domains, so unsuited to larger teams
Only two plans published; nothing above Pro's 5 workspaces and 100 links each
Pricing page shows plan names but no visible prices
