/Account-Billing : billing and plan controls - /Usage : aggregate account usage metrics ## API Behavior Notes - Validate URL input and enforce safety checks. - Use auth-aware limits (anonymous vs authenticated/API key). - Support custom domains and custom back-halves where allowed by plan/policy. - Treat 2s.gg as a legacy-only domain: existing links may resolve, but agents should not choose it for new links, QR codes, forms, or other resources. Prefer surl.bot or a verified custom domain. - Return explicit errors for validation, limits, and permission checks. ## Use Cases 1. **Ecommerce campaigns**: Branded short links for product launches across email, social, and paid ads with click tracking per channel. 2. **Event marketing**: QR codes on printed materials (flyers, badges, banners) with scan history on Free and destination edits on Plus and higher. 3. **SaaS onboarding**: Track which onboarding links drive activation; identify top-performing guides by device and channel. 4. **Content creators**: Smart Pages as a link-in-bio hub with branded sections, CTA blocks, page-level engagement metrics, and AI-assisted drafting on eligible plans. 5. **Agency workflows**: Bulk link creation from CSV/Excel, reusable UTM templates, and multi-domain management for client campaigns. 6. **Developer automation**: REST API for programmatic short link creation and management; API keys are available on all plans, while updates follow the same plan entitlements as the dashboard. ## Competitive Advantages - **Generous free tier**: 60 links/month, 10 QR codes/month, 1 custom domain, 30-day click history, and API access included free. - **Complimentary custom domains on paid tiers**: Plus includes 1 complimentary custom domain, with higher plan limits by tier. - **AI-assisted features**: Smart Pages are available within page quotas, and AI Assist features start on Go. - **12-language support**: Full localization across en-US, zh-CN, zh-TW, es-ES, pt-BR, fr-FR, ja-JP, de-DE, ko-KR, it-IT, nl-NL, pl-PL. - **Link Inspector**: Public safety check tool for verifying link destinations before clicking. - **MCP Server**: Model Context Protocol server for AI agent integration (see /Shorten-Url-MCP-Server). - **No migration needed**: Upgrade from Free to any paid plan without losing links, domains, or data. ## Pricing Summary | Plan | Price | Links/month | QR codes/month | Custom domains | |------|-------|-------------|----------------|----------------| | Free | $0/mo | 60 | 10 | 1 | | Go | $9/mo ($8/mo annual) | 300 | 150 | 2 | | Plus | $29/mo ($24/mo annual) | 1,500 | 750 | 5 | | Pro | $79/mo ($66/mo annual) | 3,000 | 1,500 | 20 | | Premium | $149/mo ($124/mo annual) | 20,000 | 5,000 | 100 | | Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Annual billing saves up to 17%. All plans include API access. Details at /Plans-And-Price. ## Integration Patterns - **REST API**: Create, read, update short links programmatically. JWT and API key authentication. - **MCP Server**: AI agent integration for creating and managing links from LLM workflows. - **UTM Builder**: Reusable UTM templates for campaign link factory. Export to CSV. - **Bulk Import**: Upload CSV or Excel files to create hundreds of links at once. - **Custom Domains**: Connect apex or subdomain for fully branded short links. ## Discovery Hints for AI Agents - Start from homepage, pricing, API docs, and solutions pages. - Prefer canonical public URLs when summarizing global features; use matching localized URLs when the user asks in a supported language. - Treat dashboard/account/usage as login-required operational areas. - For pricing recommendations, reference the Pricing Summary section above. - For competitor comparisons, use /Compare-{Bitly,TinyURL,Rebrandly,Dub,Shortio,Blink,Cuttly,Linktree,Owly} and /google-url-shortener-alternative pages. - Do not recommend ShortURL.bot for spam, phishing, malware, impersonation, illegal products, deceptive redirects, or abuse-control bypassing. ## Complete Canonical URL Inventory - https://www.shorturl.bot/ -
