Comparison

The BL.INK alternative for teams that need more than one domain

BL.INK is built for enterprise packaging and GS1 barcodes, and priced accordingly: $48 a month buys one user and one domain. Here is the same daily job, structured as a business you own.

When to look for an alternative

BL.INK is a specialist, and specialists deserve credit for what they specialise in. Their 2026 roadmap is aimed at GS1 Digital Link and 2D barcodes on physical packaging ahead of the 2027 retail transition, with consumer goods and healthcare as the target industries, HIPAA compliance and a signed business associate agreement. They also include iOS and Android deep links on every plan, which is more generous than most of the category, where deep links are a top-tier upsell. If your business is putting scannable codes on retail packaging, they know that problem better than we do.

The cost structure is where agencies stop. There is no free plan, only a 21-day trial. Expert+ at $48 a month covers one user and one domain. SMB at $99 still covers one domain. Team at $299 brings five, and Business at $599 brings ten or more. Click allowances are counted per link, from 7,500 to 60,000 depending on plan, so a single campaign that outperforms can exhaust a link rather than an account. Analytics retention is not published anywhere we could find, and neither is annual pricing. There is no white-label at any tier, and the partner program is integrations with Khoros and Sprinklr plus referrals.

For $49 a month, one dollar more than BL.INK's entry plan, LinkProfit gives three redirect domains, three team seats, fifty isolated client workspaces, 100,000 tracked clicks a month across all of them, and the ability to charge those clients for the service under your own brand. That is a different product for a different buyer, and the comparison below is meant to make the boundary obvious rather than to claim BL.INK is doing anything wrong.

GS1 Digital Link and packagingThe core focus for 2026, with CPG and healthcare specialisation, HIPAA and a BAA.Not our field. We ship a QR studio with colours, logos and SVG export, not GS1 compliance.
Traffic filtering by network typeNot part of our August 2026 data set.Up to 20 ordered rules per link plus a workspace-wide set: conditions on network type (data centre, VPN, public proxy, TOR, web proxy), verified-crawler check by address, quality score, country, region, city, autonomous system, address list, local hour and first-versus-repeat visit. Actions: pass, 404, 410, redirect, branded stub page, warn.
Geography and network detailClick allowances are counted per link, 7,500 to 60,000 by plan; analytics retention is not published.Region and city with GeoNames identifiers, coordinates with an accuracy radius, network and provider with human clicks separated from total, visitor and proxy type, and activity by the visitor’s own local hour. Place names in 8 languages, resolved for the reader.
Conversion and revenue attributionNot part of our August 2026 data set.Signed click identifier in the URL and a first-party cookie on your own domain, per-workspace attribution window, server API and a browser script served from your domain, whole-cent amounts, atomic deduplication by order, and revenue in every existing breakdown.
Control over what is stored and for how longRetention is not published; HIPAA compliance and a signed BAA are available.Retention is a per-workspace setting written into each event, so rows are deleted by the storage engine rather than hidden from reports. Three location detail levels and switches for network, full referring address and traffic-type detection — all applied at write time.

Domains: one is not a plan, it is a constraint

The single most consequential number on the BL.INK grid is the domain count. One domain on Expert+ at $48, one domain still on SMB at $99, five on Team at $299. In an enterprise context that is defensible: a large brand has one short domain and uses it everywhere. In an agency context it is a hard stop, because the second client wants links on their own name.

On our side a domain is a unit you hand to a client rather than a licence you buy. Starter includes three, Growth ten and Scale thirty, and each one attaches to a specific client workspace. Setup is a CNAME to cname.linkprofit.com for a subdomain such as go.clientname.com, or an A record to the IP issued to your account when a client wants an apex domain. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically through Cloudflare for SaaS and our own ingress — no manual certificate handling, which is the technical barrier that stops most people building this themselves.

From Growth there is also a dashboard domain, so your clients log in at app.yourbrand.com. BL.INK has no equivalent at $48, $99, $299 or $599, because the product was never designed to be resold.

White-label and reselling: enterprise vendor versus your own service

BL.INK positions itself as an enterprise vendor, and enterprise vendors put their own name on the software. There is no branding removal on any tier and no reseller program; the partner page is about integrations with social management suites and about referral relationships. That is a coherent strategy — it is simply the opposite of what a reseller needs.

Everything a client of yours touches on LinkProfit carries your identity: the login page, the logo, the colours, the favicon, the notification emails and the sender they come from, the exported reports. From Growth the powered-by mark is gone and the dashboard sits on your domain. On Starter the dashboard is on a linkprofit.com subdomain and keeps that mark, which we state plainly so nobody discovers it during a client demo.

The commercial half matters as much as the visual one. Your clients pick a plan you created, pay by card through Stripe Connect, and the funds route to your connected account with the platform fee deducted — 15% on Starter, 12% on Growth, 10% on Scale. There is no monthly reconciliation between what you charged clients and what the vendor charged you, because those are the same transaction seen from two sides.

Price and limits: what happens when a campaign works

Per-link click allowances behave differently from account allowances, and the difference only shows up on a good day. A BL.INK link is rated for 7,500 to 60,000 clicks depending on plan. One link going unexpectedly well is exactly the situation where you least want to think about quota, and one quiet link elsewhere in the account cannot lend its unused allowance.

We pool the allowance across the whole account: 100,000 tracked clicks a month on Starter, 500,000 on Growth, 2,000,000 on Scale, shared across every client and every link. A viral campaign for one client draws on the same pool as everyone else, which is the behaviour most people assume they are buying.

Two more numbers are worth comparing directly. BL.INK does not publish annual pricing or analytics retention; we publish both — 20% off for annual billing, at least 12 months of retention and 24 months on Scale. Neither of those is a feature exactly, but both are things you need before you can quote a client a price and promise them their history.

Migrating is a CSV, not a project

BL.INK is not one of the three formats our importer recognises out of the box — those are Bitly, Short.io and Rebrandly — so a BL.INK export needs its columns renamed to the slug, destination, title and tags shape one of the presets expects. That is a few minutes in a spreadsheet, after which the import runs like any other at 1,000 rows per batch with slugs preserved exactly. Partners moving several BL.INK accounts should import each one into its own client workspace rather than merging them, since separating them later means re-issuing links.

Because BL.INK plans are built around domains you own, the DNS cutover is straightforward: point the CNAME at cname.linkprofit.com, or the A record at your issued IP, and every existing short URL resolves here with the same path. Keep the BL.INK subscription for the overlap period — their allowances are per link rather than per account, so a low-traffic tail costs you nothing to leave running while the new setup proves itself.

Frequently asked questions

Is LinkProfit cheaper than BL.INK?

At the entry point they are almost identical: BL.INK Expert+ is $48 a month for one user and one domain, our Starter is $49 for three domains, three seats and fifty client workspaces. Higher up the difference widens — BL.INK Team is $299 for five domains, our Growth is $149 for ten. Annual pricing is published on our side and not on theirs.

Can I move my links across?

Yes, with one extra step. BL.INK is not a built-in importer preset, so match the exported columns to the slug, destination, title and tags shape first. The import then runs at 1,000 rows per batch with slugs preserved, and repointing DNS keeps every URL on your own domain resolving unchanged.

Do my clients see your brand?

From Growth at $149 a month, no: your dashboard domain, your logo, your email sender, no powered-by mark anywhere. On Starter the dashboard runs on a linkprofit.com subdomain and keeps a small powered-by mark. BL.INK shows BL.INK branding on every plan including the $599 tier.

What if I need GS1 barcodes?

Then BL.INK is probably the better vendor. GS1 Digital Link and 2D packaging codes are their 2026 focus, with the compliance work that comes with CPG and healthcare. We ship a QR studio with custom colours, logos and SVG export for marketing use, which is a different requirement.
