Comparison
LinkProfit vs Rebrandly
Rebrandly is a mature, certified, marketing-led platform for brands. LinkProfit is infrastructure for people who sell link services to clients. The table below includes the rows where Rebrandly is ahead.
When to look for an alternative
These two products get shortlisted together by agencies, which is why a straight comparison is useful, but they are not built for the same customer. Rebrandly sells branded links to companies that want their own name on a short URL. LinkProfit sells the machinery for offering that service to other companies under your name, with their subscriptions as your revenue.
Rebrandly is ahead in the areas that maturity buys. It holds SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, publishes a 99.99% uptime commitment, and lists Toyota, Ubisoft and Volvo among its customers — three things we cannot match today, and the kind of thing that decides a procurement review before anyone looks at features. Its entry pricing is also far below ours: Essentials at $11 to $14 a month as of August 2026, against $49 for our cheapest plan.
The differences that favour us are structural rather than cosmetic. Rebrandly meters engagement data — the analytics events themselves — at 100, 10,000, 25,000 and 150,000 per month by plan, and gates deep links to Growth, pixels to Professional, with no percentage A/B splits anywhere. Domains run 1, 2, 3 and 10. Workspaces exist from Professional but share a single billing relationship, and there is no white-label at any tier, which means an agency on Rebrandly is always visibly reselling somebody else's product. One presentational note: the price ranges above are ranges because Rebrandly serves two different price sets on its pricing page, an A/B test running when we collected this data in August 2026.
Side by side
Rebrandly data collected August 12, 2026 from public pricing and documentation pages; verify current terms with the vendor before deciding.

| What is metered | Engagement data: 100 / 10,000 / 25,000 / 150,000 tracked events a month, enforced hard. Redirects are unlimited. | Tracked clicks: 100,000 / 500,000 / 2,000,000 a month, with the full analytics set on every plan. |
| Custom domains | 1 / 2 / 3 / 10 by plan. | 3 / 10 / 30 by plan, unlimited on Enterprise. |
| DNS setup | CNAME registrar.dedicated.domains, apex A record 52.72.49.79, automatic Let's Encrypt certificates; Cloudflare Flexible mode is a known source of redirect loops. | CNAME cname.linkprofit.com, apex A record to the IP issued to your account, certificates automatic via Cloudflare for SaaS and our ingress. |

| Workspaces and client billing | Workspaces from Professional (2+), all billed to one account. No reseller billing. | 50 / 250 / 1,000 client workspaces, each with its own subscription paid to you via Stripe Connect. |
| Payouts | Not applicable — client money never flows through Rebrandly. | Destination charges with an application fee: payouts land on your bank account, platform fee 15% / 12% / 10%. |
| Deep links | Growth plan only ($99–119/mo). | iOS and Android on every plan. |
| Retargeting pixels | From Professional ($32–39/mo). | Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, X and custom pixels on every plan. |
| A/B testing | Not offered. Traffic routing rules only. | Percentage splits on every plan, alongside geo, device and language targeting. |
| Analytics retention | Retention windows were not part of our August 2026 data set; the binding constraint is the monthly event cap. | At least 12 months on every plan, 24 months on Scale. |
| API | Rebrandly publishes a REST API; per-plan rate limits were not part of our August 2026 data set. | REST API and webhooks from Growth, 600 requests per minute base, priority on Scale. No API on Starter. |
| Compliance | SOC 2 and HIPAA, 99.99% uptime advertised. | DPA, SLA and security review on Enterprise; 99.99% redirect uptime is our internal target. No SOC 2 report today. |
| Customer references | Named enterprise logos including Toyota, Ubisoft and Volvo. | A 2026 launch with no public logo wall. Our customers put their own logos on the product instead. |
| Traffic filtering by network type | Traffic routing rules exist; filtering by network type — data centre, VPN, TOR — was not 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 detail | Engagement data is metered at 100 / 10,000 / 25,000 / 150,000 tracked events per month by plan; the breakdown depth was not part of our August 2026 data set. | 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 attribution | Not 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 long | Not part of our August 2026 data set. | 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: allowances, apex records and the Cloudflare trap
Rebrandly allocates 1 domain on Free, 2 on Essentials, 3 on Professional and 10 on Growth. For a brand with one short domain that is plenty; for anyone holding domains on behalf of clients the count becomes a client limit, since Growth at $99 to $119 caps you at ten.
The mechanics are close on both sides — a CNAME for subdomains, an A record for apex domains, and automatic Let's Encrypt certificates — but the details differ. Rebrandly points at registrar.dedicated.domains and 52.72.49.79, and their setup has a well documented friction point with Cloudflare in Flexible SSL mode, which produces redirect loops until the client changes their SSL setting. We point at cname.linkprofit.com or at an IP issued to your account, with certificates handled through Cloudflare for SaaS and our own ingress, and Scale adds a dedicated ingress IP for partners who want their redirect traffic isolated.
The structural difference is again ownership. Our domains attach to individual client workspaces — 3 on Starter, 10 on Growth, 30 on Scale — so each client gets their own hostname, their own links and their own analytics view, and a departing client takes their domain without disturbing anyone. And from Growth there is a dashboard domain, a concept Rebrandly has no equivalent for because its dashboard cannot be rebranded at any price.
White-label and reselling: workspaces are not a reseller model
Rebrandly markets to agencies and backs it with workspaces from Professional upwards. Workspaces do a real job: they keep client links, tags and UTM templates apart inside one account, and Rebrandly UTM templates are among the better implementations in the category. What they do not do is change whose product the client is looking at, or who takes the client's money.
On LinkProfit the client is your customer in every sense that matters operationally. They log in on your hostname, see your logo, receive email from your sender address, choose from plans you wrote at prices you set from $5 a month upwards, and pay by card through Stripe Connect. Destination charges route the payment to your connected account with the application fee taken automatically, so the platform never invoices you for something you have to collect later.
Being fair about the trade: Rebrandly brings compliance artefacts we do not have. SOC 2 and HIPAA are real documents that unblock real deals, and a client-facing agency can borrow that credibility by naming the vendor underneath. Our partners do not name a vendor at all, which means their own credibility has to carry the sale. On Enterprise we provide a DPA, an SLA and a security review, and single sign-on is planned for after launch — but no SOC 2 report exists today and we will not imply one does.
Price and limits: what happens when a campaign performs
The engagement-data cap is the most important line on a Rebrandly plan. Unlimited redirects means links keep resolving; the metered part is the analytics that make them worth using. Professional at $32 to $39 allows 25,000 tracked events a month and Growth at $99 to $119 allows 150,000. A single successful client campaign can consume a month of allowance that several other clients were also relying on.
We meter tracked clicks — 100,000 a month on Starter, 500,000 on Growth, 2,000,000 on Scale — pooled across all your clients, and no analytics capability is gated by tier: geo down to city, device, browser, OS, referrer and UTM parameters are captured on every plan, and retention is at least 12 months, 24 on Scale. Feature gating is also thinner by design: deep links, targeting, percentage A/B splits and retargeting pixels are available on Starter, where Rebrandly reserves them for Professional and Growth.
On absolute cost Rebrandly wins the low end and it is not close: Essentials at $11 to $14 a month against our $49. The economics only invert when the plan carries clients who pay you. Twenty-five clients at $19 a month on Growth is $475 of client revenue against a $149 subscription and a 10% fee, and the same twenty-five clients on Rebrandly would need enough domains, workspaces and event allowance to exist at all — and would still be paying you through invoices you write by hand.
Migrating is a CSV, not a project
Rebrandly exports to CSV and is one of the three presets built into our importer, so no column renaming is needed: upload the file, choose the destination workspace, and slugs, destinations, titles and tags are written at 1,000 rows per batch with slugs preserved character for character. Agencies running several clients inside Rebrandly workspaces should import each workspace separately, since one LinkProfit workspace is meant to equal one paying client.
For domains you own, the switch is a DNS change and the URLs do not move: repoint the CNAME to cname.linkprofit.com, or the apex A record to the IP issued to your account, and the identical short URLs resolve here with certificates issued automatically. Links on rebrand.ly or on any other Rebrandly-controlled hostname stay behind, since that hostname is theirs. Keep the Rebrandly subscription live through the overlap — running both platforms in parallel causes no conflict, and it lets you move clients one at a time instead of on a single risky evening.
Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper?
Rebrandly, if you are a single team: Essentials is $11 to $14 a month as of August 2026 against our $49 Starter. LinkProfit becomes cheaper per client once you are serving several, because one $149 Growth plan carries 250 client workspaces, and those clients are paying you rather than adding to your bill.
What is the practical effect of the engagement-data limit?
Redirects keep working, but the analytics stop recording once the monthly event allowance is spent — 100, 10,000, 25,000 or 150,000 depending on plan. We meter tracked clicks instead (100,000 to 2,000,000 a month) and leave every analytics feature enabled on every plan, so the ceiling is volume rather than capability.
Can I move my Rebrandly links?
Yes, with no preparation. Rebrandly is a built-in importer preset: export CSV, upload, and links import at 1,000 rows per batch with slugs preserved. Domains you own keep resolving the same URLs after you repoint DNS; anything on a Rebrandly-owned hostname stays with them.
Where is Rebrandly clearly better?
Compliance and references. They hold SOC 2 and HIPAA, advertise 99.99% uptime and can name Toyota, Ubisoft and Volvo as customers. If your buyer runs a vendor security review before signing, that paperwork closes deals we currently cannot. Our Enterprise plan offers a DPA, an SLA and a security review, which is not the same thing as a certification.
