vs Comparison

goo.gl vs Short.io

Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re very close.

goo.gl

goo.gl was Google's URL shortener domain, later used for Firebase Dynamic Links redirects; the root page shows only an error message and existing short links are being retired.

Short.io

Short.io is a URL shortening service that lets users create branded short links on their own custom domains, with click analytics, dynamic QR codes, team collaboration and an API. A free plan covers up to 1,000 branded links.
