So how is this paid for?
Honestly: advertising on our articles and guides — the pages you're reading right now. That's it. If our writing helps people find us, the ads on those pages fund the links, the analytics and the servers for everybody.
Which means some firm promises about where ads will never appear:
- Never on your short links. No countdown timers, no "click to continue" pages, no interstitials. Your links redirect instantly, exactly as they should.
- Never in your dashboard. Your analytics stay clean.
- Never sold visitor data. We hash visitor IPs before they touch our database and we don't run third-party trackers on your audience.
If we ever add a paid tier it will be for genuinely heavy commercial use — bigger teams, white-label, enterprise support. The features on this page stay free.
Fair questions
What's the catch? +
There isn't a hidden one. We make money when people read our guides, so we're motivated to write useful things and keep the tool good enough that you come back. That's the whole model.
Will you start charging later and lock my links? +
No. Your links and analytics stay free and exportable to CSV at any time. Building an audience on a tool that later holds it hostage is exactly what we built LinkForge to avoid.
Are there really no click limits? +
None. Unlimited links and unlimited clicks, with full analytics history — not the 30-day window most free plans give you.
How can I support the project? +
Don't block ads on our articles, share a guide that helped you, and tell people the tool exists. That's genuinely enough.
