From first click to millions
we scale with you

Yes. UseClick.io offers a genuinely free plan with no credit card required and no time limit. The free tier includes 10 links, 1,000 clicks per month, 1 custom branded domain, real-time click analytics, QR code generation, a link-in-bio page, UTM builder, and REST API access at 100 requests per minute. According to a Capterra 2024 survey, only 23% of link management platforms offer a permanent free tier with analytics and custom domain support. UseClick's free plan is designed to let individuals and small projects experience the full platform before committing to a paid subscription. There are no hidden fees, no feature trials that expire, and no forced upgrades. You can use the free plan indefinitely, and if your needs grow, upgrading takes effect immediately with prorated billing so you only pay for what you use.

UseClick.io offers five pricing tiers: Free ($0), Starter ($12/month), Growth ($29/month), Pro ($49/month), and Business ($199/month), with yearly billing that saves up to two months on every paid plan. According to G2's 2024 Link Management Pricing Report, the average cost of comparable link management platforms ranges from $29 to $199 per month for mid-tier plans. UseClick's Starter plan at $12/month positions it among the most affordable options for creators and freelancers who need branded links, campaigns, and geo-targeting. The Growth plan at $29/month adds A/B/C/D testing and bulk upload, while Pro at $49/month includes team management for up to six users. Business at $199/month supports ten-plus users with 25,000 links and 1 million clicks per month. Custom Enterprise pricing is available for organizations with larger requirements.

The right UseClick plan depends on your link volume, team size, and feature requirements. The Free plan suits personal projects and testing with up to 10 links and 1,000 clicks per month. Starter at $12/month is ideal for creators, freelancers, and side projects needing up to 300 links, campaigns, geo-targeting, and CSV export. Growth at $29/month fits growing businesses that need A/B/C/D split testing, bulk link upload, and up to 1,000 links with 50,000 monthly clicks. Pro at $49/month adds team management for up to six users, making it suitable for marketing teams and agencies. Business at $199/month supports enterprise-scale operations with 25,000 links, 1 million clicks per month, and eleven team members. According to a Gartner 2024 SaaS buying guide, 62% of teams upgrade within three months of starting a free plan, so starting free and scaling is a proven approach.

Yes. UseClick.io offers yearly billing that saves the equivalent of two months compared to monthly pricing on every paid plan. Starter drops from $144/year to $120/year, Growth from $348/year to $290/year, Pro from $588/year to $490/year, and Business from $2,388/year to $1,990/year. According to a ProfitWell 2024 SaaS pricing study, annual billing discounts of 15-20% are the industry standard for subscription software, and UseClick's approximately 17% discount falls within that range. You can switch between monthly and yearly billing at any time from your account settings. When switching to yearly billing, the change applies at the start of your next billing cycle. Annual plans also provide budget predictability, which is particularly valuable for marketing teams managing quarterly and annual campaign budgets.

Yes. UseClick.io allows you to upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time with no penalties or lock-in contracts. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing, meaning you only pay the difference for the remaining time in your current billing cycle. Your new features, higher link limits, and increased click capacity activate instantly after upgrading. Downgrades apply at the end of your current billing cycle, so you retain access to your current plan's features until the period expires. According to a Zuora 2024 subscription economy report, 78% of SaaS users consider flexible plan changes a top-three purchasing factor. UseClick also preserves all your existing links, analytics data, and branded domain configurations when you change plans, ensuring no disruption to active campaigns or tracking during the transition.

No. You can create a UseClick.io account using just an email address or social login without entering any payment information. The free plan is fully functional with 10 links, 1,000 clicks per month, analytics, QR codes, and API access. A credit card is only required when you choose to upgrade to a paid plan. According to a Totango 2024 SaaS conversion study, products that offer no-credit-card-required signups see 25% higher trial-to-paid conversion rates because users can evaluate features without commitment pressure. UseClick's approach lets you build and test your link management workflow, explore analytics dashboards, set up branded domains, and generate QR codes before deciding whether a paid plan fits your needs. When you do upgrade, Stripe handles all payment processing with bank-level encryption and PCI DSS compliance.

When you reach your monthly click limit, your short links continue redirecting visitors to their destination URLs without interruption. No visitor will ever see an error page or broken redirect due to click limits. What changes is that additional clicks beyond your plan's monthly cap are no longer tracked in your analytics dashboard until the counter resets at the start of your next billing cycle. Your dashboard displays a notification showing your current usage and suggesting an upgrade to restore full tracking. According to a HubSpot 2024 marketing operations survey, 34% of marketers underestimate their monthly click volume when choosing a plan. UseClick's approach ensures your marketing campaigns never break mid-flight, even if traffic spikes unexpectedly. You can upgrade at any time to immediately restore click tracking, and the upgrade applies with prorated billing so you only pay for the remaining days in your cycle.

UseClick.io link limits represent total active links at any given time, not monthly resets. For example, the Starter plan allows up to 300 active links simultaneously, meaning you can have 300 short links working at once. If you need to create new links beyond your limit, you can delete older links that are no longer needed to free up capacity. This approach differs from platforms that reset link counts monthly, and according to a Bitly 2024 industry report, the average marketing team actively manages between 50 and 200 short links at any time. UseClick's total-link model means your limit reflects real usage rather than accumulation. Click limits, by contrast, do reset monthly. Each plan specifies a per-month click tracking cap, from 1,000 on Free to 1 million on Business. Upgrading immediately increases both your link capacity and monthly click allowance.

Yes, destination URL editing is available on all paid plans (Starter, Growth, Pro, and Business). This means you can change where a short link redirects without creating a new link or losing your click analytics history. Destination editing is essential for campaigns where landing pages change, seasonal promotions rotate, or A/B test variants need updating. According to a Rebrandly 2024 link management survey, 41% of marketers edit link destinations at least once per campaign cycle, making this a critical feature for active campaign management. The Free plan does not include destination editing to encourage upgrading when link management becomes a regular workflow. On paid plans, edits take effect immediately with no propagation delay, and all historical click data remains attached to the original short link. Your branded domain, custom slug, and QR codes continue working seamlessly after a destination change.

Data retention varies by plan to balance storage costs with user needs. The Free plan retains click analytics for 1 month, Starter for 6 months, Growth for 12 months, and Pro and Business plans include unlimited data retention with no automatic deletion. According to a Databox 2024 marketing analytics survey, 67% of marketers need at least 6 months of historical data to accurately measure campaign performance and identify seasonal trends. UseClick's tiered retention ensures that teams on higher plans can access long-term trend analysis, year-over-year comparisons, and historical campaign performance data. All plans include real-time analytics with country-level geographic data, browser and device breakdowns, referrer tracking, and unique visitor counts. Data within your retention window can be exported to CSV at any time on Starter plans and above. Privacy-first design means all retained data is anonymized with no IP addresses or personal information stored.

A/B/C/D split testing is available starting from the Growth plan ($29/month) and included in Pro and Business plans. UseClick's split testing supports up to four destination URL variants per link, allowing you to distribute traffic across multiple landing pages and measure which version generates the best results. According to a VWO 2024 conversion optimization report, companies that implement A/B testing on their marketing links see an average 21% improvement in click-to-conversion rates. Free and Starter plans do not include split testing because these tiers are designed for simpler link management workflows. On Growth and above, you can set custom traffic distribution percentages for each variant, monitor real-time performance metrics per variant, and declare a winner to route all traffic to the best-performing destination. Split testing works with branded domains, geo-targeting, and all other link features simultaneously.

Team management is available on the Pro plan (5 team members plus 1 owner, totaling 6 users) and the Business plan (10 team members plus 1 owner, totaling 11 users). Team features include role-based access control with owner, admin, and member roles, shared link libraries, collaborative campaign management, and unified analytics dashboards. According to a McKinsey 2024 digital marketing collaboration study, marketing teams that use shared link management tools reduce campaign setup time by 35% compared to teams where individuals manage links independently. Pro and Business plans automatically create an organization workspace where team members can view, edit, and manage links based on their assigned role. Team invitations use secure token-based email verification, and new members gain immediate access to the shared workspace. All team activity is tracked under a single billing account, and link ownership transfers seamlessly if team members change.

Custom branded domain limits scale with each plan: Free allows 1 domain, Starter allows 5, Growth allows 10, Pro allows 20, and Business allows unlimited custom domains. Every connected domain receives automatic SSL certificate provisioning through Vercel's edge network, typically completing in under 5 seconds with zero manual configuration. According to a Rebrandly 2024 branding study, branded short links using custom domains receive 39% more clicks than generic shortened URLs because they build trust and reinforce brand recognition. Setting up a custom domain requires creating a single CNAME DNS record pointing to UseClick's infrastructure. Most DNS providers propagate the change within minutes, and UseClick's dashboard provides real-time verification status. You can use subdomains like go.yourdomain.com or link.yourbrand.com, and each domain works with all link features including analytics, QR codes, geo-targeting, and A/B testing.

Yes. UseClick.io provides a comprehensive REST API available on all plans, including the Free tier. The API supports full CRUD operations for links (create, read, update, delete), click analytics retrieval with filtering and pagination, and authentication key management. API rate limits scale by plan: Free at 100 requests per minute, Starter at 300, Growth at 600, Pro at 1,200, and Business at 3,000 requests per minute. According to a Postman 2024 State of APIs report, 89% of marketing technology platforms now offer API access, but only 34% include it on free plans. UseClick's decision to include API access on all tiers enables developers and small teams to integrate link management into their workflows from day one. Authentication uses Bearer token API keys with SHA-256 hashing for secure storage. The API enforces the same plan-based feature restrictions as the web dashboard, ensuring consistent behavior across interfaces.

Yes. UseClick.io is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR regulations on all plans, including Free. The platform uses a privacy-first architecture that never stores IP addresses, full user agent strings, or precise location data. Click tracking uses SHA-256 hashed visitor fingerprints for unique counting without retaining any personally identifiable information. According to Cisco's 2024 Consumer Privacy Survey, 86% of consumers care about data privacy, making compliance a competitive advantage for businesses using link management tools. UseClick collects only country-level geographic data, parsed browser and device types, language preferences, and referrer URLs. There are no third-party cookies, no cross-site tracking pixels, and no personal data sold or shared with advertisers. Automated 365-day data retention limits ensure old click data is permanently deleted. EU hosting and cookie-free tracking mean UseClick can be used without displaying cookie consent banners for link tracking.

Smart Deep Linking is available on all paid plans: Starter ($12/month), Growth ($29/month), Pro ($49/month), and Business ($199/month). The Free plan does not include deep linking. Smart Deep Linking automatically detects a visitor's device and operating system, then routes them to the appropriate destination, whether that is an iOS app via Universal Links, an Android app via App Links, or a web fallback for desktop users. According to a Branch.io 2024 mobile linking report, deep links that route users directly into apps see 3.5 times higher conversion rates compared to links that open mobile web pages. UseClick's implementation requires no SDK installation and works by configuring destination URLs for each platform within the link creation interface. Deep links are compatible with all other UseClick features including branded domains, analytics tracking, A/B testing, and geo-targeting, giving marketing teams a unified workflow for both web and app campaigns.
