Mgnet.me vs Rebrandly

Mgnet.me is a niche shortener for BitTorrent magnet URIs rather than web pages: a GET or POST to /api/create with a magnet parameter returns a short mgnet.me link that redirects back to the original magnet. The API is keyless and can return JSON, XML, or plain text (with JSONP callback support), but the service is HTTP-only — no TLS is available on its endpoints.

Rebrandly specializes in branded short links on your own custom domain, aimed at marketing and brand-consistent link sharing. Its REST API uses an apikey header and covers link creation, custom slashtags, tags, domains, and click analytics, returning JSON. A free tier allows a capped number of branded links per month, with paid Starter, Pro, and Enterprise plans scaling link volume, domains, and team features.
