TinyURL vs UrlBae

TinyURL is a long-running shortener that now pairs its classic keyless web form with a modern REST API. The API authenticates with a Bearer API token from a TinyURL account and supports creating short links with custom aliases and expiration, updating destinations, and listing links, returning JSON. A free plan covers basic API shortening, while paid Pro and Bulk plans add branded domains, higher limits, and analytics.

UrlBae is a link-management platform offering short links, branded domains, link-in-bio pages, QR codes, and click tracking with geo and device analytics. Its REST API uses a Bearer API key and returns JSON, covering link creation, CTA overlays, branded domains, and account management. A free tier provides a monthly link and click allowance, with paid plans raising limits and unlocking branded domains and team features.
