Reasonable Link Management (shortener) Service

Hey, I’m Aleks

I’m building a link management service because I’m tired of getting squeezed by tools that should be straightforward but end up costing way too much for what they actually do.

You know how Bitly and similar services start off simple, then suddenly you’re hitting limits on everything unless you fork over $30, $50, $100+ a month? Yeah, that’s the problem I’m trying to solve.

What I’m Building

A link shortening and management tool that doesn’t treat basic features like they’re premium luxuries. The idea is simple: give you what you actually need without the artificial restrictions that exist purely to push you into higher tiers.

Why I’m Asking for Feedback

I’m at the stage where I want to make sure I’m building something people actually want to use. Not what I think is cool, but what would genuinely make your life easier when managing links.

So if you’ve ever used Bitly, Short.io, Rebrandly, or any similar service and thought “this should be easier” or “why am I paying for this?” – I want to hear about it.

What features matter to you? What pricing would feel fair? What makes you rage-quit a link management tool?

I’m not looking to build another bloated SaaS that costs a fortune. I’m looking to build something useful that doesn’t feel like a ripoff.

Let me know what you think.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
