URL Grátis
Free link shortener with real-time click analytics for social media
About URL Grátis
URL Grátis is a Brazilian link shortener that turns long URLs into short, customizable links for WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Telegram. Anyone can shorten links without signing up, and a free account adds a dashboard with real-time, per-click analytics on traffic source, device, and user behavior. It also includes a QR code generator, a WhatsApp link generator, custom domains, and shortening through WhatsApp and Telegram bots.

Cons
