What TinyURL does not give you (that Meshalive does — free)

📊

Click analytics

TinyURL Free shows zero analytics. TinyURL Pro is $9.99/month for basic click counts. Meshalive gives you full geographic, device, browser, and referrer analytics — free.

📱

QR code generation

TinyURL has no built-in QR code generator. Meshalive generates a downloadable QR code for every short link instantly — free.

🔌

REST API

TinyURL has a basic API but rate-limits anonymous use heavily. Meshalive's full-featured API lets you create links, pull analytics, and manage domains programmatically.

🔖

Custom slugs

TinyURL lets you pick a slug on the free plan but slugs are first-come-first-served globally. Meshalive gives each account its own slug namespace.

👥

Dashboard and link history

TinyURL Free doesn't save your link history. Meshalive stores all your links in a dashboard so you can manage, edit, and track them over time.
