Bitly

The company operates a horizontal SaaS model focused on link and QR-code management for marketing and communications use cases. It offers a cloud platform and APIs that create, manage and track shortened and branded links, QR codes and simple landing pages, exposing analytics to measure performance across channels. Value is created by improving link trust and brand visibility, centralising governance of links and QR codes, and providing measurable engagement data for campaigns. It supports both self-service adoption by small teams and deeper integration into enterprise and platform workflows via APIs and higher limits, enabling high-volume automation and data collection for marketers and developers.

Bitly is a United States-based SaaS company that provides link management and QR-code generation tools used in digital and omnichannel marketing. Its platform allows users to create shortened and branded URLs, generate and customise QR codes, build lightweight landing pages, group links into campaigns, and access click and scan analytics via web, mobile apps, browser extensions and APIs.

The company generates revenue primarily from tiered paid subscriptions and enterprise contracts that provide higher usage limits, advanced analytics, governance features and service-level agreements. Customers include businesses, marketing teams, agencies, developers and organisations that need trackable, branded links and QR codes at scale for campaigns and integrations. A constrained free tier acts as a lead funnel into paid plans.
