Which one fits
Choose tinbo if
- You want geo and device targeting, passwords and expiry for $12 a month instead of $30.
- You want A/B testing without a $90 plan: it comes with tinbo Pro at $42, with up to 5 destinations.
- You send a lot of traffic: tinbo Pro tracks 500,000 clicks a month for $42, twice what Dub Business tracks in events for $90.
- You want an audit log on a small team: tinbo has one from $12, Dub on Enterprise.
- Your audience is on Instagram or TikTok: from $12, tinbo links can open YouTube, Instagram, Spotify and other apps in the app itself.
Choose Dub if
- You want to track sign-ups and sales from your links, or run an affiliate or partner program. tinbo does neither.
- You want 3 custom domains on a free plan, or a free .link domain with a paid one.
- You need deep links into your own iOS or Android app. tinbo doesn’t have them.
- You’re moving many links from another shortener: Dub has a CSV import and migration assistants, and tinbo has no importer.
- You want a widely used product with its link code in the open: Dub says it has over 100,000 customers, and Dub Links is open source under AGPLv3, with some parts under a commercial license.
