Cuttly
A Polish link platform that bundles shortening, QR codes, link-in-bio, surveys, and landing pages.
About
Cuttly, based in Gdansk, Poland, is a custom URL shortener that goes wider than most rivals: beyond branded domains and analytics, one account covers QR codes, a Link in Bio page, audience surveys, and Action Pages, which are CTA landing pages with countdown timers behind a short link. The free plan is unusually complete at 30 links a month with full analytics and no click caps, one branded domain, watermark-free QR codes, a 5-link bio page, and a small survey allowance (all provider-stated). Paid plans run Starter at $12 a month, Single at $25, Team at $99, and Team Enterprise at $149, adding domains, A/B link rotation, retargeting pixels, device targeting, bot filtering, and EU data residency. Analytics are real-time with clicks, referrers, devices, and geolocation.
The platform's own comparison pages are aggressive marketing, so take the rival callouts with salt, but the breadth is genuine: it replaces a shortener plus a QR tool plus a survey tool for small teams. Downsides are a smaller brand than Bitly and a comparison culture that reads like a sales deck. No published independent benchmarks for analytics accuracy or uptime.

Use cases
Works with
Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (verified tier, metrics-v1). Evidence: cutt.ly documents the free tier (30 links, uncapped analytics, 1 domain, survey, bio page) and the plan ladder ($12/$25/$99/$149) with Action Pages, surveys, and EU residency; the Gdansk base is confirmed by third-party profiles. Strengths: the broadest feature bundle per dollar in the category, strong free tier. Docked for: (1) proprietary with no self-host path; (2) the vendor's own comparison content is openly adversarial, so claims need independent checking; (3) smaller brand and community than Bitly or Rebrandly. License: proprietary.
