Botensten Links

Short links that tell you who clicked.

Links, QR codes and click analytics with the limits of Dub’s Business plan, for $29 a month instead of $90. Open source.

One account for Botensten Mail and Links.

Clicks you can act on

Every click by day, country, city, device, browser and the site it came from. Crawlers and link scanners aren't counted.

A QR code for every link

Download it as PNG or SVG. Change where the link goes later and the printed code follows.

Your own domain

Put links on go.yourbrand.com, with the certificate handled for you.

An API for everything

Create links, change them and read their clicks from code or an AI agent, with a key per app.

Pay for what you use, not for the brand.

Every plan is compared with the cheapest Bitly or Dub plan that offers as many links. Redirects never stop, even past your click allowance.

What a plan costs us

Botensten Links runs on hardware and a network we already pay for. What grows with every member is card processing, Cloudflare’s fee for custom domains and backup storage for clicks. Here is the most each plan can cost in a month, with every domain used and every click kept.

Prices read October 19, 2026: Stripe 3.6% + 30¢ per charge, Cloudflare $0.10 per domain a month, R2 $0.015 per GB-month.
