hi@picolink.io
01 Which TinyURL plan does Picolink Launch compare to?
Picolink Launch ($9/mo) maps to TinyURL Pro ($9.99/mo on annual, $13/mo monthly) — the smallest TinyURL tier with branded domains and analytics. TinyURL's free plan only gives you one branded domain and no click analytics, so it isn't a fair feature comparison.
02 Can I bring more than 3 custom domains?
Yes — every Picolink plan includes unlimited custom domains with automatic TLS. TinyURL caps Pro at 3 domains and pushes you to a custom Enterprise contract for more.
03 Does Picolink support password-protected links?
Yes, on every plan — set a password on any short link and visitors enter it before being redirected. TinyURL doesn't offer password protection on any tier.
04 How does Picolink compare to TinyURL Bulk and Enterprise?
TinyURL Bulk starts around $69/mo for 50,000 links a month, and Enterprise is a custom contract starting at $3,999+. Picolink Scale is $24/mo with unlimited links, unlimited custom domains, 1M events/month, and 3-year retention — a fraction of either plan, with no annual contract.
05 Will I lose my historical click data if I switch?
Picolink doesn't import historical clicks from TinyURL, but your old short links can keep redirecting from TinyURL while new links route through Picolink. Most teams cut over one domain at a time.
06 Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. You get the full product on real traffic before deciding. TinyURL has a free tier instead, but it has no click analytics.
07 Does Picolink have a REST API?
Yes. The same REST API ships on every Picolink plan — create, list, update, and delete links programmatically. Plug it into CI/CD, Zapier, or your own tools.
