A: Hi,
We usually don’t do comparisons, but since you asked, here is our quick analysis based on what we noticed.

- What is the difference between the two:
- Linko seems to be much older than CutMe Short. Currently, we are in a growth phase and rapidly growing towards what a new-age marketer needs.
- One of the biggest differences I noticed is the in-platform ads that can affect the user experience a lot. CutMe Short will remain ad-free.

- What is the advantage of CutMe Short over Linko.me
- Currently, CutMe Short is one of the best URL shorteners on AppSumo, with 100+ reviews and a 4.8 rating.
- The advantage of CutMe Short is our vision. We have a fast team, and we have already entered the age of AI, where we will not run behind new features, but our vision is to create workflows that solve use cases. Also, we have lot of features coming up soon—link conversion—where you can track leads and sales as well, along with tracking pixels and a revamped UI that will make our user experience even better.
- We currently also have dynamic UTMs, which are not available in any other URL shortener platform. And our analytics are very insightful and detailed.
- Linko has a data retention policy of 1 year in LTD, but in CutMe Short, all links and data are retained for an unlimited time.

- What is the advantage of Linko.me over CutMe Short
- On a quick glance, I can see more features available in Linko, like password-protected links, file upload, and bio pages, which we can also launch quickly if there is enough demand from users.

- And also how your rate can become better than Linko.me if it is not already better
- As I can see now, CutMe Short is definitely cheaper than Linko, with LTD1 at $59 for CutMe Short vs $79 for Linko.

Also, we agree we may have overall fewer features, but we are rapidly building CutMe Short, keeping in mind what marketers need in this AI era—integrations, AI workflows, automations, etc. This is our vision, and with this, we truly believe that after 1–2 years, we will be better than any other link management platform.
