Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of Bitly, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Bitly. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.
-
Growth. The recorded monthly price was $29, the annual-billed rate, in a field this dataset defines as the month-to-month price. The row's own notes name both figures and say which is which, so the correct value was already inside the record: the month-to-month price is $35. Re-based to it, with the annual discount set to this plan's own saving of 17%. Found by a corpus-wide scan on 2026-09-09 for the same error four call-tracking vendors carried, and confirmed against this row's own notes rather than a fresh read; the source date is therefore unchanged.

This standing as a plaque
Bitly currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 6 of 7 · Qr Code Generators. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Bitly moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
