SiteDetour vs Rebrandly

Rebrandly is a branded link shortener priced by links and clicks. SiteDetour does branded short links and dynamic QR codes on your own domain too, with unmetered clicks and scans, and then does what Rebrandly cannot: redirect entire domains and paths with HTTPS and route visitors by country, device or time. One subscription instead of two.

Short answer: SiteDetour, unless all you need is a free tier for ten social links. Rebrandly stops at individual short links. SiteDetour covers those links and the QR codes on your own domain, never meters clicks or scans, routes visitors by country or device on every plan, and also keeps retired domains alive, moves sites to new domains and runs campaign domains. Teams that start with Rebrandly for links and SiteDetour for redirects usually end up on SiteDetour alone.

Why teams choose SiteDetour over Rebrandly

Short links are one job. Domains are the bigger one, and SiteDetour does both.

Why SiteDetour wins

Branded short links and dynamic QR codes on your own domain, with no click or scan metering, from $12 a month. Whole-domain and path redirects with automatic HTTPS, which Rebrandly cannot do at all: rebrands, merged sites, defensive and typo domains, campaign domains, university and agency portfolios. Audience routing by country, device, language or time on every plan. Unlimited team members with roles.

When Rebrandly still makes sense

You create dozens of short links a week purely for social posts and newsletters, you lean on its browser extension and UTM builder, and you will never need to redirect a domain. For that narrow job Rebrandly is well made. Add a single domain migration or a printed QR code and the picture changes.

Can you use both?

You can: Rebrandly for day-to-day social links, SiteDetour for domain and path redirects. In practice most teams find SiteDetour's short links and QR codes are enough once they are on the platform, and drop the second subscription.

What you do not give up

Branded links on your own domain with automatic HTTPS, editable destinations, click tracking, QR codes, team access and an API. Everything that makes a Rebrandly link useful, SiteDetour's links have, without a per-click meter.

What you would pay

Monthly list prices in US dollars. Rebrandly tiers are set by link and click volume, so growth costs more; SiteDetour is priced by hosted domains, with links and clicks unmetered.

Rebrandly

Free for 10 branded links; paid tiers from about $11 to $32 a month by link volume, enterprise above.

Questions people ask when comparing

Can Rebrandly redirect an entire domain to another?

Rebrandly is designed for individual branded short links, not for forwarding every path of one domain to another. A hosted redirect service such as SiteDetour does that with a single rule, keeping paths and query strings.

Is SiteDetour a Rebrandly alternative for short links?

Yes, and for most teams a complete one. SiteDetour creates branded short links on your own domain with editable destinations, real-time click analytics, QR codes and no click metering, then adds whole-domain redirects and audience routing that Rebrandly does not have. Rebrandly's remaining edge is its browser extension and UTM tooling.

Which is cheaper?

For ten free links, Rebrandly. For anything a business depends on, SiteDetour: $12 a month covers 5 hosted domains with unmetered traffic plus 20 short links or QR codes, and you never pay more because a link got popular. Rebrandly has no equivalent for domain redirects at any price.

Can either send visitors to different pages by country?

SiteDetour can, on every plan, with audiences that route by country, continent, device, browser, language, referrer, query parameters or time. Rebrandly does not offer rule-based routing on standard plans.

Do both support QR codes?

Yes. Both generate QR codes tied to editable links. SiteDetour's codes live on your own domain, allow unlimited scans, support custom colors, logos and AI-generated art, and can route scanners per audience, which makes them the safer choice for anything printed.

Does either affect SEO?

Short links from either tool are 301 or 302 redirects and pass through normally. For moving a site to a new domain, only a whole-domain 301 redirect with path mapping preserves rankings, which is a SiteDetour job.
