Linkfor vs Rebrandly: branded short links and a domain that does more
Rebrandly built one of the longest-running branded short-link services. Linkfor uses the same redirect primitive as your Notion site, so a single domain can render pages, redirect, and serve raw files — under one subscription.
Pick Rebrandly if you have an enterprise compliance checklist it ticks (SOC 2, ISO), you're already invested in its UTM builder + reporting, and your domain is doing one job.
Pick Linkfor if you want branded redirects, a Notion site, deep links, and raw file hosting on the same domain — and you'd rather pay one subscription than three.

The bundled subscription you're already paying for
Rebrandly Growth is $99/mo. To match what Linkfor Pro ships at $1/moyou'd also need a Notion website builder (Super.so, ~$16/mo, or Potion.so, ~$12/mo) and a way to serve raw ads.txt / /.well-known/*.
Linkfor consolidates that into one subscription on one domain — see the home-page consolidation table.
When to pick Rebrandly
- You're an enterprise team and Rebrandly is already the approved tool — SOC 2, ISO, single sign-on, the whole checklist.
- You ship hundreds of branded links per week with rich UTM-builder workflows and want the most mature reporting stack on the market.
- You need its API to push 10k links a day from a CRM. Linkfor has a config-driven API but isn't built for industrial link-creation throughput yet.
- You want a vendor that does only branded short links, has done so for over a decade, and isn't trying to also be a CMS.
- Your domain has one job and one job only — redirecting. No landing page, no app deep links, nothing else.
When to pick Linkfor
- You want a Notion site, branded redirects, deep links, and raw file hosting under one subscription on one domain.
- Your redirect cluster is small to medium (dozens to low thousands of links), and the price difference matters.
- You ship a mobile app and want deep links included in the entry tier rather than a higher-paid add-on.
- You ship multiple Notion sites — Pro covers 3 sites and Business 10.
- You want one dashboard for pages + redirects + analytics instead of switching tabs between a CMS, Rebrandly, and a static-host project.
How to switch from Rebrandly to Linkfor
Rebrandly exports your link list to CSV. Linkfor accepts the same shape and remounts the cluster under your domain.
- Export your link list from Rebrandly (Reports → Export CSV) — slug, destination, UTM tags.
- Sign up for Linkfor and create a site. Attach the same branded domain — Linkfor provisions SSL automatically.
- Mount a redirect tree at
/go/*(or whatever path you used in Rebrandly) and import the CSV. Optional iOS / Android deep-link URLs become a{ ios, android, web }field on each redirect. - Optional: add a Notion page mount at
/for a landing page on the same domain — covered by the same Pro plan. - Repoint DNS, spot-check a sample of links, then cancel Rebrandly.
