Why URLcut.ai's AI Changes Everything

The #1 reason people switch from Bitly

❌ Bitly's Approach

Random & Forgettable
bit.ly/3xK2jN9

Meaningless random characters. Nobody remembers this.
Lower click-through rates, unprofessional appearance.

βœ… URLcut.ai's AI

Smart & Memorable

AI reads your page, suggests readable URLs.
Studies show 39% better click-through rates, professional, memorable.

Switching from Bitly is Easy

Your questions answered

Can I import my Bitly links?

While there's no automatic import yet, most users simply start using URLcut.ai for new links and keep old Bitly links active. Your old Bitly links will continue working after you switch.

Will my old Bitly links break?

No! Your existing Bitly links will continue to work even after you cancel your subscription. Bitly keeps links active on their free tier (limited to 10 links/month creation).

How long does migration take?

About 2 minutes. Sign up, test a link with AI suggestions, and you're ready to go. Most users switch gradually, using URLcut.ai for new links starting today.

What about my analytics data?

Export historical data from Bitly before canceling. URLcut.ai will track all new link analytics going forward with detailed insights on clicks, locations, devices, and referrers.

Can I use my custom domain?

Custom domain support is coming soon. Currently, you can create custom slugs on urlcut.ai domain (like urlcut.ai/your-slug). This works well for most users while we build out custom domain infrastructure.

Does URLcut.ai have an API?

API access is coming soon! We're actively building a full REST API that will enable you to integrate URL shortening and AI suggestions into your apps and workflows.
