In February 2025, Bitly added an interstitial ad to every link on the free plan.

Not a banner. Not a footer note. A full-page ad that plays before your link destination loads — shown to every person who clicks a free Bitly link. No opt-out for the creator. No warning before it went live.

Find@ does not show ads on any plan — free or paid. Every click goes straight to the destination. No detours, no delay.

Bitly free gives you 5 links a month. Find@ free gives you 20.

Bitly's free plan caps short links at 5 per month. That is not enough to run a newsletter, a social media calendar, or a basic marketing workflow. At that limit, the product is a demo, not a tool.

Find@ free includes 20 short links per month, 3 QR codes, and 5,000 tracked clicks. It is usable. If you need more, Lite starts at $9 per month — not $29.

Team access at Bitly costs $199 per month. At Find@, it is included in the $15 plan.

Bitly's Growth plan at $29/month has no team features. The next tier with team access — Bitly Teams — starts at $199 per month. That is a 586% jump. For most small teams and agencies, it is simply out of range.

"We were on Bitly Growth. As soon as we needed a second person to manage links, they quoted us $199 a month. We switched the same week."

Find@ Pro is $15 per month and includes 5 team members with role-based permissions. Manage every client, campaign, and bio page from one shared workspace — at the same price as Bitly Growth.

Bitly Growth caps clicks. Find@ Pro does not.

Bitly Growth at $29/month limits monthly clicks. If a campaign goes beyond that, links stop resolving or you get a bill. For any creator or marketer running time-sensitive content, a click cap is not a minor inconvenience — it is a hard stop.

Find@ Pro includes unlimited clicks per month. No caps, no overage charges, no surprises at the end of a busy month.

Short links, QR codes, and bio pages — all in one platform.

Bitly is a link shortener. QR codes are a separate paid add-on. Bio pages are not part of the product — and neither is your own domain.

Find@ includes short links, dynamic QR codes, bio pages, and full websites on your own domain in every plan (Sites from Lite). One login, one dashboard, one bill.
