Compare

How OrphLink stacks up.

A feature-by-feature comparison against Dub.co, Bitly, Short.io, and Rebrandly. Every OrphLink cell maps to a capability that actually ships — where something needs setup or is deliberately left out, we say so.

Where we lead

Privacy is the wedge, not an afterthought.

We gate the redirect behind consent, keep fraud out of your counters, and never inject third-party tracking pixels. That last one is deliberate — it's a stance, not a missing feature.

  • Server-side content proxy with regex cloaking — not just a redirect.
  • Redirect-time GDPR consent gate with tracking suppression.
  • AI content moderation (Llama Guard) with per-link verdicts.
  • Per-IP click-fraud detection that keeps your counters honest.
  • HMAC-signed webhooks with an SSRF guard, plus built-in link-health monitoring.
