Honest comparisons

Elido vs. das Feld — including where we lose.

Wir werden nicht vorgeben, jede Kategorie zu gewinnen. Hier ist, was wir tatsächlich besser machen, und wo die Konkurrenz die Nase vorn hat.

Head to head

Five legitimate alternatives. Five honest write-ups.

Each comparison page lists the categories where Elido wins, where it's a wash, and the ones where the competitor pulls ahead. No marketing-by-omission.

Compare to

Bitly

EU-gehostet. Gleiche Weiterleitungsgeschwindigkeit. Ein fairerer kostenloser Plan.

  • Better at price — Pro starts at €3.50 a month; Bitly's is $35.
  • Better at residency — EU-resident by default; Bitly leans on the DPF.

Compare to

Rebrandly

Reine REST ohne die Workspace-im-Header-Workarounds.

  • Better at API hygiene — Bearer auth — no `apikey` + workspace shadow header.
  • Better at conversions — Native Stripe / Shopify forwarding, not via Zapier.
  • Better at analytics — 90-day retention on free vs Rebrandly's 30 days.

Short.io

Native SCIM, granulare RBAC und eine Klick-Cap, die tatsächlich funktioniert.

  • Better at SCIM — Native via WorkOS on Business; Short.io: Enterprise add-on.
  • Better at RBAC — Custom roles with fine-grained ABAC, not just 4 fixed tiers.
  • Better at click caps — Per-link `max_clicks` enforcement — Short.io has none.

Dub.co

EU-Datenresidenz, eigene Edge-POPs und keine Pro-Request-Serverless-Kosten.

  • Better at residency — EU-resident by default; Dub runs US-East on a serverless platform unless self-hosted.
  • Better at price — Pro starts at €3.50 a month; Dub's entry tier is $24.
  • Better at SSO/SCIM tier — Native on Business; Dub gates both behind Enterprise.

TinyURL

Analytics, eine API und ein kostenloser Plan, auf dem Sie wirklich aufbauen können.

  • Better at free tier — Full REST API and 5k clicks/mo retained; TinyURL free has no API and no analytics.
  • Better at compliance — EU residency by default; TinyURL is a US SaaS.
  • Better at teams — Workspaces, RBAC, SCIM on Business — TinyURL is per-account.

Why teams move

Three reasons people switch — and they're not vanity metrics.

Every migration ticket we see lands in one of these three buckets. The features page has the long version; this is the 30-second pitch.

Cost savings

Pro plans start at €3.50 a month, Business at €70. You pick a size by link volume, and the Free plan covers 50 links and 500 tracked clicks a month.

See pricing

EU data residency

Edge POPs in the EU region, US East, and Asia-Pacific route every request inside-region. The control plane lives in the EU; sub-processors are listed and minimised.

How analytics stays in-EU

Self-hosting by contract

A Helm chart for Kubernetes exists in the repository. Licence terms and the supported self-hosting model are set per contract; contact [email protected].

Trust and security

How migration works

Four steps. Zero broken QR codes. A real rollback window.

We treat migrations as a deploy, not a marketing exercise. Here's the flow we run for every team that switches over — same playbook for 1,000-link side projects and 1M-link enterprises.

  1. Step 1

    Export

    from your current tool

    CSV from Bitly /v4 or Rebrandly /links. We'll ingest the slug + destination + UTM tail without renaming columns.

  2. Step 2

    Dry-run import

    POST /v1/links/bulk?dryRun=1

    Preview shows per-row mapping, slug collisions, and UTM template overrides. No links are created until you commit.

  3. Step 3

    Cutover

    CNAME flip, zero downtime

    Old short domain points at us; old origin keeps resolving 30 days as fallback. QR codes stay valid.

  4. Step 4

    Audit

    rollback window

    Per-link diff log shows exactly what changed; revert any mismatch with one button. We sign off when you sign off.

At-a-glance criteria

Ten criteria, four products, no asterisks.

The full deep-dives live on each comparison page; this is the wide-angle view. Yes / partial / no — partial means it exists but in a different tier or with caveats.

Switching is fast

Most teams cut over in a single afternoon.

We've ported tens of thousands of short links from Bitly, Rebrandly, and Short.io without a single broken redirect. The numbers below are the median across the last 200 migrations.
