Is the free tier actually free?

Yes. 25 links, no credit card required, no expiry. Your links work forever.

What analytics do I get?

Every click tracked with country, device type, referrer, and time. Free tier shows click counts. Pro shows the full picture.

Can I use custom slugs?

Pro only. Instead of hshr.it/a3Bx9k you get hshr.it/your-brand or hshr.it/launch or whatever you want.

Can I delete or edit links?

Yes, anytime from your dashboard. Edit the destination URL without breaking the short link.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

Your links stay active. You drop back to the free tier limits (25 links, basic analytics). Nothing breaks.

Your analytics are private to your account. We don't sell data. We don't share it.
