Is the free tier actually free?

Yes. 25 links, no credit card required, no expiry. Your links work forever. Free shows total clicks per link and a 7-day chart.

What analytics do I get?

Every click is tracked. Free shows total clicks and a 7-day chart per link. Pro shows country, city, referrer, device and browser breakdowns, a recent-clicks table, 90 days of history and CSV export.

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 limits: 25 links, click counts and a 7-day chart. Nothing breaks.

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