Dub

Dub is an open-source link management platform built for modern marketing teams and developers. It goes far beyond simple URL shortening, offering branded short links, detailed analytics, QR code generation, and a developer API that integrates link management into any application. Every link you create through Dub tracks clicks, geographic distribution, device types, referrer sources, and browser information in a clean, real-time dashboard. Dub supports custom domains so your short links match your brand, link expiration for time-sensitive campaigns, password protection for private links, and deep linking for mobile apps. The geo-targeting and device-targeting features let you redirect users to different destinations based on their location or device. For developers, the REST API and TypeScript SDK make it easy to programmatically create, update, and analyze links. Dub supports link tags and comments for organization, workspaces for team collaboration, and webhook events for real-time notifications. The open-source version can be self-hosted, while Dub Cloud offers a free tier with 25 links per month and 1,000 tracked clicks. For businesses doing content marketing, affiliate tracking, or any campaign that relies on link sharing, Dub provides Bitly-level functionality with modern developer experience and transparent pricing.
