Best alternatives to Dub in 2026

Dub takes the everyday short link — the kind you'd make with Bitly — and turns it into a full tracking system: not just "how many people clicked," but which of those clicks turned into an actual signup or sale, under your own branded domain instead of a generic bit.ly link. It handles branded short links, QR codes, device and geo-targeting, A/B testing, deep linking, and real-time conversion attribution from first click to final sale, plus built-in affiliate/referral program management with partner payouts. It's open source (MIT, on GitHub with 24.6k+ stars) and used by companies like Framer, Perplexity and Superhuman, with a generous free tier and paid plans starting at $90/month for higher volume and team features.
