Linko

Linko is an all-in-one link management platform that combines branded URL shortening, link-in-bio pages, dynamic QR codes, file hosting and bot-filtered click analytics in a single dashboard.

What is Linko?

Built by founder Milad Azami and a small bootstrapped team in Delhi since late 2021, Linko bundles the tools marketers usually buy separately — Bitly-style short links, Linktree-style bio pages, a QR code generator and even branded file hosting — into one dashboard. Every asset feeds the same analytics engine, which filters out bot traffic (the vendor claims 99% of reported clicks are human) and breaks down visitors by country, city, device, browser and referrer. Beyond shortening, Linko covers geo/device/language/IP targeting, A/B rotators, retargeting pixels, UTM templates, CTA overlays and splash pages, plus a white-label client portal for agencies, with a developer API, Chrome extension and Zapier/Pabbly/Slack/WordPress integrations. The platform claims 367,000+ links created, 54 million+ clicks tracked and 10,000+ customers, and holds a 4.82/5 rating from 39 verified AppSumo reviewers alongside a perfect 5/5 from its small pool of G2 reviewers — though it has no TrustRadius listing at all. Pricing is freemium: a limited free plan, then subscriptions from $12 to $149 per month, with around 25% off on annual billing.

Who is it for?

• Affiliate marketers who need cloakable, trackable links across many offers and networks
• Content creators and influencers consolidating a bio page, QR codes and link tracking in one place
• Small marketing teams replacing separate shortener, QR and link-in-bio subscriptions
• Agencies managing client campaigns with white-label reporting and multiple branded domains
• E-commerce sellers putting trackable QR codes on packaging and print material

Who is it NOT for?

• Enterprises that need SLA-backed uptime from an established vendor — this is a sub-10-person bootstrapped company
• Teams that must keep permanent click history on lower tiers; retention windows will delete it
• Organizations whose procurement requires card-based invoicing rather than PayPal checkout
• High-volume operations running millions of tracked clicks monthly on a tight budget
