Simpler, Cheaper, GDPR-Compliant
Rebrandly is a feature-rich link management tool from Italy. But: complex pricing, unclear hosting, and cookies for analytics. Smoio offers the essentials - transparent and GDPR-compliant.

Rebrandly uses globally distributed AWS infrastructure. Where exactly your data ends up is not transparent. EU-only hosting is only available in the expensive Enterprise plan.
Rebrandly charges by "Tracked Clicks" with hidden limits. The Starter plan ($13) only has 5,000 tracked clicks - after that, it gets expensive quickly.
Rebrandly uses cookies for advanced analytics. This requires cookie consent and makes GDPR compliance more complicated.
Smoio hosts exclusively in Frankfurt. No global infrastructure, no uncertainty, no hidden data transfers.
With Smoio, you pay €19-99/month with clear limits. No "tracked vs. untracked" confusion, no hidden costs.
Smoio tracks completely without cookies. No consent needed, no banner, no GDPR gray area.
Rebrandly is an established provider with many enterprise features. If you need complex link routing rules, A/B testing, or deep linking, Rebrandly might be the right choice. For GDPR-focused, simple link tracking, Smoio is the leaner alternative.
