Why people leave Bitly

10 links/month cap

Bitly's free plan resets to zero every month. Run a single campaign and you're already at your limit.

QR codes cost extra

On Bitly, QR codes are a paid feature starting at $8/month. On scn.st, every link gets a free QR code.

No link-in-bio on free

Bitly doesn't offer a link-in-bio product. You'd need a separate tool — and another subscription.
