Overview

Branded short links with keyword auto-linking, split testing and geographic routing, from the makers of MemberPress.

What it does

Pretty Links turns any URL into a branded short link on your domain and tracks every click. It began as a general link shortener for WordPress and grew into a full affiliate link manager, backed by Caseproof, the company behind MemberPress and Easy Affiliate. Reviews average 4.8 out of 5 across more than 1,100 ratings.

The free plugin handles cloaking, categories, tags and click reports. Pro adds the automation: auto-linking of keywords across your content, split-test redirects that rotate destinations and report which converts, and routing by geography or time so the same link can point to different offers for different readers. Add-ons cover product displays, a UTM builder and QR code generation for print and video.

Pricing is annual by site count. Beginner is $99.60 for one site, Marketer is $149.60 for two and Super Affiliate is $199.60 for five, each listed against a higher regular price, with a 14-day no-questions refund.

Pretty Links and ThirstyAffiliates overlap almost completely on cloaking and auto-linking. Pretty Links pulls ahead on split testing and general short-link use (social, email, print); ThirstyAffiliates pulls ahead on Amazon importing, link health checks and WooCommerce. Pick on those differences rather than on price, which is identical.
