Try the whole toolkit free, then own the core forever with a single $49 payment. Power extras are an optional in-app upgrade – never a subscription you're forced into.
Try the whole toolkit, on the house.
Generous one-time limits, no branding, yours forever.
Power extras – smart routing, custom domains, white-label bio pages – are an optional in-app upgrade. The core is always a one-time price.
Whooshly's one-time $49 costs less than every subscription below within one to two months. After that it stays at $0 for as long as you use the account, while a subscription keeps billing every month, forever.

It is the whole price for Core. One payment covers short links, dynamic QR codes, the UTM builder, digital business cards and link-in-bio pages, with no renewal and no expiry. The only recurring charge on the platform is the optional $9/mo Pro add-on for smart routing, custom domains and white-label bio pages, and nothing in Core stops working if you never buy it.
Nothing. Core is paid once, so there is no lapse to trigger. Your short links keep resolving and your printed QR codes keep scanning. We publish this as a written commitment on our permanence page: codes and links are never deactivated for non-payment, there are no scan caps, and no ads are ever injected into a redirect.
Yes, and it needs no credit card. Free covers 3 tracked links (short links plus QR codes), 1 digital business card, 1 link-in-bio page and 7 days of analytics. Pages made on Free carry a small “Made with Whooshly” badge. It is a real free tier rather than a trial that expires.
No. Clicks and scans are not metered. Core supports up to 10,000 campaign assets and 1,000 saved UTM templates.
You can bulk-import your list as a CSV and keep the same custom endings wherever they are still available, so a link reads identically. One thing no tool can do: an existing bit.ly URL keeps pointing at Bitly, because that domain is not yours. Importing moves your list and your endings onto a plan you own, going forward.
Neither. $49 is a single payment for the account, not a per-seat licence and not a per-link fee.
Buy Whooshly once and own your campaign links for good.
