    BL.INK
    I am using Bl.INK for most of my marketing projects and campaigns. There are various tasks where BL.INK performs well like sharing surveys , PDF's, messaging, QR Codes and so on.. Its not only helps to export shorten links but also helps for retargeting and tracking. The best part is that you can easily work on insights as it provides in-depth Analytics. Well suited for multiple marketing campaigns, Google AdWords, Social Media Marketing, Affiliate marketing as you need to track so many thing to create reports and data. If you want to build a brand its not suited well because there is no such option to customize domain I've found

    Short.cm is best suited where you need to type something with a character limit and you can't afford to add long links. Instead, you can shorten the link using Short.cm and paste it into the messaging app. Example: Twitter has a character limit for tweets. Short.cm is less appropriate for apps like Gmail, Slack, etc that have an inbuilt hyperlinking mechanism making Short.cm's usage is very minimal. (My personal experience).

    Cons
    BL.INK
    • Pricing is an issue if you upgrade to Pro OR Business plan.
    • when you share any shortened link to social media the resulted post sometimes missed the attached media or it shows a blank preview. May be it a technical glitch but happens with me sometimes.

    Short.io is much more versatile compared to Bitly, in addition to having the option to change the language to Spanish, Short.io has better accessibility, and more options to provide people looking for a page that provides them with information as vital as the clicks on the links, being the strongest reason to choose short that has Spanish language and is easier to use.
