Real-world use · runs on your own hosting
Self-hosted Bitly alternative without a monthly subscription
Which lightweight alternative is enough when you only need your own short links and click counts?
The point
Count link clicks privately on your own server
Large link platforms include many marketing features small teams rarely use. LinkTrack focuses on redirects, time ranges and totals, running on your own server for a one-time price.
A good fit when…
This tool fits if…
- You count campaign or proposal links separately.
- You want your own domain rather than third-party branding.
- Totals and time trends are sufficient.
- You do not want monthly per-link or per-user charges.
How it works
useful click counts without an external tracking stack or visitor profiles.
Create redirect links and count visits on your own server, without cookies, fingerprints or stored IP addresses.
- Install: Upload the PHP application to your HTTPS hosting and run the guided setup.
- Configure: Set your company name, branding and the options needed for this workflow.
- Use: Share the generated link and keep the result in your own installation.
What it does not replace
LinkTrack handles this one job.
So you know what to expect before you buy:
- You need comprehensive advertising attribution across many channels.
- You want to build visitor profiles or retargeting audiences.
- You cannot run your own PHP installation.
