Stop giving free marketing to a generic shortener. Dub puts your own domain and real-time data behind every link you share.
Creators use Dub for branded custom-domain links (available even on the free plan) and real-time analytics — see clicks, locations and referrers the moment you post.
If you monetise through affiliate or referral programs, Dub also tracks your earnings against real revenue and, for programs built on Dub Partners, shows stats in an embedded dashboard.
Every time you share a bit.ly-style link, you're promoting someone else's brand. Dub lets you use your own custom domain from the free plan, so your links look professional and build your brand instead.
The analytics are the other draw: post a link and watch clicks arrive in real time, with location and referrer data. For creators optimising content and channels, that immediate feedback loop is genuinely useful — and rare on free tiers.
