Instant shortlinks - cheap and reliable.

I built ShortForward because I was looking for a simple link shortener. Checking out the leading provider in this area, I found that they require a monthly/yearly subscription, which I find ridiculous, especially given that the cheapest monthly plan costs 35$ per month. So I built ShortForward to provide a solution for myself, first and foremost.

ShortForward provides instant short links, QR codes and analytics with a one-time lifetime purchase.
