### "Simple to use and integrate in any tech stack" — 5.0/5

> **Nuno** | *29 January 2022* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I looked for alternatives for adding shortlinks dinamically using an API and although there were several on the market, most had too much stuff I would be paying for without needing. Shorten.REST is simple to implement while keeping costs down.
> 
> **Cons**: The financial reports could be improved.

### "A full-featured URL shortner" — 4.0/5

> **HARISH** | *6 August 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I'm searching for a URL shortner which has a great API and has features which i can integrate in our business workflow and Shorten.REST helped in achieving most of our needs. 

Features like social meta, advanced tracking, Facebook pixel and GEO based redirection are the best and top-notch and we use them very often.

Their free plan is also very generous considering they are allowing a brandable domain in free plan with unlimited URL's and clicks.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish they reduce the pricing or implement new plans with needed features with affordable pricing for those who don't use all features.
> 
> Overall, i'm satisifed about the service and i hope they will implement more features and improve the overall experience.
