QRDone vs Bitly
Bitly is the original short-link company and bundles QR codes alongside its link shortener. It is enterprise-grade for link management, with deep analytics and team workflows. For a single QR code on a flyer, that surface is overkill, and it is paid past a small free quota.

- Branded short domains require Enterprise pricing.
- Dashboard is built around the link, not the code's visual design.
