Self-hosted alternatives to Cuttly
Cuttly is a hosted URL shortener and link management platform that also offers QR codes, link in bio pages and call to action landing pages. Two listed apps do its main job and run in your own Cloudflare account.
Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features Cuttly describes on its own site.
