What is the alternative to bitly?
So now people in Bangladesh are searching for the best bitly URL shortener alternative. It is heard that people in Bangladesh were using bit.ly too much. But none of them purchase subscriptions and so bit.ly has no good business deal with this country. “It is unprofessional. The free subscription of 10,000 bit.ly links was enough for some businesses. They gave this opportunity and now they suddenly stopped it. If they wanted to do business with small businesses they could release other packages too. Or they could reduce the amount of the free link. But they didn’t do that and stopped it without any notice. All of our important business links and links sent through SMS are not working anymore. And thus people facing problems with their irresponsible activities.” said a marketing officer of a renowned bank of Bangladesh.
