[The analytics](https://getklyk.io/en/link-analytics). ### Your domain, at no extra cost Your links on `go.yourbrand.com`, with HTTPS handled for you. [The custom domain](https://getklyk.io/en/custom-domain). ### Editable destinations Change where a link leads, or a QR code already in print, as often as you need. [The dynamic QR code](https://getklyk.io/en/dynamic-qr-code). ### Visitors nobody follows No cookies, no ad IDs, no IP addresses kept. The data stays in Germany. ### Deep links included YouTube, Instagram or Spotify open in their app, on any link. [The deep links](https://getklyk.io/en/deep-links). ### Routing and A/B tests A destination by country, device or language, and weighted variants to compare two pages. ## When Bitly is still the better choice Klyk is young, and does not do everything. Better to know before you choose. ### Large teams Bitly offers shared workspaces, group permissions and dedicated support. Klyk is built today for one person or a small team. ### Ready-made integrations Bitly plugs into many tools on the market. Klyk does not offer any yet. ### A very long history Bitly’s top plans keep click detail for up to a year. Klyk keeps it for 90 days, and keeps daily totals beyond that. ## Moving from Bitly to Klyk ### 1. Create your account Free, no card required. Add your domain if you have one. ### 2.
