Tracked clicks are a soft limit: your links keep redirecting past it. Plans and prices as of October 12, 2026. All prices in USD. No ads on a redirect, no overage bill, QR codes and a full copy of your account on every plan. Need more than Business? Talk to us.
Go over the click allowance, and links keep working
Tracked clicks are a soft allowance, not a shutter. Past it, links redirect and keep counting, and there is no overage price. On Free, tracking pauses above 10× the allowance until the month resets.

Soft limit: your links keep redirecting past it. We let you know when you are close and suggest a plan that fits.
How each limit behaves: when it resets, and what happens at the cap
When a limit resets
- Resets when the plan renews (the 1st of the month on Free).
- Links / monthTracked clicks / month
- Does not reset. A standing ceiling, not a monthly counter.
- Custom domainsUTM presetsBulk CSV rows / importAnalytics historyTeam seatsLink-in-bio pagesWebhook endpointsFoldersTagsSaved analytics viewsShared analytics reports
- Spent once. It does not refill.
- One-time import allowance
- Resets when the hour rolls over.
- API calls / hour
- Resets on the 1st of each calendar month, UTC, regardless of the renewal date.
- Webhook deliveries / month
- Does not reset. Counted per page, not across the workspace.
- Links per bio page
- Does not reset. Counted per link, not across the workspace.
- Smart routing rules / link
What happens at the cap
- Links / month
- The create form offers an upgrade instead of a Create button. Existing links keep working.
- Tracked clicks / month
- Nothing breaks. You get an alert. Tracked clicks are a soft allowance: links keep redirecting and keep being tracked past it: never a wall, never a paused link. On Free, tracking pauses above 10× the allowance until the month resets; the links still redirect.
- Custom domains
- The add form is replaced by a limit notice. Verified domains keep serving.
- API calls / hour
- Requests are refused until the hour rolls over.
- Team seats
- You cannot invite anyone else. Existing members are unaffected.
- Link-in-bio pages
- You cannot create another. Published pages stay published.
The billing charter
What a plan does when you go over it, change it or leave, each with the figure or clause behind it.
- Go past a quota and every link you have already shared still resolves. Limits apply to creating new links.
- Links keep redirecting past a quota
- limits creation only
- No interstitials and no branding pages, on any plan including Free, and none added later to links already shared.
- No ads on any link
- every plan
- Change where a link goes as often as you like, on every plan. The change applies on the next click.
- Edit destinations freely
- unmetered
- Go past the monthly figure and nothing breaks: links redirect and keep counting. On Free, tracking pauses above 10× the allowance until the month resets; the links still redirect.
- Tracked clicks are a soft allowance
- soft · Free pauses tracking at 10×
- A change to a price or an allowance applies to new sign-ups first. An existing subscriber keeps those terms for at least 12 months from the announcement, and through the end of a paid annual term. We email at least 30 days before it applies.
- Plan changes are not retroactive
- Terms: Subscriptions & billing
- Click history is kept for a stated number of days per plan, and the number is in the comparison above.
- Retention is published
- Free 30 · Starter 90 · Pro 365 · Business 730
- Cancel, downgrade or switch billing intervals from the billing page. Paid access runs to the end of the period you paid for.
- Cancel yourself, in two clicks
- self-serve

Questions, answered
Which plan do I need?
Start with how many links you create a month, which is the first limit most people reach: Free covers 30, Starter 500, Pro 2,000 and Business 10,000. Then check the comparison for the capabilities you need, such as webhooks or smart routing, which start on a named plan.
What happens when I hit the link limit?
Your billing dashboard tracks usage against the cap as you go. At the cap, creating new links is blocked and the message names the cheapest plan that raises it. Links you created before it keep redirecting, and the cap resets with your billing month.
What happens past the tracked-click allowance?
Your links keep redirecting and keep being counted: it is a soft allowance, not a shutter. If a workspace stays far above its plan for a sustained period we suggest a plan that fits. On Free, tracking pauses above 10× the allowance until the month resets; the links themselves keep redirecting. The one limit that stops a redirect is a click cap or expiry you set on a link yourself.
Are there limits that are not in the comparison?
Yes, a few that work as safeguards rather than plan features. You can create 1 workspace, and be a member of as many as you are invited to. Each person can hold 20 API keys across every workspace they belong to. Creating links is paced per person: 20 an hour on Free and 200 an hour on a paid plan, with bulk actions at 5 and 50 an hour. These are the limits we apply today, not promises about future ones, and if your work needs more than any of them, tell us.
Is there a trial?
No. The Free plan is the way to try ShortZen: it has no time limit and needs no card. It is the plan you stay on until you outgrow it, not a trial with a countdown attached.
Do you charge per seat?
We do not bill per seat: the plan price is the whole price. Free and Starter are single-user plans, so inviting teammates starts on Pro, which includes 3; Business includes 10. Adding someone within your plan's seats does not change the bill. On Business, seats count editors, and the plan also includes 10 viewers (read-only members) who do not use one.
How does yearly billing work?
You pay for the year up front, which costs 10 months for the year: 2 months free. Switch cadence whenever you like from your billing settings; the change is prorated.
What happens to my links if I downgrade or cancel?
Your existing short links keep redirecting after a downgrade or a cancellation. Limits apply to creating new links, and plan features such as smart routing stop applying below the plan that includes them.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from your billing page in two clicks. Paid access runs to the end of the period you paid for, and a full copy of your account is yours to take, on every plan.

Move up when a campaign outgrows it, and cancel whenever you like.
