* Custom aliases such as wurl.us/your-name require a verified, current paid Pro subscription. Name availability and screening apply. Trials don’t qualify, and aliases stop redirecting when paid eligibility ends.
Yes. Create a Free account to start shortening and managing your links. Registration and sign-in are required to create short links; no credit card is needed. Anyone can follow a shared WURL without an account.
How do the link limits work?+
Your plan limits the number of active links in your workspace: 100 on Free and 2,000 on Pro. This is not a monthly allowance. Deactivating a link frees an active-link slot and stops that link from redirecting; reactivating it uses a slot again. New accounts and high-volume creation are also subject to daily account and network limits.
What happens when I reach my limit?+
You’ll need to free a slot or upgrade before creating or reactivating another link. Reaching the active-link limit doesn’t itself turn off your existing links. Account restrictions and the paid-eligibility rules for custom aliases and WURL subdomains still apply.
Can I subscribe to Pro now?+
The subscription plan is not available yet.
Can I use my own domain?+
A current paid Pro subscription includes one WURL subdomain per workspace, such as acme.wurl.us. Free plans, free Pro access and trials don’t qualify. Choose your name in Account settings, then select it when creating links. Your existing link allowance applies. Names are permanent and subject to availability; email verification is required. Subdomain redirects stop when paid eligibility ends, and your name stays reserved. Customer-owned domains such as go.acme.com aren’t included. A custom alias is the name after the slash and also requires paid Pro eligibility.
Can I cancel a paid subscription?+
Yes. Use your account’s subscription controls to schedule cancellation at the end of your paid period. Paid access continues through that date. Afterward, Free plan limits apply, and custom aliases and WURL subdomains require renewed paid eligibility.
Does shortening a link make it private?+
No. Anyone with a shared WURL can follow it. Destination encryption protects stored data; it doesn’t password-protect the public link. Read our Privacy notice for how we handle links and activity data.
