Shopmycode vs Bitly — which fits what you are doing?
Bitly is a link-management tool: short links, branded domains, QR codes and click analytics for teams that need many links. Shopmycode is a live referral platform for any link where brands fund results and marketers are paid as they happen. Here is how the two differ, point by point.
Bitly
- Clicks and scans
- Not tracked
- None
- One team's links
Shopmycode
- Opens, people, pages, results — and who is on the page now
- Sign-ups, installs, orders attributed to the link
- Rewards to marketers from a brand's locked budget
- Brands and the people who share for them, each with their own numbers
Point by point
Where each one works, what you see, when money moves, what it costs, and how they sit together.
What is counted
Bitly counts clicks and scans, with useful breakdowns. Shopmycode counts opens with the platform and city, people rather than clicks, the pages they are on, and results — sign-ups, installs, orders — attributed to the link.
Results and money
Bitly does not know whether a click became a customer, and does not move money. Shopmycode attributes the result to the link and, for brand offers, pays the marketer's reward from the brand's locked budget the moment the result is counted.
Who it is for
Bitly is for one team's links. Shopmycode is for a brand and the people who share for it, each with their own numbers, and for marketers who want any link tracked and brand offers in one place.
Branded links, QR, previews
Both offer branded short links and QR codes. Shopmycode adds link previews you can personalise, app-store hand-off for app links, and ready-made messages for WhatsApp.
Price
Bitly is priced per plan for the team. Shopmycode is free for marketers for life; brands track for free and pay ₹4,999 + GST a year only when they fund campaigns with rewards.
Using both
Teams often keep Bitly for internal and campaign links and use Shopmycode wherever a link needs to become a result someone is paid for.
Where Shopmycode differs most from Bitly
Bitly tells you a link was clicked. Shopmycode tells you who is on the page now, where the open came from, whether it became a sign-up or an order, and pays the person who brought it.

You can use both
Many marketers keep their network accounts and add Shopmycode for live numbers and brand offers.
Honest limits
Some apps hide where a tap came from; what happens inside a native app is invisible unless the app reports it.

No plan, no cut of the reward; the brand pays the platform fee.
