Dub.co nailed the developer experience, but it no longer offers a free plan - the cheapest tier is now $30/month. Revolink includes a genuine free plan plus more complete routing.
Geo and device routing - Dub.co has both. But time-based and browser-based rules? Those are Revolink-only.
Both are available in Revolink on every plan, including Free.

Dub.co is the most technically comparable platform to Revolink. Both prioritize modern design, developer experience, and privacy-aware analytics. Dub.co's open-source model is a genuine differentiator - it builds trust, enables community contributions, and allows self-hosting for teams that require it.
In terms of routing capabilities, Dub.co supports geo and device targeting but stops short of full conditional logic. There is no time-based routing, no browser-based rules, and no multi-condition rule builder. For campaigns that need scheduled redirects or complex condition chains, Revolink's routing engine is more comprehensive.
The pricing gap is now larger than it used to be. Dub.co has dropped its free plan entirely - the cheapest tier is Pro at $30/month for 1,000 links and 50,000 tracked events, evaluated only through a 14-day trial. Its next tier, Business, is $90/month for 10,000 links and 250,000 events. Revolink includes 25 links and 1,500 tracked clicks for free, with paid plans starting at $5/month.
Dub.co is the right choice for developer-centric teams with budget for a $30+/month tool who value open source, want to self-host, or need deep API integration with TypeScript SDKs. Revolink is the better choice for teams that want to start free and keep costs low as they scale.
Dub.co is a technically strong, developer-focused platform with excellent API design and open-source transparency - but it no longer offers a free plan, and its cheapest tier now starts at $30/month. Revolink includes a generous free plan, more comprehensive conditional routing, and paid plans starting at $5/month - a 6x lower entry price.
