LinkTrace is for teams that need control, attribution context,

You May Ask
Understand the product boundary, the pricing path,and where LinkTrace fits your workflow.
LinkTrace is a link attribution and analytics platform for creators, growth teams, SaaS companies, agencies, and self-hosted teams that want short URLs, UTM control, preview metadata, and click reporting in one place.
Community is intended to be fully usable, not a teaser. It covers core link management, short redirects, UTM management, metadata cards, click analytics, workspaces, members, API basics, QR basics, and self-hosted deployment.
Community is the open-source, self-hosted product. Cloud is the hosted path for teams that want LinkTrace managed for them, with deployment, operations, and rollout handled without running the stack themselves.
Yes. Self-hosting is part of the Community story. The product is designed so teams can run the open-source core themselves, while Cloud exists for teams that want the hosted path.
Because the job is larger than shortening a URL. LinkTrace treats links as managed traffic entry points, with attribution context, metadata control, team ownership, and analytics built into the same workflow.
Start with Community if you want to self-host and evaluate the open-source core on your own stack. Choose Cloud if your team wants a managed rollout and does not want to operate the infrastructure itself.
Bring every link into one system
Create, annotate, share, and measure links without splitting the workflow
across shorteners, docs, and analytics tools.
