// EDITOR'S TAKE
Dub is the closest feature-for-feature, covering custom domains, link analytics, QR codes and team workspaces, though you are adopting a fairly opinionated Next.js and Postgres stack. Shlink is the better pick for a small, fast, API-first redirector you can forget about, and Kutt sits between them with a simple UI and modest analytics.
