// EDITOR'S TAKE
Dub is the closest match to Short.io, covering branded domains, click analytics and team workspaces in one product, though it expects real infrastructure and a Next.js deployment. Shlink handles multi-domain shortening through a clean API at a fraction of the running cost but with thinner analytics, and Slugy is still early enough to suit personal links rather than a marketing team.
