Dub

How much does Dub cost in the UK?

Dub prices in US dollars: Pro is $30 a month, Business $90 and Advanced $300, with yearly billing taking 10% off, to $27, $81 and $270 a month. The free plan costs nothing.

Each step up raises the allowances. Pro gives 1,000 new links and 50,000 tracked events a month, three users, ten custom domains and a year of analytics. Business raises that to 10,000 links, 250,000 events, ten users, 100 domains and three years of history, and adds conversion tracking and the affiliate tools. Advanced allows 50,000 links, a million events and 20 users. Enterprise is priced by sales. UK buyers pay a sterling amount that moves with the exchange rate, and the pricing page doesn't mention VAT. Dub's FAQ says it offers full refunds if you are unhappy and lets you cancel at any time, dropping to the free plan at the end of the billing period.

Is Dub's free plan enough?

For a person or a small project, often yes. The free plan includes 25 new links and 1,000 tracked clicks a month, three custom domains, QR codes, UTM templates and API access, with 30 days of analytics.

The limits that push people to pay are the link count, the short analytics history and features such as link folders, deep links and A/B tests, which start on Pro. Conversion tracking, which ties clicks to sign-ups and sales, starts on Business at $90 a month.

Dub vs Bitly: which is better?

Dub suits teams that want attribution and affiliate programmes alongside short links, while Bitly is the longer-established choice for straightforward link shortening at scale.

Dub tracks the whole path from click to lead to sale, with Stripe and Shopify integrations, and its partner tools let a company run an affiliate or referral programme and pay partners from the same dashboard. Its core is open source under the AGPLv3 licence, so developers can inspect or self-host it. On Product Hunt, reviewers mostly praise how intuitive the interface is and how quickly support responds. For tracking who opens shared documents rather than links, Papermark is a closer fit.

Is Dub good for running an affiliate programme?

It can be for SaaS and online businesses: Dub Partners runs affiliate and referral programmes with partner sign-ups, reward rules, bounties and payouts, and starts on the Business plan.

The cost goes beyond the subscription. Business includes up to $2,500 of partner payouts a month and Advanced $15,000, both with a 5% payout fee, while Enterprise lowers the fee to 3% with no payout limit. Most of Dub's low Trustpilot reviews come from partners rather than paying customers, complaining about payout requirements such as invoices and reward amounts, so companies running a programme should make their own terms clear to partners.

How do you get Dub cheaper?

Dub states two savings: yearly billing, which takes 10% off and pays for 12 months of usage upfront, and a 25% discount for non-profits and open-source projects.

• Yearly billing cuts Pro from $30 to $27 a month and Business from $90 to $81.
• Non-profits and open-source projects can ask Dub's support team for 25% off.
• Paid plans start with a 14-day trial, so features can be tested before paying.
• Staying on the free plan works if you need fewer than 25 new links a month.

Dub also runs a startup programme, announced on its homepage, though the pricing page doesn't give its terms.
