The plugin is feature rich and support is fantastic. I had some setup questions and later on some configuration issues (turned out it was operator error) and customer support was top notch. Highly recommend the plugin and the company for their commitment to their clients.

BetterLinks Pro provides my Church with excellent reporting and beautiful charts while providing us with the best redirect experience we’ve had in several years. This dev is BLOWN AWAY by the simplicity of adding and managing links in any form and can trust even the least experienced volunteer to use the plugin with ease. Other plugins don’t even come close – and we’ve tried more than a few. Save your time on other link masking and redirecting plugins, you’ll be happy with BetterLinks from the start.

I’ve tested BetterLinks, Pretty Links, and Thirsty Affiliates, and BetterLinks stands out as the best option. The dashboard is exceptionally clean, with all the features and settings I need as an affiliate. After a few weeks of testing, I upgraded to the PRO version and haven’t looked back. A couple of improvement suggestions: Direct Access to Link Stats: It would be helpful to have a direct link to each link’s stats in the main link list (e.g., example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=betterlinks-analytics&id=39). Currently, I need to switch to the Analytics section, search for the link, and then click on its details. This shortcut would save several steps. Quick Edit Access: Adding an β€œEdit” link directly on the overview page, created after using Quick Link Creation feature, would be a time-saver. It would allow direct access to edit without switching back to the WordPress Admin, searching for the link, and opening it for editing.
