Shlink

Spain EU Open source Free plan GitHub

This product is listed as “Self-hosted & Open Source”, which is why it does not necessarily have to be European.

Shlink is a self-hosted open-source URL shortener written in PHP and released under the MIT license. It has been developed since 2016, mainly by Alejandro Celaya from Spain. Rather than being a hosted service, it runs on the user's own server, for example from the official Docker image, and serves short links on one or more of the user's own domains. Links are managed through a REST API, a command-line tool or the separate open-source Shlink web client, and they can be edited, tagged, limited in time or number of visits and redirected differently depending on the visitor's device. Every visit is recorded with details such as referrer and browser, and an optional GeoLite2 database adds the visitor's approximate location. QR codes can be generated for any short link.

Pricing

Shlink is free open-source software under the MIT license. There is no hosted plan, so the only costs are those of running it on your own server.

URLR

France EU EU hosted Free plan

URLR is a URL shortener from Orléans, France, that has been developed since 2019 and is aimed mainly at companies and public organizations. Short links run either on the urlr.me domain or on a domain or subdomain that the customer already owns. Links can be edited after creation, organized in folders, protected with a password, given an expiry date or routed by visitor location. The service also generates QR codes whose destination can be changed later without printing a new code. A central dashboard shows visits, unique visitors and the split between clicks and QR scans over time. A REST API, webhooks and integrations such as Zapier allow links to be created automatically, and the interface is available in six languages.

France EU Free plan

Nemorius is a URL shortener from Paris, France, that was previously known as LC.CX and has been creating short links since 2009. Short links run on the lc.cx domain or, after a simple DNS change, on the customer's own domain. Besides shortening links, the platform creates QR codes, simple landing pages and forms whose responses can be viewed and exported from a dashboard. Audience reports show how links and QR codes perform in campaigns, and scheduled reports and link monitoring are available for larger teams. An API and integrations with production and project management tools allow links and QR codes to be created in bulk.
