Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer link tracking and campaign reporting to small businesses, using branded short links on each client's own domain.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Replace a paid short-link subscription with branded links on your own domain, with click tracking
- Measure which marketing campaigns, affiliates or partners produce sign-ups and sales
Can you use it commercially?
No standard licence detected. Read the licence before using it commercially.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
It is a Next.js monorepo run with Node and pnpm, and the README points to a separate self-hosting guide that relies on several outside services such as a database, Redis and Tinybird analytics.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licence is flagged as unclear: mostly AGPLv3, but an /ee folder needs a commercial licence
- Self-hosting depends on several third-party services (database, Redis, Tinybird, and others) that may cost money
- AGPLv3 terms may matter if you modify and offer it as a service
