Questions, answered
- Is ndle free?
- Yes. The free plan has 100 active links, 1 custom domain and unlimited QR codes, and every link is checked every 30 minutes. No card needed.
- Do ndle links expire?
- Not unless you give one an expiry date. Links on a free account keep working. Guest links, made without an account, last 7 days.
- Are there ads on ndle links?
- No. A click goes straight to your page, with no ad or preview page in between.
- How often does ndle check my links?
- Every 30 minutes. When a check fails, ndle emails you, and emails again once the link works.
- What counts as a broken link?
- A page that's gone (404 or 410), a server error, a timeout or failed connection, or a broken SSL certificate. Slow responses are flagged too.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. The free plan includes one custom domain, like go.yourbrand.com.
- Do ndle QR codes stop working?
- No. A ndle QR code opens your short link, so it keeps working as long as the link does. There's no trial to run out.
