Why look for a Shorby alternative?

  • You pay Shorby for marketing features — Korli does a lot for free.
  • You want to adapt the page by source, not just retarget — Korli does it natively.
  • You want to sell and capture emails directly — Shorby doesn't natively.

Korli vs Shorby — what really changes

  • Smart Rules: your page adapts to visitor source (TikTok ≠ Instagram).
  • Korli Audience: built-in CRM to capture, segment, and notify your community.
  • Full commerce: digital, physical, subscriptions, promo codes — all native.
  • EU-hosted with native GDPR (no data transfer outside EU).

Honest positioning: who picks what?

  • Shorby targets marketers (messenger links, retargeting). Strengths: retargeting pixels, messenger links. Weaknesses: paid from the start, no per-source Smart Rules, no native selling, no free CRM/push.
  • Korli fits if you want to monetize, retain, and adapt your page to each visitor without complexity.
  • Before switching: pick 1 KPI (top link CTR, revenue per visitor) and measure for 2 weeks.

Concrete example

Real case: multi-platform creator (vs Shorby)

  1. Instagram visitor: Korli puts 'Latest Reel' + 'Newsletter' first.
  2. TikTok visitor: Korli puts 'Course' + 'TIKTOK20 promo' first.
  3. Newsletter visitor: Korli puts 'Monthly offer' + 'FAQ' first.
  4. Shorby: same page for all 3 → diluted conversion.

How it works (3 steps)

  1. Create your Korli page (5 min, free, no CC) and import your links.
  2. Activate 2-3 basic Smart Rules (e.g., 'If TikTok → product X featured').
  3. Enable push notifications and measure 14 days before unplugging the old tool.

Common mistakes

  • Comparing only design — the real difference is in conversion by source.
  • Migrating without testing in parallel for 1-2 weeks.
  • Wanting to activate everything on day 1 — start simple, layer progressively.

FAQ

Does Korli have retargeting pixels like Shorby?

Yes, Korli supports retargeting, and adds what Shorby lacks: per-source Smart Rules, native selling via Stripe, and a CRM with free push.

Shorby is paid — is Korli really free?

Yes, Korli has a permanent free plan (links, page, basic stats, QR code). PRO adds advanced stats, unlimited Smart Rules and 0% sales commission.

Is Korli really different from Shorby?

Yes, on 3 axes: (1) Smart Rules to adapt your page by visitor source, (2) Korli Audience for a real built-in CRM with free push, (3) full commerce suite (digital, physical, subscription, promo codes) natively without top-tier plan.

How long to migrate?

A typical page takes 15-30 minutes (create page, import links, set 2-3 Smart Rules, enable push). Keep the old tool in parallel for 2 weeks to compare.

Is there a sales commission?

Free plan: 5% Korli commission (plus Stripe fees ~1.4% + 0.25€). PRO plan: 0% commission, just Stripe fees.
