Made for links in video descriptions

General link shorteners count clicks. LickityClick connects them to your videos.

Clicks next to views

Connect your channel and your recent uploads come in automatically. Each video shows its views beside the clicks on your links, so you get link click-through rate without a spreadsheet.

Catch dead links fast

Sponsors change landing pages without telling you. Link Health checks every destination and emails you when one breaks, so an old video doesn't keep sending people to an error page.

Your domain, not ours

Links like yourname.link/gear are easier to read in a description and easier to say out loud. One custom domain is included.

How it works

Questions

What's the best URL shortener for YouTube?

One that puts links on your own domain and shows clicks for each video. That's the job LickityClick is built for. If you only need a quick free link and don't care about the numbers, a free shortener is fine.

Can I see which video a click came from?

Yes. Give each video its own short link, or connect YouTube and LickityClick matches your short links to the videos they appear in.

Do I need my own domain?

No. You can start on our shared domain and add your own when you're ready. One custom domain is included in the plan.

How much does it cost?

$7 a month or $70 a year. Every feature is included, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card.
