Every favi.st link can be repointed whenever you want, so printed QR codes and links you already sent stay correct. And the analytics count people, with machine traffic reported on its own.
Everything below describes what we are building. Nothing here is live yet.
Durable by design
Print it on a poster in March and it can still be right in December. One address, a history of destinations, and nothing broken along the way.
Shared once. Never reissued.
Thirty seconds
No workspace to set up, no domain to buy, no analytics to wire. Three steps and the address is permanent.
Any public address becomes a favi.st link in one tap, with your campaign tags applied automatically.
Post it, print it, hand out the QR. That address is permanent, so anything you send stays good.
Repoint the destination, route by country or device, and read the visits that were actually human.
Your own address
Other shorteners hand you a random code and then sell you a branded domain to escape it. On Favist the namespace is the product: one address people recognize, readable child links under it, and a single timeline behind all of them.
And it opens something real. A favi.st name points at your Favist profile by default, so it already carries your bio, your channels and everything you have collected. A link-in-bio page is a list of links on somebody else's site. This is an address you own, with a home behind it, that you can also run on your own domain.
Short, neutral and resolved at the edge. The recipient pays no branding tax.
A durable personal address you own and can repoint at will. It opens your Favist profile until you tell it otherwise.
Readable per-campaign links under your name, all reporting to one timeline.
Only on Favist
Every other shortener ends at a redirect. A Favist SmartLink can carry the recommendation itself, so whoever opens it can save the record, the restaurant or the whole list into their own Favist and find it again later.

Honest analytics
Favist classifies every visit before it counts. People are measured, AI assistants are reported on their own so you can see who is citing you, and crawlers and preview bots are free.
People. Counted. These are the visits worth understanding.
AI assistants. Reported on their own, so you can see who is citing you.
Crawlers and previews. Free. They never reach your bill and never move a chart.
An illustration of how the meter works, not measured data. Your own mix depends entirely on where a link is shared.
The quota question
On a busy link, a large share of hits are crawlers, chat previews and uptime checks. Whether they land inside the meter is the whole difference.
You pay for traffic that never read anything
Machine traffic stops costing you anything at all
What it does
The whole plan, with every item marked for what it actually is. Nothing here is claimed as shipped, because nothing here has shipped.
Turn any valid public link into a fast favi.st SmartLink.
Sharing something already in Favist never counts against a link allowance.
Reaching an analytics allowance reduces what gets measured. It never stops a link from resolving.
Repoint a SmartLink without changing the short URL or losing its history.
Every SmartLink has a QR code. Change where it points and printed codes follow.
Save campaign presets once, apply them in a tap, see the exact final URL.
Send people to different destinations by country, device, language or time.
A durable personal address you can repoint at will, with recognizable child links under it.
Bots, preview crawlers and uptime checks are separated out so the numbers reflect real visits.
See which AI assistants read your link and how many people arrived from an AI answer.
When Favist recognizes a song, product, place, book or film, the link can open the service the recipient actually uses.
Whoever opens your link can keep the recommendation, and remember who sent it.
Every recommendation you have been sent, searchable, instead of lost in a chat thread.
Favist takes no share of commissions you earn through your own accounts.
Where a merchant relationship exists and its terms allow it, opt in and Favist monetizes eligible recommendations for you.
Publish an offer, let other people promote it, and see sales and commissions in one place.
Connect clicks to verified outcomes on sites you control.
Use your own domain instead of favi.st.
Create and measure links from your own code, or from the Favist assistant.
Split traffic across two destinations on the same short link and see which one wins.
Every destination is scanned before a link goes live, and rescanned on repoint, so a favi.st link stays something people can trust.
A favi.st name points at your Favist profile by default, so it carries your bio, your channels and everything you have collected rather than an empty redirect.
A machine-readable description of what sits behind a link, so an assistant can answer with it, cite it, and act on it instead of guessing from a redirect.
Where it earns its keep
The same primitive, pointed at very different problems.
Posters, menus, packaging, stickers. The QR is pressed once and the destination keeps moving.
One address in your bio that becomes the pre-save, then the release, then the tour, without a new post each time.
Send a list of places, records or reads. Whoever opens it can keep the whole thing rather than just click through.
See when assistants and crawlers fetch your link, kept separate from the people who actually arrived.
What stands behind it
Telling people to print a link is a serious thing to ask. Here is what sits behind that.
A claimed favi.st name renews on its own cycle. Changing plans does not take it away, and we warn you long before a renewal that anything printed depends on.
One shared domain is one thing that can go wrong. A second is held in reserve so links can be answered from it if favi.st is ever blocked somewhere.
Every destination is checked before it goes live and rechecked when it changes. A domain everyone shares only stays clickable if it is defended.
Passing your tracked-visit allowance changes how much gets measured. It never stops a link from resolving, on any plan.
Pricing
Allowances shape how much gets measured. A SmartLink is never switched off because of a usage limit. A tracked visit is one visit from a real person that your plan keeps detailed analytics for. These are planned prices and may change before launch.

Comparison
We will publish a feature comparison once Smart Link Sharing ships, and only for the parts that have actually shipped. Until then, here is where the market stands, in each provider's own published terms.
Strong modern attribution and partner infrastructure. Annual plans also grant usage upfront.
Brand recognition and an enterprise link and QR platform. Clicks are unlimited on every tier.
The strongest price pressure on commodity shortening and routing. Do not compete on quota alone.
Competitor figures were read from each published pricing page on 2026-08-20 and are re-verified at least every 90 days. They are never scraped at render time and never guessed, so check the source before you decide.
