Sniply


Sniply was one of the first tools to popularize "content curation with a purpose," allowing you to leverage the authority of big publications to drive your own conversions. Its recent acquisition by UpContent signals stability, and features like A/B testing and custom domain support make it a robust choice for serious marketers.
Sniply operates on a tiered subscription model (Basic, Pro, Business) with monthly or annual billing options. A 14-day free trial is available for new users, though the previously offered "free forever" plan has been discontinued.
New users can try any plan risk-free with a 14-day free trial. There is generally no refund policy for subscription fees once paid, so it's best to cancel before the trial or renewal period ends.
Sniply is a mature tool founded in 2014, making it a veteran in the link management space. It has a large established user base and was acquired in 2023 by UpContent, ensuring continued development and support.

Unlike standard link shorteners (like Bitly) that just track clicks, Sniply leverages those clicks to display your own message on the destination site. While it costs more than basic shorteners, the ability to "hijack" third-party content for your own conversions offers a higher potential ROI for active curators.
- Support is available via a ticketing system and email (
team@snip.ly), typically responding within 2 business days. - A comprehensive Help Center covers setup, troubleshooting, and integrations.
- Community support is visible through active social media channels and past AppSumo deal discussions.
- Does not work on websites that use "X-Frame-Options" to block iframes (e.g., many major news sites, Facebook, etc.).
- No longer offers a free tier; users must subscribe to a paid plan after the trial.
- "Form Snips" and other advanced features are often locked behind higher pricing tiers.
