RedirHub Free Plan: Features, Limits, and When to Upgrade

RedirHub's Free Plan is designed for one thing: giving you a fully functional redirect service without spending a dime. No credit card required, no trial clock ticking — you can stay on it forever. But like any free tier, it has limits. This guide covers exactly what you get, where the boundaries are, and how to know when you've outgrown it.

If you're new to RedirHub, start with the Free Redirect Service to get set up in under 60 seconds. This article will help you decide if the free plan is enough — or if you should upgrade.

What's Included in the Free Plan

The free plan covers the essentials for personal projects, portfolio sites, and low-traffic redirects. Here's what you get:

2 hostnames (source domains) — including www subdomains. Enough for a personal site and a side project.

100 source URL records — map up to 100 paths or pages to new destinations.

100,000 visits per month — sufficient for most personal sites and small projects.

Full HTTPS (auto SSL) — every source hostname gets automatic TLS certificates with 30-day renewal. No manual setup needed.

Frame redirects — keep your source URL displayed in the browser using an iframe, useful for branded links.

Path-based redirects — route traffic to different destinations based on the URL slug.

Where the Limits Show Up

The free plan is generous for what it is, but it's not designed for scale. Here's where you'll feel the pinch:

Domain cap: 2 hostnames. If you manage multiple clients, side projects, or separate brands, you'll hit this fast.

Traffic ceiling: 100,000 visits/month. That's about 3,300 visits per day. Fine for most personal sites, but a single post going viral or a marketing campaign launch will blow past it.

No analytics. The free plan does not include any traffic insights. You won't see click counts, referrer data, or device breakdowns. If you need to measure redirect performance, you'll need at least the Basic plan ($10/month).

No wildcards, no bulk management, no API. Wildcard domain redirects, bulk editing, tagging, CSV import/export, link expiration, and the API are all locked behind paid plans.

Signs It's Time to Upgrade

You don't need to guess — here are clear signals that you've outgrown the free plan:

You need more than 2 domains. The Basic plan gives you 15 hostnames for $10/month.

Traffic regularly exceeds 100k visits/month. The Basic plan bumps you to 1 million visits/month for $10/month.

You need analytics. If you're running marketing campaigns or tracking SEO migrations, you need data. Basic analytics start at $10/month.

You want to automate redirect management. The API, bulk management, and wildcard redirects are available on the Pro plan ($30/month) — essential for developers and agencies.

You need team collaboration. The free plan is single-user. Team members and shared projects are available on paid plans.
