RedirectIQ vs RedirHub (2026): Pricing, Rule Limits & Best Fit
RedirectIQ is the lower-cost choice for a redirect-only portfolio. RedirHub costs more but adds migration-link capacity, unlimited requests, broader link infrastructure and stronger automation.
We build RedirHub. We point out where RedirectIQ is the better buy, and how to check against your own setup.
The short answer
Choose RedirHub if
- You need explicit capacity for hundreds or thousands of migration mappings
- You want unlimited request volume
- You want branded links and QR codes alongside redirects
- You need multiple collaborators, monitoring, multi-target routing or MCP-based management
Choose RedirectIQ if
- You mainly need hosted redirects
- Domain count drives the workload and low recurring cost matters most
- You value traffic-derived suggestions for missed 404 paths
- For a large migration, you confirm its current rule allowance before moving DNS
Compare the workload before the feature list#
Both products can host redirects without making you maintain a web server. Both publish automatic SSL, CSV import, analytics, an API, and path-based rules. The useful buying question is not whether either product can return a 301. It is how many domains, source mappings, requests, and collaborators your redirect operation actually needs.
| Job | RedirectIQ | RedirHub |
|---|---|---|
| Small redirect-only portfolio | Hobby: $2/month for 10 domains | Core: $49/month for 25 domains and 2,500 managed links |
| 100 redirect-only domains | Pro: $20/month for up to 100 domains | Core plus domain capacity: $89/month for 100 domains |
| 500 changed-path migration mappings | Public pages conflict on the effective paid rule allowance; verify before buying | Fits inside Core's 2,500 managed links |
| Traffic billing | Included volume plus per-million overage | Unlimited requests on Core, Pro, and Enterprise |
| Broader link jobs | Focused on redirect management | Redirects, branded links, dynamic QR codes, and migration mappings |
Our call
Choose RedirectIQ when the job is inexpensive hosted redirects across a known set of domains.
Choose RedirHub when you need predictable capacity for many individual mappings, unlimited request volume, or one operating layer for redirects, branded links, QR codes, monitoring, teams, and AI-assisted management.
RedirectIQ's strongest advantage is domain pricing#
RedirectIQ's current pricing page[1] shows Hobby at $2/month for 10 domains, Pro at $20/month for 100 domains, and Agency at $200/month for 1,000 domains. All three are monthly prices; its annual option is presented as two months free.
RedirHub's current pricing[2] starts at $49/month for Core with 25 domains and 2,500 managed links. Expanding Core to 100 domains adds $40/month, for a total of $89/month. A managed link is one active branded link, dynamic QR destination, or website-migration source-to-destination mapping.
That creates two clear outcomes:
- 25 root domains plus their matching www versions RedirectIQ Pro is $20/month and has room for up to 100 domains. RedirHub Core is $49/month for 25 domains. RedirHub documents[3] a root domain automatically covering its matching www version, and RedirectIQ documents grouping apex plus www as one domain in its changelog, so this example does not double-count domain pairs.
- 100 redirect-only domains RedirectIQ Pro remains $20/month. RedirHub Core with the 100-domain capacity step is $89/month.
For these domain-only workloads, RedirectIQ is materially cheaper. Buying RedirHub only makes sense if the extra capacity and operating features solve a job you actually have.
The migration-rule limit needs verification#
A domain allowance does not tell you how many changed URLs a migration can map. This is where RedirectIQ's current public documentation stops being internally consistent.
Its domain-migration page[4] says Hobby caps out at 100 rules. Its legacy URL cleanup page[5] describes Pro as having 250 rules. But RedirectIQ's own comparison with RedirHub[6] says paid-plan redirect rules are effectively uncapped. Its changelog[7] also contains different CSV batch figures across releases, including 500 and 10,000 rules.
This does not prove that the product cannot handle a large migration. It means the public pages do not support a dependable plan recommendation for a 500-rule workload today.
A concrete example makes the difference:
- A migration with 500 changed source paths on one domain uses 500 RedirHub managed links and fits inside Core's public 2,500-link allowance at $49/month.
- The same workload on RedirectIQ may fit Pro, may require another allowance, or may be governed by a limit not visible on the main pricing page. Confirm the effective rule cap in the dashboard or checkout before moving DNS.

Calculate your setupDecision
If your migration uses one catch-all rule because every path stays the same, RedirectIQ's lower domain price is compelling.
If hundreds of paths changed individually, RedirHub gives you a clearer public capacity calculation.
Traffic cost: metered versus unlimited#
RedirectIQ's pricing FAQ publishes overage rates of $1 per million redirects on Hobby, $0.80 per million on Pro, and $0.50 per million on Agency. Its own RedirHub comparison says Pro includes two million redirects per month before overage, but that included amount is not shown in the main plan cards. Verify the current allowance when traffic volume affects the decision.
RedirHub's approved packaging includes unlimited requests on every paid plan. That does not automatically make it cheaper. At moderate volume, RedirectIQ's low subscription plus overage may still cost less. The value of RedirHub is cost certainty when redirect traffic is high or volatile.
Redirect operations and automation#
RedirectIQ's getting-started documentation[8] covers A or CNAME setup, automatic SSL, dashboard rule management, and CSV import. Its API reference[9] documents versioned endpoints for domains and 301 or 302 rules, including path passthrough and query passthrough. RedirectIQ also promotes suggestions derived from real traffic landing on 404s, which is a useful cleanup workflow after a migration.
RedirHub also supports automatic HTTPS, CSV import and export, redirect analytics, and a REST API. Its distinction is broader automation and control: Core includes API and MCP access, three team members, and 90 days of click and scan data. Pro adds 250 domains, 10,000 managed links, unlimited team members, six months of analytics history, link-health monitoring, an audit log, and Random or Sequential multi-target routing.
There is one more RedirectIQ documentation conflict to check. Its agency page[10] describes roles and permissions, while its own RedirHub comparison calls RedirectIQ a single-account product. Buyers who need multiple editors, read-only access, or client separation should verify the current implementation rather than relying on either statement alone.
Which product fits each job?#
Forward a few domains at the lowest recurring cost
Its $2 Hobby tier covers 10 domains and includes automatic SSL.
Run 25 to 100 redirect-only domains
Pro's $20 monthly domain allowance is far below the equivalent RedirHub domain capacity.
Map 500 individually changed URLs
RedirHub Core publicly includes 2,500 mappings; RedirectIQ's current rule-limit pages conflict.
Keep request cost flat during unpredictable traffic spikes
Paid plans include unlimited requests rather than metered overage.
Manage redirects, branded links, and dynamic QR codes together
Those jobs share one platform and an explicit managed-link capacity model.
Find missed 404 paths from real redirect traffic
Its product positioning makes traffic-derived suggestions a central workflow.
Use an AI agent to manage redirect infrastructure
Its public MCP server complements the REST API.
Choose RedirHub for explicit migration capacity
Get capacity for hundreds or thousands of migration mappings, unlimited request volume, branded links and QR codes alongside redirects, multiple collaborators, monitoring, multi-target routing, and MCP-based management.

For redirect-only portfolios, yes. RedirectIQ currently starts at $2/month for 10 domains, while RedirHub Core starts at $49/month for 25 domains and 2,500 managed links. The products stop being directly comparable when a buyer needs hundreds of individual mappings, unlimited requests, branded links, QR codes, monitoring, or multiple collaborators.
RedirectIQ explicitly targets domain migrations and legacy URL cleanup. It supports CSV import, catch-all rules, and path mappings. Before a large migration, confirm the effective redirect-rule allowance because its current first-party pages describe that limit differently.
No. Its pricing FAQ publishes per-million overage rates for paid plans. RedirHub's paid plans include unlimited requests.
Yes. RedirectIQ documents automatic SSL after DNS connection. RedirHub also includes automatic HTTPS on its paid plans.
RedirHub Core publicly includes 2,500 managed links, so 500 source-to-destination mappings fit. RedirectIQ's public pages conflict on the paid rule allowance, so verify that capacity directly before choosing it for the same workload.
No. RedirectIQ emphasizes discovering traffic that lands on missing paths and turning those suggestions into rules. RedirHub Pro's approved claim is destination link-health monitoring and alerts. They address different failure modes.
