La meilleure alternative à Dub pour les équipes marketing

Yes. Dub (dub.co) is one of the strongest modern link management platforms, especially for developers. It is open source, has excellent SDKs and API documentation, and a fast, well-designed dashboard. The question is not whether Dub is good, but whether it is built for you. Dub is developer-first: its strengths are SDKs, self-hosting, and building link infrastructure into your own product. UseClick.io is built for marketers and small teams who want branded links, website analytics, QR codes, and a link-in-bio page in one dashboard without writing code, with privacy-first tracking that needs no cookie consent banner.

Three structural differences stand out. First, the audience: Dub is designed for developers (SDKs, open source, API-first workflows), while UseClick.io is designed for marketers and small teams working entirely in the dashboard. Second, the pricing model: Dub meters new links per month and tracked events (clicks, leads, and sales share one quota), so a viral month can consume your allowance. UseClick.io counts total links and monthly clicks with flat, predictable tiers. Third, the scope: Dub focuses on link management, while UseClick.io bundles link management with cookie-free website analytics, link-in-bio pages, and QR codes under one subscription and one privacy policy.

Dub's paid plans meter two things: how many new links you can create per month and how many events you can track per month, where clicks, lead conversions, and sale conversions all draw from the same event quota. As of early 2026 Dub's Pro plan starts around $24-30/month. UseClick.io's Starter plan is $12/month for 300 total links and 25,000 tracked clicks per month. The practical difference: with UseClick.io your link total accumulates (links created in January do not count against February), and clicks are the only metered usage, which makes costs easier to predict for marketing teams.

Yes. Dub is open source (AGPL license for the core) and can be self-hosted, which is a genuine advantage if you have the engineering resources and want full control of your link infrastructure. UseClick.io is not open source. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, Dub or a self-hosted tool like Shlink is the better fit. If what you actually want from self-hosting is data control and GDPR compliance without the maintenance burden, UseClick.io offers the privacy outcome (no IP storage, no cookies, no consent banner needed) as a managed service.

Dub is a US-based company, and while it offers GDPR-relevant controls and can be self-hosted for full data control, the managed service involves US data processing, which matters for German and EU buyers evaluating data transfers after Schrems II. UseClick.io is privacy-first by architecture on every plan: no IP addresses stored, no cookies, SHA-256 visitor hashing, coarse location only (country, region, city, never GPS), and no consent banner required for the analytics. For a German Mittelstand buyer whose data protection officer reviews tooling, that architecture difference is usually the deciding factor.

Yes. Export your links from Dub (the dashboard and API both support export) and import them into UseClick.io via bulk CSV upload, available on Starter plans and above. Your custom domain moves with you: connect it to UseClick.io and new short links keep your branding. Existing Dub short URLs keep redirecting through Dub for as long as your account remains active, so plan the domain switchover before closing the old account.

UseClick.io. Dub's best features (SDKs in TypeScript, Python, Go and more, self-hosting, API-first automation) assume engineering capacity, and its marketing-facing workflows are newer additions. UseClick.io puts the full feature set in the dashboard: campaigns, UTM builder, geo-targeting, A/B testing, QR codes, link-in-bio, and website analytics all work without code. If your team lives in the dashboard rather than the terminal, UseClick.io is the tool built for how you work; the REST API is still there on every plan when you need it.
