Love it

Carl Thomas2018年3月19日

Works great but it would be better if the clicks were visible without clicking through each time.

Cannot confirm if bitly/cuttly third-party services charge for API keys — this is external to the extension
The extension proxies cuttly requests through app.thebyteseffect.com, but this appears to be a simple relay, not a paid service

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is open-source (stated in store description and linked to GitHub). No payment platforms, billing APIs, upgrade UI, subscription flows, or feature gating were found. All 'pro' keyword matches are false positives from jQuery library code (Promise, prop) and metadata. All features listed in the store description (shorten URLs, QR code, history, CSV export, night mode, context menu) are freely available. External services like bitly/cuttly have their own pricing tiers, but the extension itself has no paid features.

Confidence: 92
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension does not implement any login or account system. All 'auth' and 'token' keyword hits refer to optional third-party API keys (bitly, cuttly) that users supply themselves for those URL shortening services — this is configuration, not user authentication. Core providers (tinyurl, is.gd, v.gd, tny.im) work without any credentials. No login UI, OAuth flow, or session management exists in the codebase.
