Question 1

Is pstd.uk free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan lets you create 50 links and 50 QR codes every month with full click analytics. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited, ad-free links.

Question 2

What is the difference between free and Pro links?

Accepted Answer

Free links show a short interstitial page with an ad before redirecting. Pro links redirect instantly with no ads.

Question 3

Can I use my own custom short code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When creating a link you can set a custom code (e.g. /launch), as long as it isn't reserved or already taken.

Question 4

Do you track personal data?

Accepted Answer

We record aggregated click analytics (country, device, referrer) but never store raw IP addresses — they are hashed before storage.

Question 5

Is there an API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Pro plan includes a REST API with key + secret authentication so you can create and manage links programmatically.
