Rebrandly is one of the most established branded-link platforms, with real enterprise credentials — SOC 2, HIPAA, big-brand customers. This comparison is honest about that. The differences that matter: how click events reach your systems (per-event signed deliveries vs batched clickstream), whether re-pointing a live link is metered, and where alerting happens.

| Feature | xengo | Rebrandly |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time click/scan events | Per-event delivery from Pro (£39/mo) — one signed POST per click/scan, retried, logged | Clickstream webhooks on Professional ($32/mo) and above — click and scan events [source] |
| Delivery model | One event per delivery, with a per-attempt delivery log in the console | Click events delivered in JSON batches to your endpoint or an S3 bucket [source] |
| Notification channels | 24 built-in (Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, Telegram, email…) — no receiver to build | Webhook/S3 delivery plus its integrations and apps ecosystem [source] |
| Editing a live link's destination | Unmetered on every plan — re-pointing is the point of dynamic links | Metered per month by tier (e.g. 10/mo on Essentials, 50/mo on Professional) [source] |
| Compliance certifications | UK GDPR, DPA on request; not yet SOC 2 — stated honestly on our trust page | SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA and SAML SSO on Enterprise — a real strength [source] |
| Entry paid plan | £15/mo — 250 links, custom domain, dynamic QR, email alerts | Essentials $11/mo ($8 annual) — 250 links, 2 domains [source] |
| Free tier | None by design — business-only, 14-day card-required trial | Free plan: 10 links and 10 (watermarked) QR codes per month [source] |
Try it against your own workflow — start a 14-day trial (card required, cancel anytime), or see pricing.

Per Rebrandly's pricing page, changing where an existing link points is capped per month by tier (for example 10 edits/month on Essentials). On xengo, re-pointing links and printed QR codes is unmetered on every plan.
No — and we won't imply otherwise. Our trust page states our actual posture (UK GDPR, DPA on request, architecture details). If SOC 2 is a hard requirement today, Rebrandly Enterprise is the safer pick.
