A URL shortener, not a QR management platform
Agencies choose WaypointQR for approval workflows, multi-client isolation, and quishing protection that Bitly doesn't provide.
Feature comparison
| Feature | Bitly | WaypointQR |
|---|---|---|
| QR-First Design | QR is a secondary feature after link shortening | Purpose-built QR infrastructure from the ground up |
| Approval Workflows | No change management or approval process | Full approval chains with configurable reviewer roles |
| Brand Kits | No branded QR code customization | Custom brand kits with logos, colors, and templates |
| Redirect Rules | Single destination — one QR, one URL | Geo, device, language, and time-based routing |
| Multi-Client Workspaces | Single workspace model | Multi-workspace with per-client isolation and permissions |
Why agencies make the switch
Approval governance
Require review before any QR destination goes live. Bitly lets anyone change a destination — WaypointQR gives you control over who can approve changes and when.
Multi-client workspaces
Manage all your clients from one account with isolated workspaces. Each workspace has its own team, brand kits, and permissions — no data leaks between clients.
Smart routing
One QR code, multiple destinations. Route by geography, device, language, or time of day. Bitly requires separate QR codes for each target.
Built-in quishing protection
Every destination is screened for threats. Protect your clients' brands from being associated with malicious redirects — something Bitly doesn't offer.
