Carrd
vs iShortn.
Carrd is a beloved, low-cost way to build simple one-page sites, and at $9 to $49/year it's hard to beat on price. But it's a static site builder — no native click analytics, no QR codes, no short links — so you can't see how your bio performs. See how iShortn compares.

Why teams leave
Carrd.
- iShortn gives every bio link full click, geo, device, and referrer analytics on every plan — Carrd has no native analytics, only a Google Analytics bolt-on from $19/yr
- iShortn is a bio page plus a real URL shortener and QR codes in one tool, where Carrd is a static site builder with no link tracking or QR support
- iShortn's free plan includes a bio page, 30 tracked short links/month, and QR codes — with no 'Made with' badge the way Carrd's free tier works
- iShortn Pro ($8/mo) adds password-protected links and removes branding; Carrd only unlocks password protection on its $49/yr Pro Plus plan
- iShortn Pro includes a full REST API and custom domains, neither of which Carrd offers
