- Regex and dynamic destinations

- Analytics and reports
- Hits per domain, visitor geography, exports and emailed reports from Basic, kept for 3, 6 or 12 months depending on plan.
- API, MCP and Terraform
- Create and manage redirects from your own code, AI clients through the MCP server, a Terraform provider or Zapier, on every plan.
- Email forwarding
- Pro and above forward specific or wildcard addresses on a redirected domain, so a retired domain can keep receiving mail.
Redirection
- Redirect manager
- Create redirects for any URL without editing Apache or Nginx, with regular expressions, query parameter matching and automatic redirects when permalinks change.
- Conditional redirects
- Redirect only for logged-in or logged-out users, a WordPress capability, browser, referrer, cookie, HTTP header, IP address, server or 404 pages.
- 404 tracking
- Logs every 404 error on the site, groups them to show where to focus, and lets them be redirected in bulk.
- Redirect logs
- Records each redirect with visitor, browser and referrer details and a hit count, with search, filters, export and controls to limit IP collection.
- Apache and Nginx output
- Redirects can be saved to .htaccess so Apache handles them, or exported as Nginx rewrite rules.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
