The platform itself is usable and I had no complaints early on. But my last two payouts have been sitting in pending status well past the NET-30 window they promise. When I ask support I just get told to 'wait a bit longer'. Earning is pointless if cashing out takes forever.
Easy to use, decent earning initially
Payouts stuck pending far beyond stated NET-30 timing
I started monetizing my Telegram file links here and it's beginner friendly, the minimum withdrawal isn't crazy high so I actually reached my first payout. The catch is on mobile the interstitial page sometimes loads slowly or glitches, and a lot of my audience is on phones. So I get fewer completed views than I'd like.
Low-ish payout threshold, easy onboarding
Interstitial page is laggy on mobile
Logged in to find my entire accumulated balance gone, reset to zero with no notification, no email, nothing. I had been within reach of the minimum withdrawal. All those weeks of traffic, just erased. There is no excuse for wiping a publisher's earnings without so much as an explanation.

The link shortening itself is quick and the API let me automate posting links across my channels, which I appreciated. Support replied to my withdrawal query but took around three days. Earnings are okay-ish, nothing to write home about. It's a fine secondary income but I wouldn't rely on it as a main one.
Useful API, automation friendly
Slow support, modest earnings
What started as a decent earner turned sour when the redirect flow got heavier, now there are multiple pop-up and interstitial steps before the actual link opens. My click-through completion rate dropped hard because people assume it's a virus and close the tab. The money isn't worth losing my audience's trust.
Was earning reasonably before the changes
Excessive redirect/popup steps tank completion rate
I worked for weeks driving real traffic, finally crossed the minimum withdrawal, requested my payment, and then my account was suddenly suspended for 'suspicious activity'. No warning, no appeal that went anywhere. Feels like the threshold exists so they can disable you right before paying. Completely lost my balance.
Account disabled right before payout, balance lost, no appeal
For a small shortener the per-thousand rate is actually competitive, and I like that I can create custom aliases for my links. The downside is some of the redirect ads trigger antivirus or browser warnings for my visitors, which makes me look sketchy even though I'm not. Genuinely split on this one.
Competitive rate, custom alias support
Some ads trigger browser/AV warnings
Shortening and tracking work fine, and I reached my first cashout to bank without issues. What worries me is that a couple of my older shortened links stopped working after a few months, so the file links behind them looked broken to visitors. If link uptime were guaranteed I'd happily bump this up a star.
First bank withdrawal went smoothly, easy tracking
Some older short links stopped resolving
Used it for over a year. PayPal payouts have always come through, never missed one, which is honestly more than I can say for some shorteners. But the eCPM I'm getting now is noticeably lower than when I joined, same traffic, fewer earnings. It's reliable, just not as rewarding as it used to be.
Consistent, reliable PayPal payments
CPM has declined over time for the same traffic
Honestly the rates are fair for an Indian publisher and I've cashed out to UPI without drama. My only real hesitation is the quality of some interstitials, a few pushed those scammy 'you won a prize' full screen ads that made my audience complain. So I'm stuck between the money being good and not wanting to annoy my readers.
Fair rates, UPI withdrawal works
Some low-quality / spammy interstitial ads
Things were going okay until last month when nearly 30% of my balance got wiped under an invalid-traffic deduction. My traffic is organic from my blog, no bots, no incentivized clicks. There's zero breakdown of what was flagged or why, just a lower number. Hard to trust a platform that quietly takes earnings without any evidence.
Unexplained invalid-traffic deductions, no transparency
My withdrawal was marked as 'completed' in the dashboard over five weeks ago and the money never reached my Payoneer. I've sent multiple tickets and get the same copy-paste reply saying it's being processed. Meanwhile they keep showing the link ads and earning off my audience. This is not acceptable.
Payment shown as paid but never received, support unresponsive
Been shrinking my download links here for about four months. The payout rate is genuinely better than what I was getting before, especially for tier-1 traffic from US and UK. But the interstitial countdown is long enough that a chunk of my visitors just bail before reaching the destination, so my actual earnings don't match the eCPM they advertise. Torn on whether to keep it.
Above-average CPM for tier-1 visits, simple link creation
Long ad wait timer kills some conversions
It does what it says, you paste a link, it gives you a short one, and you earn from the ad people see before the redirect. Payments hit my account on time twice now. The reporting dashboard is pretty bare though, I can't break my stats down by country or referrer properly so I'm half guessing where my best traffic comes from. Good enough but not great.
On-time payments, easy to start
Weak analytics, no proper country/referrer breakdown
