PinterestLinkTwin is a URL shortener with analytics built in. Every link you make is also a link tracker and a click counter, with nothing to install and no code to add to your site.
Short link tracking works the same way for deep links that open apps, for QR codes and for your bio page.
Any URL: a YouTube video, an Amazon product, a Spotify playlist, your shop or your website.
Put it in your bio, a Story, a post, an ad, an email or a QR code.
Open Statistics, or the link's own stats page, to see how many people clicked, from where and when.
Anatomy of a click
One tap, eight details. Pick an example to see what a single click looks like in your stats.

From the IP address
Instagram
android-app://com.instagram.android
That is the record, plus the IP address used to count unique clicks. Visitors never sign in or fill anything in, and UTM tags, app installs and purchases are not part of your link stats.
The Statistics dashboard
Statistics puts every link in one place. Pick a range, from today or the last 7 days to this month, all time or your own dates, and every card updates. The screenshots below show a creator's last 30 days.
A health score from 0 to 100, rated Excellent, Good, Needs Attention or Poor. Next to it: how many links got clicks, how many are growing or declining, and the overall trend against the previous period of the same length. Below, the links that fell and the links that rose.
The desk tour video from August is down 62% while the new camera video, the Shorts and the shop page climb. The next Story should point at what is growing.
This period next to the one before it: total clicks, clicks per day, clicks per link and the number of links, with a label that says whether traffic is accelerating, slowing down or stable. Your top performing links are listed underneath.
3,409 clicks in the last 30 days against 2,006 in the 30 days before. About 114 clicks a day, and accelerating.
Clicks per day for the range you pick, so the day a post took off stands out. A second chart, Links Created, shows the links you made each day.
The jump on September 21 is the day the camera unboxing video went up. Traffic stayed higher for two weeks after it.
The apps and sites your clicks came from, each under one clear name. Taps on your LinkTwin bio page show as your @name, and Direct covers clicks that arrive with no referrer, like bookmarks, emails and typed URLs.
Instagram sends the most clicks, then direct taps, TikTok and the @mayamakes bio page.
Where your visitors are. Every country has a View cities button that opens its top cities, and the Visitor Map shows the same clicks on a world map.
Half of the clicks come from the United States, led by New York and Los Angeles. The United Kingdom and Canada come next.
The browser each click opened in, including the in-app browsers of Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X.
Most taps happen inside Instagram's own browser, where your visitor is not signed in to anything. That is why LinkTwin opens your links in the right app. See how it works.
The operating system behind each click: iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux and more. It shows the platform, not the phone model.
88% of the clicks come from phones: 53% from iPhones and 35% from Android.
Clicks by hour of the day and by day of the week, in the time zone set on your account, with your peak hour and your best day.
Clicks peak at 7 PM New York time and Friday is the best day, so that is when the next video goes out.
Referrer names
Apps announce themselves in messy ways. A tap in Instagram can arrive as l.instagram.com, and the same tap from Instagram's Android app as android-app://com.instagram.android. LinkTwin puts them under one name, so your Instagram row counts both.
Named sources include Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, X, YouTube, YouTube Music, Google, Gmail, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, Bing, Linktree, ManyChat, Canva and Stan Store.

Per-link stats
Every link and QR code has its own stats page: clicks and unique clicks, a click chart, referrers, countries and cities, browsers, devices, languages, peak hours and how the link is doing against the previous period. Bio pages get a report of their own, too.
Shortcut: add a + to the end of any of your short links, like linktw.in/new-camera+, to open its stats.
More reports
Group links the way you work and get one report for the group, or take the raw clicks with you.
Put links in a collection and get one report for all of them: total clicks, top country and referrer, clicks over time, a map with cities, browsers, platforms, languages, social sources and a click-by-click activity table. Collections can be shared and exported too.
A campaign gets its own report: a clicks chart, how traffic splits between its links, a visitor map, top countries, browsers and platforms, plus Export Stats.
A LinkTwin QR code points to a tracked link. Its stats page counts Scans and Unique Scans, with the same countries, devices and times as any link.
Your bio page reports its views and the clicks on each button, with the click-through rate, social icon clicks, referrers, countries, devices, languages and recent clicks.
Download clicks as a CSV file, one row per click. Export a single link, a date range of your account, a collection or a campaign.
What gets counted
Numbers are only useful when they count people. Before a click reaches your stats, LinkTwin checks where it came from.
In your stats: 3 clicks, 2 unique clicks.
Every plan, including Free, tracks every click. Paid plans keep a longer click history. A/B testing comes on every plan, group reports on every plan and CSV export from the Medium plan.
| Feature | Free and Small | Medium and Large |
|---|---|---|
| Click tracking on every link | Included | Included |
| Statistics dashboard for your account | Included | Included |
| Per-link stats and Recent Clicks | Included | Included |
| Share stats with a public link | Included | Included |
| QR code scan stats | Included | Included |
| A/B Testing Split | Included | Included |
| Collection and campaign stats | Included | Included |
| CSV export | Not included | Included |
How far back your click history goes depends on the plan. Plans can change, so the pricing page always has the current details.

If you send traffic between apps on mobile, the experience is terrible and often it opens in browser instead of the app on your phone. This tool solves that issue nicely.
My man! Try LinkTwin if you haven't already, sends people straight to the app. Not affiliated, just an awesome tool.
Awesome tool for Instagram creators! IG story links don't open in dedicated apps, like YouTube. Use linktw.in to level-up your links, sending the audience straight to your content on their specific apps, rather than a login-prompt within the IG browser!

Paste the link into LinkTwin and share the short link you get. Every click is counted automatically, with no code or tracking tag to add. Open Statistics to see all your links together, or a link's own stats page to see one. You can also add a + to the end of any of your short links to open its stats.
Clicks counts every tap. Unique clicks counts each IP address once, so a person who taps your link three times from the same connection adds 3 clicks and 1 unique click. People who share a network, like an office or a school, can share one IP address.
Yes. Top Referrers groups referrers under clear names such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, X and YouTube, including taps that come from Android apps. Clicks from your LinkTwin bio page show as your @name. Clicks that arrive without a referrer, like bookmarks, emails, typed URLs and most QR scans, show as Direct.
Yes. Open a link's stats, click Share stats and turn on public sharing. Anyone with the link can view those statistics without a LinkTwin account. You can turn sharing off or reset the link at any time. It works for links, collections and bio pages.
Yes. CSV export comes from the Medium plan. Each row is one click with the short URL, the date and time in your time zone, city, country, browser, platform, language, referring domain and full referrer. You can export a single link, a date range of your whole account, a collection or a campaign.
Known bots and crawlers, including the crawlers apps use to build link previews, are filtered out, and so are clicks from networks on LinkTwin's click blocklist. Filtering works from the visitor's browser signature, so, as with any link tracker, an unusual automated visit can still get through.
Yes. Every dashboard shows your top countries with a city breakdown, a visitor map, browsers and devices. Devices are grouped by operating system or platform (iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows and so on), not by phone model.
Yes. Every LinkTwin plan, including the free plan, tracks clicks on every link and includes the Statistics dashboard, per-link stats and public stats sharing. Paid plans add a longer click history. A/B testing comes on every plan, and CSV export comes from the Medium plan.
It depends on your plan. The free plan keeps 14 days of click history, higher plans keep a longer history, and the date picker offers the ranges your plan covers. See the pricing page for each plan's limits.
Yes. A QR code made with LinkTwin points to a tracked link, so every scan is counted. Its stats page calls them Scans and Unique Scans and shows the same countries, devices and times as any other link. Make one with the QR code generator.
