GoshLinks Free vs Pro: Feature Overview

GoshLinks Free gives you the core short-link workflow inside WordPress. GoshLinks Pro unlocks advanced workflows for teams, campaigns, migrations, and deeper reporting.

Free Features

• Create, edit, activate, deactivate, and delete short links.
• Choose a site-wide Base Path for short links.
• Set default fallback pages for deactivated, missing, or deleted links.
• Choose a default redirect type for new links.
• Track total click counts when click tracking is enabled.
• Use the All Links page with search, filters, display controls, and status toggles.
• Add private notes to individual links.

Pro Features

• Advanced Links - Add Start Dates, Expiry Dates, Expiry Actions, and per-link Deactivated URLs.
• Bulk Editing - Select links across pages, update links in bulk, delete multiple links, and export selected links.
• Advanced Stats - View charts, date ranges, traffic sources, country data, and detailed click reports.
• Import and Export - Export site-wide data, import GoshLinks JSON files, and include links, clicks, settings, and Help Notes.
• YOURLS Import - Import from a local YOURLS database or use the bundled YOURLS exporter plugin for another site.
• Data Management - Delete click data globally by date, date range, or all time.
• Help Notes - Add your own notes below the built-in help instructions for your team.

What Happens If Pro Is Not Active?

When a Pro feature is not available on the current licence, GoshLinks keeps the core plugin working and shows an upgrade message in the Pro feature area.

If Help Notes were saved while Pro was active, they are hidden when the licence is no longer Pro, but they remain saved in the database so they can show again if Pro is reactivated.

Which Version Should You Use?

Use Free if you need simple short links and basic click counts. Use Pro if you need scheduling, expiry rules, migrations, advanced stats, bulk workflows, or team-specific admin notes.
