The free GoLinks.io alternative
OrgOrg vs GoLinks.io · Dedicated go links product
Free for teams of up to 5. Every app, no feature gates, no credit card. Past 5 people, Pro is $10 per member per month.
GoLinks.io is the category leader for standalone go links: a free plan with unlimited links, a browser extension for every major browser, mobile apps, geo links, and an AI assistant. The paid plans run $2 to $4 per user a month. OrgOrg bundles Go Links into a suite that is free for up to 5 people. This page lays out the honest tradeoffs.
When OrgOrg is the right pick
Teams that want go links as part of a broader suite: the directory, the org chart, on-call, recognition, and the screen recorder, under one flat price. OrgOrg is the right pick when a go link should know who you are, when preview and per-country routing matter, and when the same extension should power several apps.
When GoLinks.io is the right pick
Teams that want a dedicated go links product with native iOS and Android apps, and an AI assistant that answers from the links. They get the controls of a mature admin console: roles, collections, aliases, private links, edit history, an audit log. GoLinks.io is the safe pick when go links are the one internal tool you add and the per-user price is small beside it.
Where OrgOrg wins
- Go links resolve by a server-side redirect, the browser extension, and the Slack app, so a link works in places an extension never reaches.
- Special variables such as ${user.email} personalize a destination per visitor, and path captures with default URLs turn go/b/123 into a whole class of links.
- Preview mode: add + to any go link to see the destination and the owner instead of redirecting.
- Per-country mappings on one go link, and usage, owners, and stale links in the dashboard on every plan.
- The people directory and the org chart in the same suite, and one extension that also powers the screen recorder, Snipit, and the new tab page.
Where GoLinks.io wins
- A free plan with unlimited links and redirects, Google SSO, universal search, variable go links, the extension, and the mobile apps.
- Native iOS and Android apps, and an extension for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and Brave.
- The GoAI assistant on the Pro plan, which answers a query and recommends resources, plus apps in Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot.
- Geo links on the Basic plan: one go/<name> that lands by the visitor's state or country.
- Enterprise controls: SSO with SCIM, an API and webhooks, several domains, workspace analytics, an audit log, and a 99.95% uptime SLA.

How to move from GoLinks.io to OrgOrg
Go links move as a list: a name, a destination, an owner. The names do not change, so links in old messages and documents keep working the day the resolution switches.
- List the go links. On the Enterprise plan, the GoLinks.io API returns the workspace's links with their hits. On the other plans, copy the list from the dashboard. Drop the links nobody has used in a year.
- Create them in OrgOrg. Enter each name, destination, and owner. A variable go link keeps its placeholders as path captures with a default URL, a geo link becomes one go link with per-country mappings, and a collection becomes an owner and a naming convention.
- Install the extension and the Slack app. The OrgOrg browser extension resolves go/<name> in the URL bar, and the Slack app unfurls go/<name> in any channel. Both are one install for the whole team.
- Switch the resolution. Remove the GoLinks.io extension by policy, so one extension answers go/. Where no extension is installed, the server-side redirect and Slack still resolve the link.
- Keep the directory clean. The dashboard shows usage, owners, and stale links. Hand the orphaned links to an owner, and downgrade or close the GoLinks.io workspace.
The verdict
GoLinks.io is the better pick for a team that wants go links alone, with mobile apps, an AI assistant, and an enterprise console, free or for $2 to $4 per user. OrgOrg is the better pick when go links should carry variables, per-country routing, preview, and analytics on every plan, resolve without an extension, and come with the directory, on-call, and recognition. One price covers it: free for up to five people, then $10 per member a month.
Frequently asked questions
- Is GoLinks.io free?
- Yes. GoLinks.io's free plan has unlimited links and redirects, Google SSO, universal search, the browser extension, the mobile apps, and variable go links, with no credit card. Roles, geo links, and bulk import start on Basic at $2 per user a month, and the AI assistant and analytics on Pro at $4. OrgOrg is free for teams of up to 5 people, with every app included.
- Is there a free GoLinks alternative with more than go links?
- OrgOrg's Go Links app is free for teams of up to 5 people: go/<name> in the browser, in Slack, and in the address bar, with special variables, path captures, preview, per-country routing, and analytics. The suite that comes with it holds the directory, the org chart, on-call, recognition, and the screen recorder.
- What does OrgOrg lack that GoLinks.io has?
- Native mobile apps for go links, the GoAI assistant, a Safari extension, collections, aliases, private and unlisted links, link edit history, an audit log, and the enterprise console. OrgOrg has an owner on each link, org-wide links by default, and analytics on every plan.
- Do go links work without the browser extension?
- In OrgOrg, yes: a go link resolves by a server-side redirect and in Slack, and the extension adds the URL bar. GoLinks.io resolves through its extension, its Slack app, and its mobile apps.
- Can I move my go links from GoLinks.io to OrgOrg?
- Yes. Pull the list of names, destinations, and owners through the API on Enterprise or from the dashboard, create them in OrgOrg, and install the OrgOrg extension and Slack app. The names stay the same, so links in old messages and documents keep working.
- How does the price compare for a 50-person team?
- GoLinks.io is free with unlimited links, $1,200 a year on Basic, or $2,400 on Pro, if the page's figures are monthly rates. OrgOrg is $6,000 a year for 50 people, with the directory, on-call, feedback, and 20 or more other apps included. For go links alone, GoLinks.io costs less; for the suite, OrgOrg does.
