What is Pxl?
Privacy-friendly short links, dynamic QR codes, and AI-built microsites with analytics. Pxl combines short links, dynamic QR codes and link-in-bio microsites in one campaign workspace.
Our verdict
Pxl is a focused choice for marketers who need branded links, editable QR destinations, microsites and client reports, without buying separate tools. The flat monthly or annual feature set and included API simplify comparison. Its privacy posture is a useful vendor-stated differentiator, but not independently audited here. The pricing page and help docs conflict on detailed analytics history (up to 180 versus 90 days); confirm the applicable window with Pxl. There is no permanent free plan, and monthly QR and microsite creation caps remain.
Full review
Pxl combines short links, dynamic QR codes and link-in-bio microsites in one campaign workspace. Its official site advertises smart redirects by device, location and date, custom domains, UTM tools, client-shareable analytics and an API in every plan. The privacy pitch is specific: Pxl says it hashes and minimizes visitor data rather than storing personal information. Its GDPR and ePrivacy compliance statements are vendor claims, not the result of an independent audit in this desk review. A retargeting-pixel feature and optional consent banner mean buyers should check the settings against their own obligations.
The public pricing page lists $34.99 a month billed monthly or $19.99 a month on an annual term, with a seven-day free trial and no card required to start. It advertises 100 new dynamic QR codes a month, 10 AI-assisted microsites a month, five workspaces, 10 team members and 20 custom domains. Unlimited clicks have a fair-use condition.

The same pricing page says analytics can be accessed for up to 180 days, but the vendor’s help article says it retains detailed analytics for 90 days and a plan may have a shorter allowance. Treat the retention period as unresolved and ask Pxl which limit applies to your plan before relying on a long reporting window.
The useful distinction is that a link, QR scan and microsite visit can be measured in the same tool, with reports a client can open. This does not replace a full analytics suite or a free URL shortener. The numbers and dates in Pxl’s sample analytics screenshots are illustrative product UI, not customer results. We have not run the app hands-on.
