What is Sniply?
Sniply is a link shortener that places your own call-to-action on top of any web page you share. When you post a link to a third-party article, readers see that article as usual, plus a small message or button from you that points back to your site, offer or signup form. It works like a regular short link but turns curated content into a way to promote your brand.
The product is now owned by UpContent, a content curation company, and still runs under the Sniply name. It includes customizable CTA designs, click and conversion analytics, A/B testing, retargeting pixels, custom domains and team management with multiple brand profiles. Sniply has no free plan, but every paid tier can be tried free for 14 days.
Sniply is most useful for brands that share a lot of third-party content but struggle to turn that activity into traffic. Each shared article becomes a chance to promote a webinar, product or newsletter, and analytics show which messages people actually click.

How does Sniply work?
- Design a CTA
Choose a CTA type such as a button, text link, email capture form or banner image, then set your message, colors and placement.
- Snip a link
Paste the URL of an article or page you want to share, attach your CTA and create a Sniply short link, optionally on your own domain.

Sniply FAQ
Is Sniply free?
No. Sniply does not offer a free plan, but you can try any plan free for 14 days. After the trial, Basic costs $9 per month, Pro costs $29 per month and Business costs $59 per month, with annual billing priced at ten months for twelve. Enterprise pricing is custom.
What is Sniply used for?
Sniply is used to add a call-to-action to links you share that point to other websites. A marketer might share an industry article and overlay a button inviting readers to book a demo or join a newsletter. This lets curated content send traffic and leads back to your own site.
Who owns Sniply?
Sniply was acquired by UpContent, a company that builds content curation software. The Sniply website announces the acquisition, and the product continues to operate under its own name with its existing plans. The site does not state the date of the acquisition.
Sniply vs Replug: what's the difference?
Both add call-to-action overlays to shared links. Sniply concentrates on CTAs, conversion analytics and A/B testing. Replug offers CTAs as part of a broader link management toolkit that also includes bio pages, QR codes, traffic routing and a free plan, so it suits teams wanting more features in one tool.
What happens when Sniply CTA impressions run out?
Your links continue to work after you reach the monthly CTA impression limit for your plan. However, the CTA stops displaying, and visitors are sent straight to the target URL until the limit resets. Upgrading raises the cap, from 5,000 impressions on Basic to 50,000 on Business.
