Sniply Removed Their Free Plan — Here's What to Use Instead
Sniply discontinued their free plan in 2025. If you relied on free CTA overlays, here are your best options now.
Sniply killed their free plan. Now what?
If you used Sniply's free tier to add call-to-action overlays on shared links, you already know: it's gone. The new Sniply starts at $29/month with no free option. For marketers who were sharing content with CTAs at zero cost, that's a problem.
But here's the thing — Sniply wasn't perfect even when it was free. Forced "Powered by Sniply" branding on your overlays. Links breaking on sites that block iframes. Support tickets going unanswered for weeks.
So what are the actual alternatives? We tested the main options and compared them on what matters: CTA overlays, pricing, branding, site compatibility, and ease of use.
Quick comparison
| Tool | Free plan | CTA overlays | Forced branding | Works on blocked sites | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visib | Yes | Yes (6 types) | Never | Yes (snapshots) | $9/mo |
| Sniply | No (removed) | Yes | Yes (on starter) | No | $29/mo |
| Replug | No | Yes | Yes (on basic) | No | $19/mo |
| Linkly | Yes (limited) | Basic | Yes | No | $9/mo |
1. Visib — Free, no branding, works everywhere
Visib is a link shortener with CTA overlays built specifically for marketers who share content. The free plan gives you link shortening with analytics. The Pro plan ($9/mo) unlocks CTA overlays, custom domains, and snapshots.
The biggest difference from Sniply: zero forced branding on any plan, and a Chrome Extension that captures pixel-perfect snapshots of any page. That means your CTA works even on sites that block iframes — a problem that affects roughly 35% of websites.
Best for: Marketers and agencies who share content daily and need CTAs that look professional — no "Powered by" badge, no broken links.
2. Sniply — The original, now expensive
Sniply pioneered the CTA overlay concept and still has a solid product. But the removal of their free plan, forced branding on their $29/mo starter tier, and reports of slow support have pushed users to look elsewhere.
If you need A/B testing and have the budget, Sniply still works. But for most marketers, paying $29/mo for a tool that puts someone else's branding on your CTAs is a hard sell.
Best for: Existing Sniply users with budget who need A/B testing and don't mind the branding.
3. Replug — Powerful but complex
Replug is a full link management platform — CTA overlays, bio links, retargeting pixels, A/B testing, QR codes. It's the most feature-rich option on this list. But that comes with complexity and price: no free plan, starting at $19/mo.
Best for: Agencies and power users who need retargeting pixels, bio links, and advanced analytics alongside CTA overlays.
4. Linkly — Basic CTA on a budget
Linkly offers basic CTA overlays on its free plan with 500 clicks/month. The feature set is limited compared to dedicated CTA tools — fewer CTA types, no snapshots, forced branding. But if you just need a simple button overlay on shared links, it works.
Best for: Solo marketers who need basic CTAs and don't mind branding or limited features.
The bottom line
If you were using Sniply's free plan, the closest replacement is Visib. Free to start, no branding, and snapshots that solve the iframe blocking problem Sniply never fixed.
If you need advanced features like retargeting pixels or A/B testing, Replug or Sniply are worth the price. But for most content marketers, a clean CTA overlay without forced branding at $9/mo is the better deal.
