Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Bitly?
koigrid is flat-rate with bandwidth included — no per-GB egress or per-request fees. For a comparable setup you usually pay a lot less (see the estimate above).
Can I migrate from Bitly without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
