Which one fits?
There is no useful winner without a real job in mind.
Choose Bitly when link management and branded short links are central. Choose HonestQR when you want a larger QR allowance and a clear post-cancellation promise.
Before moving any printed campaign, remember that a provider-owned short link cannot be transferred. Make a new QR, replace the old artwork and test every placement.
