Otherwise, the rates for individuals are hidden on their blog.[2] If you really want to archive and shorten a link at once, https://archive.today (often seen on HN for bypassing paywalls) is another option, but its unknown ownership makes its long-term existence slightly questionable. For general web archival, the Internet Archive (https://web.archive.org) looks like it'll be around for a little longer.
