RedirectIQ vs redirect.pizza
redirect.pizza is a solid, purpose-built domain redirect service: automatic HTTPS, wildcard subdomains, an API, and email forwarding on every plan, including free. The two products overlap a lot. Here is an honest look at where they actually differ: mostly pricing and traffic limits, plus a couple of features each one has that the other doesn't.

Pricing comparison
Both products price by domain count. redirect.pizza's free plan is more generous on custom domains (5 vs. our free subdomain-only tier), but every paid tier costs noticeably more than the RedirectIQ equivalent at the same domain count.
{custom}.free.redirectiq.com) rather than custom domains. If you want to point your own domain for free, redirect.pizza wins here.When redirect.pizza is the right choice
redirect.pizza is a good fit if you want more custom domains on a free plan, need built-in email forwarding for the domains you're redirecting, or are truly unconcerned with traffic volume and want a flat unlimited-traffic guarantee rather than a metered plan with overage billing.
It's also the stronger choice at enterprise scale if you specifically need SAML SSO or a Web Application Firewall bundled into your redirect tool. Both are only available on redirect.pizza's Business plan and above.
When to use RedirectIQ
RedirectIQ is the better fit when:
- •Price matters: RedirectIQ is cheaper than redirect.pizza at every matching domain count, often by an order of magnitude.
- •You want broken redirects and 404s caught and fixed automatically: Autopilot detects them and suggests (or auto-applies) the fix, which redirect.pizza doesn't offer.
- •You need to bulk import rules via CSV, from a site migration, a GSC export, or an SEO audit.
- •You want an optional CDN/proxy pass-through (Edge Proxy) alongside your redirects, not just the redirects themselves.
Migrating from redirect.pizza to RedirectIQ
- 1Export your existing hostnames and redirect rules from the redirect.pizza dashboard or API.
- 2Convert to RedirectIQ's CSV format: three columns,
source_path,destination,type. Regex-based rules map to RedirectIQ's wildcard/named-param syntax. - 3Connect your domain to RedirectIQ and bulk import the CSV.
- 4Verify each redirect using our free redirect checker.
- 5If you rely on redirect.pizza's email forwarding, set that up with your DNS/mail provider directly before cancelling. RedirectIQ doesn't forward email.
- 6Update your domain's DNS to point at RedirectIQ and cancel redirect.pizza once traffic is confirmed flowing correctly.
