Linktree alternatives, with the prices nobody else updates

It is worth being precise about this, because the reason you are leaving determines which replacement is right, and most listicles skip the question entirely.

There are four distinct complaints, and they lead to four different products. The first is price. The November 2025 increase took Pro from $9/mo to $15/mo and Premium from $24/mo to $35/mo. For a creator earning inconsistently, $180 a year for a page of buttons is a hard line item to defend, and the increase arrived without a matching jump in what the product does for you.

The second is the paywall line. Linktree's free tier gives you lifetime click counts and nothing else. No time series, no referrer breakdown, no device split. That means the free plan can tell you a link has 4,120 clicks but not whether it got them last week or last year, which is the only version of the question that changes what you do next. Real analytics start at $15 a month.

The third is fees. Selling anything on the free plan costs you 12%, and 9% on Starter through Pro. Fees only reach 0% on Premium at $35 a month. If you sell $500 of anything in a month, the free plan quietly costs $60.

The fourth is trust. Linktree's public account-suspension page is the most emotionally charged complaint in the category, and recurring billing surprises show up across review sites. None of that is unique to Linktree, but it is the reason people search for alternatives at 2am rather than at renewal time.

List prices as of August 2026, on monthly billing. Annual billing knocks roughly 17 to 20% off most of these, which does not change the ordering. Five-year figures are the list monthly price multiplied by 60, and one-time products cost their price once.

Two things stand out when you put them side by side. The first is how wide the spread is: the same job costs $24.99 forever at one end and $1,740 over five years at the other. The second is that the expensive end is not selling you a better link page. It is selling you a store, an email tool, and a checkout, which is a completely different purchase that happens to include a link page.

You want the cheapest permanent page

Lnk.Bio deserves more respect than it gets. It has run a no-subscription model since 2016 and never broke the promise, which is rarer than it should be. The output looks like 2018 and the analytics barely exist, but if your requirement is genuinely "a page of links that costs nothing again," this is the honest answer and it costs less than a takeaway.

You want a free page with no watermark

Bio.link's free tier is the most generous of the incumbents and it does not brand your page. The trade is that it also does not tell you anything: analytics stay basic even on Pro, and there is no scheduling, email capture, or commerce. It is a very good static page. We wrote a longer Bio.link comparison if you want the detail.

You sell digital products for a living

If your page is a shop, buy a shop. Stan has the best checkout in the category, 0% platform fees, and support that answers. The $348 a year only looks expensive if the page is not making money, which is exactly the complaint you see from people who bought it before they had something to sell. We do not have a native storefront and we are not going to pretend a link plus a Gumroad URL is the same product.

You want everything in one tool

Beacons genuinely does the most. It is also the product people most often describe as overwhelming, its Trustpilot sits at 3.3/5 with billing as the top complaint category, and the 9% fee runs until the $30 tier. Full detail in the Beacons head-to-head.

You want total design control and can wire up your own analytics

Carrd is the designer's answer and it is absurdly cheap. The catch is a real one: no native analytics at all. You will be installing something yourself and reading it somewhere else, and most people never do, which means most Carrd link pages are flying blind.

You want the page to do something with the data

The argument for us is narrow on purpose. Every other product on this list treats your link order as a thing you maintain by hand. We treat it as an output of what people click, scored with a 14 day half-life so last month's viral post stops dominating, and smoothed so a link with three clicks does not leapfrog a link with three hundred. If you post daily and edit your bio page twice a year, that difference compounds. If you have five links that never change, it does not, and you should buy Lnk.Bio.

Pricing tables in this category almost always show the subscription and hide the cut. That is backwards for anyone who sells anything, because the cut scales with your success and the subscription does not.

• Linktree: 12% on Free, 9% from Starter to Pro, 0% only on Premium at $35 a month.
• Beacons: 9% on Free and the $10 tier, 0% from the $30 tier up.
• Snipfeed: 10% on the $9 tier, 2% above it. The $9 tier is a worse deal than it looks.
• Stan Store, Hopp, Carrd, Lnk.Bio, link2l.ink: 0%, before payment processing.

Work it through. Sell $1,000 a month of anything on Linktree's free plan and the fee is $120 a month, which is eight times the cost of the Pro tier you were avoiding. On Beacons' $10 tier it is $90 a month, and the $30 tier that removes the fee pays for itself at roughly $500 of monthly sales. Fees are the real pricing page.

Every product here has something called a free tier. They are not remotely comparable.

The pattern worth noticing: the products with the most generous free tiers (Bio.link, Carrd, Milkshake) are the ones with the least to sell you later, and the products with the thinnest free tiers are the ones that make money from your sales. Linktree's free tier is technically unlimited and functionally a demo, because the number it shows you, lifetime clicks, is the least useful number it has.

A comparison page written by one of the products in it has exactly one way to be credible, so here is the list of situations where you should close this tab and buy something else.

1. You need a real storefront. Digital products, checkout, order management, upsells. Stan Store does this properly and we do not do it at all.
2. You need email marketing in the same tool. Beacons sends campaigns. We capture form submissions and that is where our involvement ends.
3. You want to buy something today. Our paid tiers are published prices, not a working checkout. If you want to hand somebody money right now for a finished product, every subscription on this list will take it.
4. You want the safest possible default. Linktree is recognised by every brand manager on earth. Being on it never needs explaining. We are new, and new carries risk.
5. You have five links that never change. An adaptive ordering engine with nothing to reorder is a solution to a problem you do not have. Lnk.Bio at $24.99 is a better purchase.
6. You build only on your phone. Milkshake is designed for that and we are not, though our editor works fine on mobile.

Nobody in this category offers an importer, so every migration is manual. The good news is that a normal page takes about fifteen minutes. The order below matters, because doing it the other way round costs you traffic during the gap.

1. Screenshot your analytics first. Whatever your current tool shows you, it disappears when you cancel and none of it transfers. If you have per-link click counts, save them. They are your baseline for judging whether the move worked.
2. Build the new page completely before you touch your bio. Same links, same order to start with, so the comparison is clean.
3. Change the bio link on your smallest platform first. Watch it for 48 hours. If clicks hold, roll it out everywhere else.
4. Leave the old page live for 30 days. Old posts, old newsletters, and old video descriptions still point at it. Do not cancel until the traffic to it has gone quiet.
5. Then cancel, and check the charge actually stops. Charge-after-cancel is a documented complaint against more than one product in this category. Check your statement the following month.

One thing to expect that surprises people: your click-through rate will look different on the new page for reasons that have nothing to do with the tool. Different platforms strip referrer data differently, and most bio-page traffic arrives from an in-app browser that reports itself as direct. We explain that mess in the click-through rate guide.

Still deciding between the pay-once options specifically? The one-time payment comparison covers all four in detail, including the lifetime deals we would not buy. If it is Linktree specifically you are weighing up, the Linktree head-to-head goes line by line.
