The short answer: the main alternatives are Beacons, Bio Link, Carrd, Later, Campsite.bio, Taplink, Lnk.Bio, Milkshake, hoo.be, solo.to, AllMyLinks, guns.lol and Linky. They differ less in the list of links than in what surrounds it: some add a store and marketing tools, some build whole websites, some pair the page with a scheduler, and a few just focus on the page. Linky is in the last group, and it is the only one with no paid tier at all.
Why people leave Linktree
- Customisation costs extra. Removing the Linktree badge and choosing your own fonts and themes needs a paid plan, billed yearly.
- The page looks like every other Linktree.
- They do not need a storefront, a mailing list and post scheduling, which is what the price pays for.
To be fair: if you do want a storefront, scheduling and a mailing list in one place, Linktree is the more complete product, and our comparison says so.
