Choose Linky if
The page is the product: you want it to look like you, show live data, and cost nothing, and you do not need a store or a marketing suite attached.
Where Linky is different
- Costs nothing, with no seller fees because there is nothing to sell
- A page that looks designed, not templated
- Animated and video backgrounds, cursors, text effects
- Live cards for Discord, GitHub, Roblox, Minecraft
