Linktree Alternatives: How to Choose the Right One

The right Linktree alternatives depend on why you’re thinking of leaving. If you want to sell directly, you need one kind of tool. If you want design freedom, you need another. Some people will realise that Linktree is fine after all, and that what they really need is a better page. So before comparing tools, name your reason.

Linktree remains a sensible choice for many people, and we’ll say where. We also make one of the alternatives, BioFlow, so keep that in mind. The facts below come from each vendor’s own pages, checked on 2 November 2026. Plans change, so confirm them before you switch.

Why people look elsewhere

Common reasons include:

• Wanting to sell digital products with different fees.
• Needing forms, or a page that does more than list links.
• Wanting more control over the design.
• Already paying for a related tool, such as a scheduler.
• Wanting to spend less.
• Wanting a page next to other tools they use.

If you’re not sure you need any tool, a direct link may be enough.

Match the reason to the tool

Selling digital products

Linktree’s help centre limits selling digital products to Pro and Premium, in certain countries. Linktree’s cut varies by plan, and Stripe charges for processing on top. If selling is your focus, compare it with:

• Stan Store. Its own blog lists plans from $29 a month, 0% transaction fees and no free plan. Processing fees may still apply.
• Beacons. Its pricing page lists a free plan with a 9% seller fee, and paid plans with lower or no seller fee.
• Bio Sites. Its site says it’s free, and lists digital products, with Stripe or PayPal for payments.

Do the arithmetic for your expected sales. A monthly fee can cost less than a percentage, or more, depending on your volume.

Forms and landing pages

If you want visitors to submit something, not just tap away:

• Taplink. Its site lists application forms under its Business plan, and describes its tool as a mini-site builder.
• Carrd. Its Pro plans include forms, on some tiers.
• BioFlow. Includes a contact form and gated file downloads, with a Leads inbox. Forms have fixed fields and always ask for an email address.

Design freedom

Carrd is the obvious choice here, since it’s a one-page site builder and not a list of links. You get more control, but also more setup. If you only need your colours and fonts on a tidy page, most link tools can do that, so check their free plans first.

Bundled scheduling

If you already use a social media scheduler, check whether it includes a link page. Later does, as its Link in Bio page explains. This saves you from adding another tool, although you should check what’s included.

Lower cost

Several tools advertise free options, including Beacons, Bio Sites, Taplink and Carrd. Free plans can differ in branding, limits and fees on sales. Linktree’s own pricing page also lists a free tier, so make sure you’re not leaving to gain something you already have.

Where Linktree remains strong

It’s only fair to say why you might stay:

• Familiarity. Many visitors already recognise the format.
• A usable free tier, with unlimited links, according to its own page.
• A wide range of features across its plans, including analytics, commerce and marketing integrations on higher tiers.
• Simplicity. Getting a basic page live is quick.
• Switching has a cost. Moving takes time, and you’d have to update your links.

If Linktree does what you need, and your frustration is really about low clicks, a new tool may not help. Better wording and fewer links might do more.

BioFlow as an option

BioFlow may suit you if:

• You also want Instagram comment-to-DM automation in the same product.
• You want a contact form, gated downloads and a simple Leads inbox.
• You sell elsewhere and only need a hub linking to your store.

It’s probably not right if:

• You want a built-in checkout. BioFlow links to external payment pages.
• You need a custom domain.
• You want email sending built in.
• You want embedded media players. YouTube and Spotify appear as link cards.

Moving your page without breaking links

If you decide to switch, plan the move so that nothing breaks.

1. List everywhere your link appears: profiles, emails, business cards, QR codes, older posts.
2. Export what you can, such as subscriber lists or link data, using the old tool’s options.
3. Build the new page before you touch anything.
4. Test it on a phone, including forms and downloads.
5. Switch your social profiles to the new address.
6. Keep the old page live for a while. Add a clear link to your new page if the tool allows it, so that old posts and printed material keep working.
7. Reprint QR codes when convenient, or keep the old page active until you do.
8. Check your data for a few weeks to make sure traffic is arriving.

Don’t delete your old account straight away. Old posts can bring visitors for a long time.

FAQ

What is the best alternative to Linktree?

It depends on why you’re leaving. For selling, compare Stan Store, Beacons and Bio Sites. For forms and mini sites, look at Taplink or Carrd. For a page next to your scheduler, look at Later. For a page next to Instagram automation, look at BioFlow. Compare current plans on each vendor’s site.

Is there a free Linktree alternative?

Yes. Beacons, Bio Sites, Taplink and Carrd all advertised free options on their own sites when we checked. Linktree has a free tier as well, so compare limits rather than assuming you’ll gain something. Also check fees on sales, since a free plan may take a percentage.

How do I switch without breaking links?

Build your new page first, then update your social profiles. Keep the old page live for a while, ideally with a link to your new one, because older posts, emails and printed QR codes may still point there. Only close your old account once traffic to it has mostly stopped.

Start with your reason

Write your reason for leaving in one sentence. Then look only at the section above that matches it, and test one tool with your real content. If your reason matches what BioFlow does, you can see if BioFlow fits your reason.
