Linktree Alternatives 2026: 9 Compared on Price, Fees and Domain

Linktree's paid plans cost £5 to £18.50 a month in the UK in November 2026, and none of them lets you use your own domain: every page stays on linktr.ee. The closest alternatives that do are Carrd at $19 a year, Campsite.bio at $7 a month, Beacons at $10 a month and a page an AI agent builds and hosts for £7 a month. This guide compares 9 options on price, selling fees and domain.

Your salon, cafe or studio lives on Instagram. The profile gets the views, the bio gets one tap, and that tap lands on a page with somebody else's logo at the bottom and somebody else's name in the address. Then the tool puts the feature you need on the next plan up. That is the moment people search for Linktree alternatives, and the lists they find are mostly written by the alternatives themselves. Linktree's own homepage says it is used by "tens of millions" of creators and businesses, so the question is not whether it works. The question is what you are renting and what you could own.

Below: how we judged, a table of 9 options, what Linktree costs in pounds and what the free plan leaves out, the domain catch, each alternative in a paragraph, what Instagram and TikTok allow on their own, how to have your own page built on your own domain, what to measure and a 30-minute switch plan.

How we judged

1. Prices from each vendor's own page on 11 November 2026. Linktree showed pounds in a UK browser. Beacons, Carrd, Milkshake, Campsite.bio, Komi, Stan and Later showed dollars, which we quote without converting.
2. Your own domain. Whether the page can live at a name you own, and on which plan. This decides whether you can leave later without breaking every link you have printed or posted.
3. Fees on sales. What the tool takes when a customer buys through the page, separate from card processing.
4. Whether there is a real free plan or only a trial.
5. Gaps are marked. Where a vendor's page did not state something, the table says "not stated" rather than guessing.

Linktree alternatives compared: 9 options

Two patterns run through these Linktree alternatives. The tools that are free take their money from your sales, and the tools that let you use your own domain put it on a paid plan. Decide which of the two matters to you before comparing prices.

Linktree pricing in the UK and what free leaves out

Linktree's pricing page, read in a UK browser on 11 November 2026, lists three paid plans above Free. Starter is £5 a month, or £4.08 a month billed annually. Pro is £9 a month, or £7.50 billed annually. Premium is £18.50 a month, or £16 billed annually. Pro and Premium come with a seven-day free trial.

What moves between plans, from the same page and Linktree's help centre:

• The Linktree logo. Removing the branding is listed under Pro. On Free and Starter your page advertises Linktree.
• Fees on sales. Pro is sold with "Sell and earn with 0% fees". The help centre says the transaction fee "depends on your Linktree plan", and card processing through Stripe is charged on top at every level.
• How far back your numbers go. Insights cover 90 days on Starter, 365 days on Pro and all time on Premium.
• Email and phone collection. Syncing sign-ups to a mailing list tool is a Pro and Premium feature.
• Scheduling links to appear and disappear is available from Starter.

A year of Pro billed annually is £90. A year of Premium is £192. For a business with five links and no shop, Free does the job, and that is worth saying plainly.

The catch: a Linktree can never sit on your own domain

This is the fact most lists of Linktree alternatives leave out. Linktree's help centre answers the question directly: "Every Linktree uses its own linktr.ee/yourusername URL, and you can't replace it with your own domain." Paid plans offer a redirect, which sends visitors on to a site you choose, but the address in your bio, on your flyers and inside your QR codes is Linktree's.

Three consequences for a small business:

• Every printed link belongs to the tool. Menus, van signs, business cards and packaging all point at an address you rent.
• Leaving means reprinting. Move to another tool and the old address stops being yours to redirect once you close the account.
• Tools close. Koji was bought by Linktree and shut in January 2024, and Shopify's Linkpop was reported closed in July 2025, according to press and industry coverage. Pages on those services stopped working. A page on a domain you own can be rebuilt anywhere and the address never changes.

A .co.uk domain costs little. On 11 November 2026 IONOS advertised one at £1 for the first year before VAT and 123-reg at £3.99 for the first year, with renewal prices not shown on either page. Our guide to buying a domain name covers the renewal trap.

The Linktree alternatives, one by one

Beacons

Beacons has a free-forever plan and takes a 9% fee on sales on both Free and Creator. Creator is $10 a month or $100 a year and includes a free custom domain. The fee drops to 0% on Creator Plus at $30 a month. It suits someone selling downloads who has done the sum on 9%.

Carrd

Carrd is a one-page site builder, not a link in bio tool, which is its strength. Pro Standard is $19 a year for up to ten sites with custom domains. Pro Lite at $9 a year does not allow your own domain. You design the page yourself from a template, so allow an hour.

Milkshake

Milkshake builds swipeable card pages on a phone. Free includes unlimited links, Lite at $2.99 a month removes the branding, and a custom domain arrives only on Pro+ at $10 a month or $99.99 a year. Its page notes that prices vary by country.

Campsite.bio and Komi

Campsite.bio is the plainest swap: free without a custom domain, Pro at $7 a month with one, and you buy the domain separately. Komi's free Starter plan includes a mini-site with unlimited links, and Pro at $16 a month adds a custom domain and 0% fees on digital product sales. Its page showed two different Pro prices on the day, so check at checkout.

Squarespace Bio Sites

Bio Sites says its pages are "100% free to create and launch" with no Squarespace subscription, unlimited links and up to ten pages per account. Pages sit at a bio.site address and the page does not mention custom domains.

Stan Store and Later

Stan is a shop first. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, then $29 a month or $300 a year, and Stan takes 0% of sales. Later includes its link in bio page with its social scheduling plans, which start at $18.75 a month billed yearly, so it makes sense only if you want the scheduler. Our free social media scheduling comparison covers that decision.

Do you still need a link in bio tool?

Sometimes the answer is no. Instagram has allowed up to five links in a bio since April 2023, according to press coverage of Meta's announcement; Instagram's own help page would not load for us, so treat the number as reported. TikTok's help centre, as quoted in search results, says a website link in a profile needs 1,000 followers or a registered Business Account. If you have three links and no shop, put them straight in the bio and spend nothing.

A link page earns its place when you need more than a list: opening hours, a price list, a booking button, a sign-up form, a map, a featured product that changes weekly. At that point you are describing a small website, and the question becomes why it lives on someone else's address.

Build your own link page on your own domain

The last of the Linktree alternatives is to own the page. A link page is one of the smallest things an AI agent builds, and one of the few a business uses every day. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Manus and Meta's Muse can all write the code for one and leave you to host it. A Jobbit agent builds it, hosts it and connects the domain in the same chat. This is the message to send:

Here is what you get that a rented page does not give you:

• Your address. The page lives at your own domain on Go, £7 a month or £70 a year with hosting, a custom domain and SSL. You can search for a name on the domains page or point one you already own.
• No logo and no fee on sales from the tool. Buttons go to your own booking or payment link, and card fees go to your payment provider only.
• Room to grow. The same agent adds a price list, a booking system, a gift voucher page or a full site later. You keep the address.
• Changes in a sentence. "Swap the top button to the Christmas menu until 2 January" is the whole job.
• A printed version. The agent makes the QR code for the counter, the window and the bag.
• A person when you need one. A photographer or designer from the human network can pick up the brand work, with payment held in escrow.

The honest limits: if you want a free page today and never plan to print the address, Linktree Free or Bio Sites costs nothing and takes five minutes. Jobbit's free plan builds and previews; putting the page on your own domain needs Go. And credits are finite, so a page you redesign daily will use them.

What to measure and the one rule on email

A link page should tell you which button earns its place. Add campaign tags to the link you put in each profile so your analytics can tell Instagram from TikTok from the QR code on the counter. Google's Analytics help says to always use utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign, and warns that the values are case sensitive, so "instagram" and "Instagram" count as two sources. Our guide to tracking QR code scans uses the same tags.

If the page collects email addresses, the Information Commissioner's Office is clear: you may not send marketing email to individuals unless they have "specifically consented" to email from you, with a narrower exception for your own past customers who were given an easy way to opt out. That is why the prompt above asks for a consent tick box. Our email newsletter guide covers the rest.

A 30-minute switch plan

1. List what your current page does. Every link, every form and the three links that get almost all the taps.
2. Choose the address. A domain you own, or the tool's address if you accept the trade.
3. Build the new page with the top three links first and nothing below the fold that nobody taps.
4. Tag each profile's link with its own utm_source.
5. Change the bio link on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook on the same day.
6. Keep the old page for a month with one button pointing to the new address, to catch old posts and printed codes.
7. Reprint the QR code the next time you reprint anything, not before.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best free alternative to Linktree?

For a free page with no subscription, Squarespace Bio Sites and Milkshake both offer unlimited links at no cost, and Beacons has a free plan that takes 9% of sales. If you have five links or fewer, Instagram's own bio links may be enough. None of the free options puts the page on your own domain.

Can I use my own domain with Linktree?

No. Linktree's help centre says every Linktree uses a linktr.ee address and that you cannot replace it with your own domain. Paid plans can redirect visitors to another site, but the address you share stays Linktree's.

How much does Linktree cost in the UK?

On 11 November 2026 the UK pricing page showed Starter at £5 a month or £4.08 billed annually, Pro at £9 or £7.50, and Premium at £18.50 or £16. There is a free plan, and Pro and Premium have a seven-day trial.

Does Linktree take a cut of sales?

It depends on the plan. Linktree sells Pro with 0% fees and its help centre says the transaction fee depends on your plan, with Stripe's card processing charged on top in every case. Check the fee shown in your own account before you start selling.

Is Carrd better than Linktree?

It is different. Carrd builds a one-page website you design yourself, and Pro Standard at $19 a year lets you use your own domain for up to ten sites. Linktree is faster to set up and has built-in selling tools. Choose Carrd for ownership and price, Linktree for speed.

Do I need a link in bio tool at all?

Not always. Instagram has been reported to allow up to five bio links since 2023. A link page is worth having when you need opening hours, a booking button, a price list or a sign-up form in one place that you can change without editing every profile.

Can an AI agent build my link in bio page?

Yes. Send the list of links, your colours and your details, and the agent builds a phone-first page you can preview before paying. On Jobbit the free plan gives 100 credits a day with no card, and Go at £7 a month hosts the page on your own domain with SSL.
