Linktree Pricing Overview: All 4 Plans

Linktree currently offers four pricing tiers. Here is what each plan includes (US dollars, billed monthly) as of September 2026:

Free — $0/month

Unlimited links, basic analytics (the last 28 days plus lifetime totals; no location or referrer insights), limited theme customization, email sign-up collection, and Linktree branding on your page. You cannot remove the Linktree logo. It is functional for someone who just needs a list of links and nothing else.

Starter — $8/month

Everything in Free plus more appearance options, link scheduling, and 90-day analytics. Linktree branding stays on the page (removal requires Pro). You still do not get advanced analytics or the full customization suite. Billed annually, it works out to about $6 per month.

Pro — $15/month

Everything in Starter plus removal of Linktree branding, custom themes, fonts and layouts, advanced analytics, and mailing-list integrations. This is the plan most serious creators end up on. Billed annually, it is $12 per month.

Premium — $35/month

Everything in Pro plus 0% seller fees, dynamic links and smart routing, analytics export, social media scheduling and unlimited Instagram auto-replies. This plan targets businesses and agencies managing multiple accounts. Billed annually, it is $30 per month. For individual creators, the jump from Pro to Premium rarely makes sense.

What Changed: The 2025 Price Increase

Linktree raised its prices in November 2025. Pro is now $15/month billed monthly ($12/month billed annually), and Starter is $8/month.

The core product did not change dramatically at the time of the increase. You still get a page with links. The analytics got slightly better. Theme options expanded. But for most users, the product now costs more for essentially the same experience.

This price increase pushed a lot of creators to re-evaluate whether Linktree was worth it, especially when competitors like SocialsLink, Lnk.Bio, and Carrd offer comparable or better features at a fraction of the cost.

What You Do Not Get on the Free Plan

The Linktree free plan is genuinely limited in ways that matter:

  • No mailing-list integrations — the free plan collects emails, but syncing to Mailchimp or Google Sheets needs Pro
  • No advanced analytics — you get 28 days of history plus lifetime totals, but no location or referral-source insights (those need Pro)
  • No custom domain (on any Linktree plan) — your URL is always linktr.ee/username, which looks less professional and does not help your SEO
  • Limited themes — the free designs feel dated and you cannot fully customize colors or fonts
  • Linktree branding — a "Made with Linktree" badge appears on your page, which some viewers click instead of your links
  • No link scheduling — you cannot set links to appear or disappear at specific times
  • No conversion tracking — you have no way to measure which links drive actual results

The free plan is fine for personal use or testing. But if you are using your link-in-bio for any kind of business or creator career, you will hit the limitations fast.

Is Linktree Pro Worth $15 per Month?

Here is an honest take: Linktree Pro is a good product. The analytics are solid and the theme customization is the most mature in the space. If you are already invested in the Linktree ecosystem and the $15 does not bother you, there is nothing wrong with staying.

But "good" is not the same as "worth the price." At $15 per month — $180 per year — you are paying more than a Spotify Premium subscription for what is fundamentally a page with links on it. The features Linktree gates behind Pro — advanced analytics, mailing-list integrations, removing branding — are available for free or much cheaper on other platforms.

The honest answer is that at $15, you are paying a premium for brand recognition and ecosystem lock-in, not for features that competitors cannot match.

If you are a brand or business with an existing Linktree setup integrated into ad campaigns and QR codes, the switching cost may outweigh the savings. If you are a creator starting fresh or looking to cut costs, there are better options.

Cheaper Alternatives That Do More

Here is how the main alternatives compare to Linktree Pro at $15 per month:

SocialsLink — US$4/month (or free)

Free plan includes basic analytics, Twitch live detection, OBS QR overlay, and email collection. Pro at US$4 per month adds unlimited links, gamer themes, advanced analytics, and no branding. That is $48 per year compared to Linktree's $180 on monthly billing. The main weakness: SocialsLink is newer and has fewer integrations. The strength: it is purpose-built for streamers and creators and costs 73 percent less than Linktree Pro.

Lnk.Bio — free, or pay once from $9.99

Lnk.Bio has a free plan plus pay-once lifetime tiers: Mini ($9.99, or $0.99/month) and Unique ($24.99). The trade-off is a less polished design and fewer analytics features than Linktree or SocialsLink. But if you want to pay once and never think about it again, Lnk.Bio is hard to beat on value.

Carrd — from $9/year

Carrd is not strictly a link-in-bio tool — it is a one-page website builder. But many creators use it as one because you get full design control from $9 per year. Carrd Pro starts at $9/year (Pro Lite); custom domains, forms and analytics need Pro Standard at $19/year. You can build exactly the page you want with custom HTML, forms, and integrations. The downside: setup requires more effort than drag-and-drop tools. Best for designers and people who want total control.

Beacons — Free, or paid from $10/month

Beacons offers a generous free plan with email collection, a media kit, and a digital storefront. The catch is aggressive Beacons branding and upsells baked into the page experience. Paid plans start at $10 per month; branding removal and 0% seller fees start at $30 per month (Creator Plus), double Linktree Pro. Great free tier, but removing branding is expensive.

Who Should Use Linktree vs Alternatives

The right tool depends on your situation:

Stick with Linktree if...

You already have a Linktree URL embedded in printed materials, QR codes, or ad campaigns. Changing your link breaks those references. You also might prefer Linktree if you use their Shopify or Mailchimp integrations heavily and do not want to re-configure them.

Switch to SocialsLink if...

You are a streamer or creator who wants live detection, OBS overlays, and dark gamer themes. Or you want the same core features as Linktree Pro at US$4 per month instead of $15. The migration takes about five minutes — add your links, pick a theme, update your bios.

Use Lnk.Bio if...

You want to pay once and forget about it. The pay-once lifetime plans (from $9.99) are unbeatable if you just need a reliable page with links and do not care about advanced analytics or live detection features.

Use Carrd if...

You want full design control and do not mind a more manual setup. Carrd, from $9 per year, gives you a completely custom one-page site. Best for freelancers, designers, and anyone who wants their bio page to look truly unique.
