Both tools give you one link that holds many links. The difference is what happens after someone taps it: a link list sends people away to buy, while a bio link store lets them buy, book or subscribe on the page itself.
Pricing and feature claims verified August 2026. Both products change — if something here is out of date, tell us.
Linktree is a good product. If a link list is the job, switching tools gains you very little.

|---|---|---|
| List of links in one pageBoth tools do the core job well. This is not a reason to switch. | Yes | Yes |
| Free plan | Yes | Yes |
| Product section with images, prices and buy buttonsCheck their current tier list — commerce packaging changes often. | Built in, on every plan including free | Commerce features available on paid tiers |
| Email lead capture form on the page | Built in, no third-party tool needed | Available, typically on paid tiers |
| Event listings with dates and ticket links | Dedicated section type | Not a dedicated section type |
| Countdown timer | Dedicated section type, auto-hides when it ends | Not a dedicated section type |
| URL shortener with click tracking | Included — linkthe.app/go/ links with expiry and UTMs | Not a core feature |
| Social media scheduling | Instagram feed and reels, X and LinkedIn, from the same dashboard | Not offered |
| AI copy suggestions | GPT-4o for bios, link titles, product descriptions and captions | Not offered |
| Custom domain | Paid plans, one CNAME record | Available on higher tiers |
| Transaction fee on products | None — buttons link to your own checkout | Depends on which commerce feature you use |
| Brand recognition and ecosystemAn honest point in their favour, and it matters if you value maturity. | Smaller, newer product | Far larger — better known, more integrations, more templates |
With a link list, a product is a line of text. Someone reads “My new course”, taps, waits for a third-party page to load, and only then sees what it is and what it costs. Every one of those steps loses people. A product section puts the image, the price and the buy button in front of them immediately, and the button still goes to your own Shopify, Gumroad, Etsy or Ko-fi checkout — so you keep your existing payment setup and pay us no transaction fee.
The usual workaround is a link to a third-party form, which means another page load and another brand in front of your audience. A built-in lead capture section collects the email inline, stores it against the page it came from, and exports to CSV whenever you want it.
Total clicks tell you that something worked. What you need is which thing. Analytics breaks out page views, per-link clicks, product and event interactions, contact-button taps, traffic sources, locations and devices — and short links extend the same tracking to campaigns that never touch your bio page.
Free pages live at linkthe.app/yourname. On paid plans you can remove our branding entirely and point your own domain at the page with a single CNAME record, so the address reads as part of your own site.
