Linktree alternatives for small businesses (2026)

Good picks by need

• Lessstack if you want the bio page plus short links, QR codes, forms, waitlists and review requests in one place.
• Carrd if you want a one-page site on your own domain at a low yearly price.
• Bio.link or Beacons if you're a creator who mainly wants a link page with built-in extras.

Should you switch at all?

Stay on Linktree if:

• your page is a handful of links and the free plan covers it;
• you rely on its commerce features or integrations;
• its brand recognition matters to your audience.

Linktree's plans are Free, Starter, Pro and Premium. Prices vary by region, and removing Linktree branding is listed under Premium (linktr.ee/s/pricing, fetched 7 Oct 2026). Check that page for your region's price rather than trusting third-party numbers.

Here's what users say in Linktree threads:

“if you want pro features like a custom domain or analytics, you have to pay a monthly subscription, which sucks.”

r/socialmedia, "Linktree alternatives?"

“nobody comes back after the first click. you visit once, tap one link, leave forever.”

r/socialmedia, "Are people moving away from Linktree after the price increase?"

Why the capture point matters

That last point matters more than price. A link page only pays off if it captures something: an email, a booking, a review, a form answer. If yours only forwards clicks, the most useful upgrade is a page that keeps the visitor, whichever tool you pick.

What to look for (a 5-point checklist)

1. Capture. Can a visitor leave an email, answer a form or join a waitlist on the page, without a paid add-on?
2. Analytics you'll actually read. Clicks per link, plus where the clicks came from (UTM tags).
3. Portability. Can you export your contacts? Is the URL yours (a custom domain), or the platform's?
4. Connected tools. Does the bio page link to your own forms, QR codes and booking page, or to five other services?
5. Pricing model. Monthly, yearly or one-time? Do the features you need sit on the cheapest tier?

On portability: Bento.me, a link-in-bio tool owned by Linktree, shut down on 13 February 2026. Bento URLs now redirect to Linktree's homepage (devbio.me; note that devbio.me sells a competing product). One former user on Hacker News: "after Linktree folded the app, I have been searching for an alternative" (news.ycombinator.com, 31 Aug 2026). Whatever you choose, keep a copy of your links and export your list regularly.

1. Lessstack: best if your link page needs to do things (forms, waitlist, reviews, QR)

Disclosure: this is our product.

Lessstack is a small-business toolbox. Your link-in-bio page (lessstack.com/p/yourname) lives next to short links with UTM tags, dynamic QR codes, forms, waitlists, review-request pages, a booking-link page, free downloads (lead magnets) and a brand kit that keeps them all on-brand. Signups from waitlists and free downloads land in one contacts list, which you can export as CSV.

• Good for: cafés, salons, coaches, freelancers and small shops whose bio link should collect bookings, reviews or signups.
• How it works: add a bio page → link it to a Lessstack form, waitlist or review page → print the dynamic QR code → see clicks, form responses, waitlist signups and review clicks on one overview.
• Honest limits today:
  • no custom domain (pages live on lessstack.com);
  • no click tracking on the bio page itself (put Lessstack short links on it to count clicks);
  • no shop or checkout features;
  • QR codes download as PNG only.
• Price: Free ($0), Starter ($3/month or $29/year) and Pro ($7/month or $59/year). Every tool is on every plan. See the Lessstack pricing page.

2. Carrd: best for a cheap one-page site on your own domain

Carrd builds simple one-page sites, billed yearly. Pro adds custom domains, forms (connected to email tools like Mailchimp, MailerLite or Kit), embeds and no branding. The cheaper "Pro Lite" tier removes branding but doesn't include custom domains (carrd.co/pro, fetched 7 Oct 2026; check that page for current prices).

• Pick it if: you want a page that looks like a real website and are happy to wire up your own email tool.
• Skip it if: you want built-in contacts, QR codes or review pages without connecting other services.

3. Bio.link: best for creators who want a site, posts and an email list in one plan

Bio.link offers one Pro plan. It includes custom domains, no branding, an email list, posts and an AI assistant (bio.link, fetched 7 Oct 2026; check their page for the current price).

• Pick it if: you're a creator and like a single plan with a custom domain.
• Skip it if: you need booking pages, review requests or invoices.

4. Beacons: best for creators monetising directly from the page

Beacons is built around creator income: a store, a media kit and email marketing. We couldn't load its pricing page reliably, so check beacons.ai for current plans and fees. One thread worth reading before you use its email features: "Do not use Beacons.ai for email marketing" (r/Emailmarketing).

• Pick it if: selling digital products from your bio is the main goal.
• Skip it if: you're a local business that needs bookings, reviews and QR codes more than a store.

5. Linktree Free (stay put): best if a link list is all you need

Honestly, if you don't need capture or a custom domain, the free plan is fine. Put tracked short links (with UTM tags) on it so your analytics tool can see where traffic came from.

6. Your own website page: best long-term portability

A /links page on your own domain (WordPress, Squarespace or Framer) can never be shut down by someone else. The trade-off is you build the forms, analytics and QR codes yourself.
