## Ways to pay less

## Key features

- **Link in bio page:** One link for a profile on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other social platforms, with featured links on paid plans.
- **Selling and earning:** Sell digital products and online courses, add sponsored links and affiliate commissions; Pro lists 0% fees on sales.
- **Email and phone sign-ups:** Collects sign-ups on the page; Pro adds mailing list integrations so leads go to an email service.
- **Social scheduling:** Premium includes scheduling social media posts to go live across platforms.
- **Instagram auto-replies:** Automates replies to Instagram comments and triggers direct messages; unlimited on Premium.
- **Team workspaces:** Growth and Scale plans manage 9 or 50 Linktrees in one workspace with roles; Enterprise is custom priced.

## Good for

- Creators who need a single link page for social profiles
- Agencies managing many creator pages from one workspace
- Sellers adding a small store to a social following

## Worth knowing

- The free plan carries restrictions, and Pro is where Linktree branding is removed and sales fees reach 0%.
- Payouts are charged $0.25 each, and other transaction and processing fees may apply.
- Link rules, data export and Instagram automation are limited to Premium at $30 per month billed annually.
- Prices were read in US dollars from a machine in India, so they may not match a US visitor's view.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Linktree makes a link-in-bio page with sign-ups, a store and scheduling, from a free plan up to $30 a month. Linktree branding stays on until the $14 Pro plan, and the free plan's restrictions are why most people end up paying.

- **Value for money: B.** Starter is $7 a month billed annually ($9 monthly), inside the category's cheapest quarter that starts at $10. Pro, where branding goes, is $14, and Premium is $30.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Unlimited basic links and email and phone sign-ups on the free plan, with restrictions. Branding stays and sales fees only reach 0% on Pro, so you will meet the caps. Paid plans have a 7-day trial.
- **Features: C.** A link page, selling, sign-ups, scheduling, Instagram auto-replies and team spaces. Gaps are on the plan ladder: link rules, data export and unlimited auto-replies need Premium.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. The page is quick to start, but a store, sign-ups and scheduling each need setting up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iOS and Android, with Shopify, Spotify and Instagram connections. There is no desktop program.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Linktree you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 11 of the 28 other tools for selling digital products grade higher. It costs $84 a year.

- You could make: Digital downloads and online courses: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
