the comparison
The Linktree alternative that does not charge you for your own numbers.
Linktree is the biggest link in bio product and most people are on its free tier. Below is where the two of us put the same feature, taken from what Linktree publishes about its own plans, next to what we do.
A bio link gets more traffic than most websites do, and it usually hands that traffic straight back to the platform it came from. A tap, a scroll, gone. The visitor is counted and then forgotten, and the only record you keep is a follower number you do not control.
urls.bio is built the other way round. The page is the thing people land on, every visitor can leave an address that goes into a list you can read, export and take somewhere else, and the numbers telling you which link did the work are free. Everything below follows from that.

Not a feature they publish
Every Linktree row above is what Linktree publishes about its own plans, read on 27 August 2026. Linktree states that its pricing varies by region and is shown in local currency, so these rows compare which plan a feature sits on rather than quoting a price. Check it yourself:
what we do differently
What we do differently, stated plainly.
- bring the page you already have
Paste your address and we read the page, then show you a receipt of what every single thing becomes here before anything is built. Your links, headings, sections, pictures and embeds land as themselves; anything without an exact match says what it became instead and why. Your colours and button shape come too. Your handle stays yours.
How importing works- own your list
Every visitor can leave an email, and the address is written to a list stored against your profile. Export the whole thing to CSV whenever you want, with the date each person subscribed. Close the account and the addresses are still yours.
Email capture- instant sync
New subscribers land in Klaviyo, Mailchimp, beehiiv, or your own webhook on the same request that thanks the visitor. Nothing waits for a nightly job, so the welcome flow you already built fires while they are still on the page.
See the integrations- honest analytics on every plan
Views and subscribers by day, clicks per link, referrers, and a country map, free from day one. Your own visits and known bots are dropped before anything is written down, and visitor IPs are hashed rather than stored raw. Pro adds the 90 day and one year ranges.
What analytics show- one link to your record
Paste a link from any streaming service and the Release block finds the rest: artwork, title, artist, and a button for every service carrying it. Hide the ones you do not use, order the rest, and see which service your audience actually taps. Free, and no second subscription to a smart-link product.
The Release block- a media kit brands can check
Views, link taps, click-through rate and subscribers over ninety days, measured by your own page and dated, with no field to type them into. Follower counts you enter sit under them labelled self-reported. The rest builds itself from your logo strip, your menu and your gallery. Part of Pro.
The media kit- write to the list, not just collect it
Posts go out from no-reply@yourhandle.urls.bio with your name on the front and replies landing in your inbox. The review sheet counts who it reaches and who is skipped before it sends, and the report afterwards shows delivered, opened, clicked, unsubscribed, and marked spam. Part of Pro.
The newsletter- 25 block types
A page is assembled, not configured. Polls with live results, countdowns to a release, a voice intro in your own voice, galleries that open full screen in a lightbox, a discount code that copies itself, embeds that play in place.
Every block type- sections that are not just a fold
Group blocks and arrange them as a stack, a grid of tiles, or a row people swipe, and fold any of those or leave it open. As many sections as you like on one page, free on every plan, with tiles cropped to one shape so a grid never comes out ragged.
Sections- a page that starts built
Seven starter pages, each seeding real blocks in a sensible order with a theme, a font, and a background already set. Every placeholder is a prompt to replace rather than lorem, and a starter is only ever applied to a page with nothing on it.
Starter pages- free to start
Claim the handle you want and your page is live in a few minutes. No card at signup, and the free plan is free forever rather than free for a fortnight. Pro is there when you want the history, the sync, and your own domain.
Claim your handle- one committed design system
Real typography, real spacing, and themes that change on the page while you look at them. Fonts, colors, button shape, avatar shape, and backgrounds are yours to set, and the result reads like something you built rather than something you filled in.
See the six themes- motion you can switch off
Ten animations, six that reveal a block as it scrolls in and four that play once in place, set on one block or on the whole page. Off by default, and off entirely for a visitor whose device asks for reduced motion.
Block animations- custom domains on pro
Point your own domain at your page for $5.99 a month. One DNS record, a certificate issued automatically once it resolves, and your urls.bio address keeps working alongside it.
How domains work
what we do not do
The parts you should know before you switch.
- no ads marketplace
- We do not sell placements on your page, and no brand can pay to appear on it. The only things on your page are the ones you put there.
- no follower count games
- There are no vanity scores, no leaderboards, and no badge that unlocks at ten thousand of anything. The numbers we show you are clicks, subscribers, and where they came from.
Linktree is not affiliated with urls.bio. Anything this page says about Linktree is what Linktree publishes about its own plans, linked above so you can read it yourself, and it may have changed since. Compare it yourself before you move.
other comparisons
- vs beaconsThe page and the people who found it, without a storefront bolted on. What urls.bio does, and what it deliberately does not.
- vs bentoSix themes that change the whole page, and blocks that do more than sit there. What urls.bio ships for a page you want to look at.
- vs stan storeThe page, the audience, and the newsletter, with no product hosting anywhere in it. The clearest trade of the four.
questions
Straight answers.
- Can I move my links across?
- Paste your Linktree address during signup and we read the page, show you exactly what each thing would become here, and build it once you say so. Anything we do not have an exact match for is named on that screen with what it became instead, so nothing is quietly dropped or quietly changed.
- Do I have to pay to start?
- No. The free plan is free forever, with unlimited links, themes, email capture, and the last 30 days of analytics. Pro is $5.99 a month.
- What happens to my list if I leave?
- You export it. Every address is yours, with the date each person subscribed, and the CSV is the same file whether you are backing up or moving on.
