Is Linktree Free? What You Get and Where the Limits Start

Is Linktree free?

Yes. Linktree's free tier is a permanent plan rather than a trial, and there is no expiry date on it. You can publish a page at linktr.ee/yourname, add as many links as you like, and never pay anything.

Linktree runs four tiers: Free, Starter, Pro, Premium. The free one is the entry point and it is not crippled. Paying unlocks design control, deeper analytics, integrations and lower selling fees, not the ability to have a working page.

What does the free Linktree plan include?

The free plan covers the core job of a link-in-bio page. This is what you get without paying:

• Unlimited links. There is no cap on how many destinations you add, which is the single most important thing and the thing people most often assume is limited.
• A hosted page at linktr.ee/yourname, with no time limit.
• Core appearance options: a set of basic themes and colours.
• Basic analytics, so you can see clicks and views.
• One Featured link, the larger highlighted style used to draw attention to a single destination.
• Instagram auto-reply DMs, capped at 1,000 a month.
• The ability to sell digital products and courses, at a higher fee than paid plans.

What the free plan does not include

These are the real boundaries, not a list padded to make the free plan look worse than it is:

The branding point is worth being precise about, because it is the one most often reported incorrectly. Removing the Linktree footer is not available on the cheapest paid tier. It requires Pro or Premium.

Linktree free vs paid: what actually changes

Ignore the full feature matrix. For most people the decision comes down to four things:

• Do you need the page to look like your brand rather than like Linktree? That is the strongest reason to pay, and it is what most upgrades are actually for.
• Do you need analytics further back than the current window? Free shows basic numbers; history is what you are buying.
• Do you need the data to reach your other tools? Email platform integrations, Meta Pixel, UTMs and Google Analytics are all paid.
• Are you selling? The fee difference compounds. At a low volume it is noise; at a few hundred sales it is the whole reason to upgrade.

If none of those four apply to you, the free plan is not a limited version of what you need. It is what you need.

Who the free plan is good for

Honestly: most people. Linktree's free tier is one of the more generous in this category, mainly because of the unlimited links. It is a good fit if you are a creator pointing followers at a few destinations, someone who needs one link in an Instagram bio, a hobby project or small community, or anyone testing whether a link-in-bio page is even useful before spending anything.

It is also the safest first choice precisely because it is so widely used. Recognition has value: people know what a linktr.ee URL is when they see one.

When to consider something else

There are a few situations where the free plan genuinely runs out, and where switching beats upgrading:

• You need to capture contacts, not just send clicks away. If the point is to collect enquiries, a page that only forwards traffic is the wrong shape.
• You are handing the link out in person. If you are sharing at events or on printed cards, you want contact sharing and a QR code, which is a different job from a social bio link.
• You want branding removed but not the rest of a paid plan. Paying for Pro to delete a footer is a poor trade if you do not want the analytics and integrations that come with it.
• You are selling enough for the fee to matter. Compare the fee difference against a year of the plan that reduces it.

None of those is a criticism of Linktree. They are cases where you want a different kind of product, not a better version of the same one.

Free Linktree alternatives worth knowing

Every one of these has a free tier. They are genuinely different products, so pick by the job rather than by the feature count:

Linktree vs Blyn BioCard

We make one of the alternatives above, so treat this section as what it is. Here is the honest split.

Linktree is the better choice if you want the most recognised link-in-bio product, if you sell digital products or courses and want that built in, if you want Instagram auto-reply DMs, or if you want scheduled links. Blyn does not do any of those things.

Blyn BioCard is built around a different assumption: that the page is also how you introduce yourself to someone in person. On the free plan it gives you unlimited links, a downloadable QR code, one-tap contact sharing, email capture, a custom lead form, a booking call-to-action, a featured video, social profiles and click analytics. Several of those are paid features on Linktree, and lead capture in particular is not something Linktree's free plan does at all.

The short answer

Linktree is free, permanently, with unlimited links. You pay when you want the page to look like yours, when you need analytics history or integrations, or when selling fees start to matter. If what you actually need is to collect contacts and share yourself in person rather than forward clicks, that is a different product rather than a paid tier. Everything here was checked against Linktree's own documentation in September 2026.
