The best Linktree alternatives in 2026 (free and paid)

TL;DR

The best free Linktree alternative for creators who want to sell is Beacons: the free plan includes a link in bio, a store with unlimited digital products, a media kit, 50 email sends a month and Beam, an AI assistant that builds the page with you on every plan. Stan Store ($29 a month, no free plan) is the best focused storefront, KOMI suits creators who want brand campaigns matched to them, and Carrd (from $9 a year) is the cheapest custom one-page site.

What selling costs you

You keep = sales minus plan price (yearly prices spread monthly, one-time prices left out), platform fee and Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30 per order), with $20 orders.

Free tiers either take a cut or can't sell paid products, and $8 to $30 a month buys 0%. On Beacons, I'd stay on Free while you're still testing products, then move to Creator Plus ($30) when you want 0% Beacons fees, email with no monthly send limit, and courses with video hosting.

How we compared

We used official pricing pages (Nov 2, 2026). We make Beacons, so where another tool is the better fit, we say so. I run our creator email, so I kept the email comparisons to plan limits rather than my opinion of each tool's editor.

1. Beacons: best free all-in-one alternative

Beacons' free plan includes unlimited digital products, 50 email sends a month, a self-updating media kit and Instagram auto-DMs. Beam, its AI assistant, is on every plan: ask it to build the page, add products, write emails or draft brand pitches.

Pricing: Creator ($10 a month) adds a custom domain, free for the first year, and 500 sends. Creator Plus ($30) drops the Beacons fee to 0% and adds email with no monthly send limit, courses with video hosting, memberships and 100% of affiliate commissions on Creator Plus (no Beacons fee). Creator Max ($100 a month, or $83.33 billed annually) adds white-glove onboarding, prioritized support, Google Workspace on your custom domain, an NFC card and VIP events. Where it wins: a free account can publish links, sell, send email and pitch brands on day one with Beam. Where it doesn't: Stan's funnels are more mature for high-volume stores; Linktree Pro costs less for a seller who only needs a store.

2. Stan Store: best focused storefront

Stan is a $29-a-month storefront with 0% fees and a 14-day trial. Creator Pro ($99) adds funnels, order bumps, discount codes and email.

Where it wins: clean checkout and 0% from the first dollar. Where it doesn't: you pay before you sell anything, and there's no media kit.

3. KOMI: best for inbound brand deals

KOMI's free Starter plan includes links, fan contacts and access to its brand-deal platform, which matches creators with campaigns. Pro ($20 a month) adds 0% fees on digital product sales, email campaigns and a custom domain.

Where it wins: brand campaigns matched to you on the free tier, and a media-rich layout. Where it doesn't: Starter can't send email or sell.

4. Carrd: cheapest custom landing page

Carrd is a one-page site builder: Pro Lite is $9 a year for 3 sites, and Pro Standard $19 a year for 10 sites with a custom domain and forms.

Where it wins: full design control for under a dollar a month. Where it doesn't: no store or email, so selling means bolting on another tool.

5. Taplink: cheapest paid link page with payments

Taplink's Pro is $4 a month prepaid yearly, and Business ($8 a month prepaid yearly) adds payments, digital products, a custom domain and branding removal.

Where it wins: the lowest price here for a 0% payments page on your own domain. Where it doesn't: no month-to-month billing (the shortest term is 3 months) or media kit.

6. Lnk.Bio: cheapest one-time upgrade

Lnk.Bio is a minimalist link page: Mini is $0.99 a month or $9.99 once, and Unique ($24.99 once) removes the logo and adds a shop that takes 5%.

Where it wins: a clean link list with no monthly bill. Where it doesn't: a 5% shop fee and no brand tools.

7. Milkshake: best free phone-built option

Milkshake builds card-style pages from your phone, free, with Lite ($2.99 a month), Pro ($59.99 a year) and Pro+ ($99.99 a year, adding a custom domain). Every plan sells files through Stripe at 7% to 12%.

Where it wins: quick to set up and sells without upgrading. Where it doesn't: no 0% plan, and email is a hand-off to other tools.

8. Later Linkin.bio: best if you already use Later

Linkin.bio comes with Later's scheduling plans, from $18.75 a month billed yearly, and turns your grid into clickable posts.

Where it wins: link-to-post mapping for Later users. Where it doesn't: $225 a year for a link page with no store.
