There are dozens of bio link tools out there. And while many are completely free, others charge a paid monthly subscription.
But what about Linktree? Is Linktree free?
Linktree is completely free to use with the free plan. However, Linktree also has three paid plans that give you additional features that aren’t included in the free plan.
In this post, we will discuss the features and capabilities of Linktree’s free plan, its three paid plans, as well as other bio link tools with free plans.

Linktree is a bio link tool. It’s essentially a one-page website builder where you can store your links to your social media profiles, apps, blogs, e-commerce stores, and more.
However, while the platform is relatively simple there is lots you can do to customize your Linktree. There are many features that allow you to create certain types of links, and change design elements like fonts and themes.
Linktree’s free plan includes the basic Linktree features that are sufficient for most casual users. A few of the key features that you get with the free plan include:
Unlimited links: You can place as many links on your Linktree as you want

In addition to Linktree’s free plan, Linktree has three paid plans:
- Starter ($5/month)

- Premium ($24/month)
Each of these plans include all the features you get with the free plan and then some. Some of the key additional features that you get with each plan go as follows:
Starter ($5/month)
In addition to all of the features you get with the free plan, the Starter plan gives you the following key features:
Schedule: Schedule links to go live and then vanish at certain times in the future

Additional customization: With the start plan you can customize the design of your Linktree in multiple ways. You can further customize your design with stock background images or video, NFT background, extended themes (additional themes that you don’t get with the free versions), and button and font styles.
Social icon analytics: Get data on how many times your social icons have been clicked.
Commerce revenue: Get data on how much revenue you have generated through your commerce links.
Individual link analytics: Track clicks on each and every one of your links on your Linktree.

Pro ($9/month)
With the Pro plan, you get all the features in the free plan and the starter plan in addition to the following features:

Premium ($24)
With the Premium plan, you get ust a few additional features that aren’t available on the other plans.
For one, you can export your data in a CSV file. This one feature alone can make the Premium plan worth the money for those that want to take their marketing seriously.
Additionally, you get additional support. For instance, with the Premium plan, you get your very own Customer Success Manager that you can reach out to directly for help. Additionally, the customer support response time is 4 hours for Premium users as opposed to the 24 hours or more with the less expensive plans.
