Linktree Alternatives: 5 Free and Paid Options Compared

The main Linktree alternatives are Beacons, Stan, Carrd, Later's Link in Bio and Zelect, and each one wins for a different kind of page. Choose Beacons or Stan to sell your own digital products, Carrd to build a custom one-page site for a few dollars a year, Later if you already schedule posts there, and Zelect if your links are mostly affiliate products.

Linktree is still a sensible default. Its Free plan includes unlimited links, and plenty of creators never need more. People usually look for an alternative for one of three reasons: the price of the paid plans, the fee on product sales, or a page of text buttons that doesn't fit what they share.

Prices and features below come from each tool's official pages, checked in October 2026. Zelect is our product, and its section says so.

Why do creators look for a Linktree alternative?

Linktree has four plans: Free, Starter, Pro and Premium. Its pricing page shows prices in your local currency, so the amount depends on where you live. Three points push people to compare:

• Fees on your own products. Linktree's own pricing table lists a 12% fee on digital products and courses on Free, 9% on Starter and Pro, and 0% on Premium.
• Features behind Pro. Hiding the Linktree logo, SEO settings and the Amazon affiliate feature are marked for Pro and Premium.
• The format. A list of buttons works for "my podcast, my newsletter, my latest video." It works less well for 40 products.

If you're weighing Linktree against a product storefront specifically, our Linktree vs storefront comparison covers when Linktree is enough.

How do the top Linktree alternatives compare?

Sources: Beacons pricing help, Stan pricing (updated July 22, 2026), Carrd Pro, Later pricing and Zelect plans.

Beacons: is it the right Linktree alternative for selling?

Beacons pairs a link in bio page with a store for your own products. Its help center lists four plans: Free, Creator at $10 a month ($100 a year), Creator Plus at $30 and Creator Max at $90. Free and Creator pay a 9% transaction fee on store sales, and Creator Plus and up pay 0%. Removing the Beacons logo starts on Creator Plus.

Linktree vs Beacons: both are link pages with selling features. Beacons leans further into the store side. If most of your income is your own downloads, Beacons is the better fit. If most of your page is links, Linktree's Free plan is simpler.

Stan: who should pay for it?

Stan is a creator store first. There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Creator costs $29 a month ($300 a year) and Creator Pro $99 a month ($948 a year). Stan says it charges 0% transaction fees, though Stripe or PayPal fees still apply.

For a coach selling a program or a creator with a paid course, Stan's built-in checkout earns the price. For someone who mostly shares links, $29 a month buys features they won't use. That's why "Stan Store alternative" is its own search: people who signed up for the trial and found they only needed a link page.

Carrd: when is a one-page site better?

Carrd builds simple one-page websites, and some creators use one as their bio link. It has a free plan, and its Pro plans are billed yearly: Pro Lite costs $9 a year, and custom domains start with Pro Standard at $19 a year.

Carrd gives you more control over layout than any other tool here, at a low yearly price. You lay out sections, images and buttons yourself. The trade-off is that you build and update everything by hand, with no store and no product import.

Later Link in Bio: is it worth it?

Later is a social media scheduler, and its Link in Bio page comes with every plan. The cheapest plan, Starter, costs $18.75 a month billed yearly. It's a good deal if you already want a scheduler, since the bio page is included. It's an expensive choice if the bio page is the only part you'd use.

Zelect: when does a storefront beat a link list?

Zelect is our product. It's built for one job: showing affiliate products. You paste a product link from Amazon, Shopee, Mercado Livre, AliExpress or most other stores, and Zelect fills in the photo, title and price where the store page publishes them. Products go into categories with their own links, every product gets its own page, and a product can carry several buy buttons, like "Amazon" and "Walmart."

The Free plan has one storefront with 25 products and 3 categories, no credit card. Pro costs $4.90 a month for 2 storefronts and 100 products each, with all themes. Ultra costs $5.90 a month and adds click analytics, a custom domain and your logo. Zelect has no checkout and takes no commission: followers buy on the store, and the affiliate program pays you.

Where it falls short: it can't sell your own downloads or courses, and it isn't meant for a page of podcast and newsletter links. For that, Linktree, Beacons or Stan are better picks. Our best link in bio for affiliate marketing roundup goes deeper on the affiliate side.

Which Linktree alternative should you choose?

Whatever you pick, move in one go. Build the new page, then update the link on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube the same day, and leave a pointer on your old Linktree for a few weeks. Our guide on getting more clicks on your link in bio has tips that work with any of these tools, and if you share products, see how to organize affiliate links into a storefront.

Your next step: count how many of your Linktree buttons are products. If it's most of them, create a free Zelect storefront and rebuild your top ten links as product cards. It takes a few minutes, and you can compare the two pages before you switch.
