Measure the taps
Link in bio with analytics
A bio page is a tiny funnel. Without per-link numbers you cannot tell whether people tap the newsletter, the shop or the latest video. This entry compares what each tool shows you, for free and paid, and how long it keeps the data.

Three levels of bio analytics
- Totals. Page views and total clicks. Linktree free stops here.
- Per link, with retention. Which link, when, from which country and device, kept for a stated period. Milkshake keeps 30 days free and 365 on Pro. ReSlug keeps 30 days free and 365 on Pro. Beacons and Komi describe real-time and performance analytics without a stated retention.
- Attribution. Pixels and UTM tags that tie a tap to a sale or a sign-up elsewhere. Milkshake Pro adds a Meta pixel and a UTM campaign builder; Komi Pro and Beacons add pixels; ReSlug Pro adds UTM routing and retargeting pixels on links.
The bot problem nobody mentions
Every time your bio link is pasted into Slack, WhatsApp, X or an email scanner, a bot fetches it to build a preview. That fetch counts as a visit unless the tool filters it. Of the tools here, only ReSlug documents bot filtering on every plan. If your numbers look oddly high the day you share a link, this is usually why. Read the hub's analytics comparison for how the shorteners handle it.
Retention is the number to check
Thirty days is enough to compare two weeks of posts. A year is what you need to see seasonality or report to a sponsor. Milkshake Pro ($6.99 a month) and ReSlug Pro ($9) both keep 365 days. Linktree reserves all-time analytics and data export for Premium at about $35 a month. Beacons and Komi do not state a retention window on their pricing pages.
