Answer in brief. Beacons is the best Linktree alternative for most people: unlimited links and real analytics free, selling with a 9% fee, and a free custom domain from $10 a month.
Milkshake removes branding for $2.99.
ReSlug adds a bio page to a free shortener with a custom domain and QR codes.
Carrd gives you your own domain for $19 a year.
What Linktree charges for, by tier
Linktree's pricing page lists four tiers. Free: unlimited basic links, email and phone sign-ups. Starter: personalised page, unlimited featured links, basic analytics. Pro: branding removed, custom designs, 0%-fee selling, mailing-list integrations. Premium: link rules and routing, all-time analytics, data export, scheduling. Third-party breakdowns put the prices at about $8, $15 and $35 a month. Custom domains do not appear anywhere on the page.
So the two things most people want, a page without a logo and numbers per link, sit at Pro and Starter respectively, and together cost about $15 a month. That is the figure every alternative below is measured against.
The alternatives, in order
1. Beacons Best Linktree alternative
Best for: Creators who want a store, email list and media kit behind the bio link
Free: Unlimited
Paid from $10/mo
Branding removed: Not documented
Built-in selling
Fixes three of the four complaints. Real-time analytics on free, a free custom domain on the $10 Creator plan, and a 9% selling fee that drops to 0% on Creator Plus. The open question is branding on the free page, which the pricing page does not address.
Pros
- Unlimited links, real-time analytics and unlimited digital product sales on the free plan
- A free custom domain is included from the $10 Creator plan
- Email marketing, media kit, affiliate links and Instagram auto-DM built in
- 0% seller fee on Creator Plus at $30
Cons
- 9% seller fee on Free and Creator
- Only 50 email sends a month on free
- Pricing page does not state whether free pages carry Beacons branding
- Feature breadth makes the editor busier than Linktree

2. Milkshake Cheapest fix for branding
Best for: Instagram-first creators who want a cheap, pretty page and branding removed for $3
Free: Unlimited links and cards
Paid from $2.99/mo
Branding removed: Lite
Built-in selling
$2.99 a month removes the logo, $6.99 buys a year of analytics, $10 adds a custom domain. The whole ladder costs less than Linktree Pro. Pages are phone-shaped, which suits Instagram and looks odd on desktop.
Pros
- Unlimited links and cards, QR sharing and 30 days of analytics free
- Cheapest branding removal in the list at $2.99 a month
- Custom domain on Pro+ at $10 a month ($8.33 annual)
- Sell digital files with Stripe on every plan
Cons
- 12% selling fee on Free and Lite
- Built for mobile; desktop pages are a phone-shaped column
- Custom domain is the top tier only

3. ReSlug Editorial choice for links plus bio
Best for: Creators who want short links, QR codes and a bio page in one free account
Free: 10 links, 1 page
Paid from $9/mo
Branding removed: Pro
Custom domain free
A different shape of alternative. The free account gives you a ten-link bio page plus 500 short links on your own domain, QR codes for each, and 30 days of bot-filtered analytics across all of them. Pro at $9 removes branding and allows five pages. No checkout, so pair it with a store link if you sell.
Pros
- 500 short links, a custom domain for them, QR codes and a bio page in one free account
- Bio page clicks share the same bot-filtered analytics as your links
- Pro is $9/mo for five pages with branding removed, plus unlimited links and routing
- No ads or interstitials anywhere
Cons
- Free page is capped at ten links and shows ReSlug branding
- No built-in checkout, tipping or email capture
- Bio pages live on the ReSlug domain, not your own
- Launched in 2026, short track record

4. Komi
Best for: Creators who work with brands and want a media-kit style page
Free: Unlimited
Paid from $20/mo
Branding removed: Pro
Built-in selling
The free plan beats Linktree free on analytics, data capture and brand deals. Pro at $20 bundles branding removal, custom domain and 0% product fee. More expensive than Beacons for the same outcome.
Pros

- Unlimited team members and profiles
- 0% fee on digital products on Pro
Cons

5. Carrd
Best for: Anyone comfortable with a page builder who wants a custom domain for under $2 a month
Free: Unlimited
Paid from $0.75/mo
Branding removed: Pro
Not a bio tool, but $19 a year buys your own domain, no branding, forms and analytics. The cost is designing the page yourself.
Pros
- Pro Standard is $19 a year for custom domains, forms, embeds and cookie-free analytics
- Full design control; your page can look like a real website
- Three free sites, no element limit on Pro
Cons
- No analytics on free, and Carrd branding on free

6. Stan Store
Best for: Creators whose bio link is a business and who sell every week
Free: none
Paid from $29/mo
Branding removed: included
Built-in selling
Replaces Linktree only if the page is a shop. $29 a month, no fees, full storefront. Not an alternative for a content creator who sells nothing.
Pros
- No transaction fee on any plan
- Courses, digital downloads, 1:1 bookings, memberships and email in one checkout
- Clean mobile storefront that converts well
Cons
- No free plan; $29 a month minimum

Questions & answers
What is the best free Linktree alternative?
Beacons: unlimited links, real-time analytics and selling on free. Milkshake if you want the cheapest paid branding removal afterwards.
Which Linktree alternative has a custom domain?
Beacons Creator ($10/mo, domain included), Carrd Pro Standard ($19/yr), Milkshake Pro+ ($10/mo), Komi Pro ($20/mo).
Is there a Linktree alternative with no transaction fees?
Stan Store (0% on all plans, $29/mo), Beacons Creator Plus, Komi Pro, and Carrd with an embedded checkout.
Can I keep my QR codes when I leave Linktree?
Only if they encode a link you control. Codes that encode linktr.ee addresses stop working when you leave. Put a short link on your own domain in front of the bio page before printing.
