Linktree Charges You for a Webpage
Linktree charges $5 to $24 a month for what is, at its core, a simple webpage with a list of links. That's $60 to $288 a year for something you could build yourself in 10 minutes. And the free tier puts their branding on it, tracks your visitors for their own analytics, and limits your customization options.
I built the Link in Bio Builder because paying a monthly fee for a link page never made sense to me. It's a drag-and-drop builder with 10 templates, full color customization, social icons, and HTML export. You own the output. No branding, no monthly cost, no tracking code.
Why Your Link in Bio Matters
Every social platform limits you to one clickable link in your profile. Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube: they all funnel your audience through that single URL. If that link goes to a page that looks generic, loads slowly, or doesn't match your brand, you're losing clicks.
A good link-in-bio page does three things:
- •Looks like you. Same colors, same fonts, same vibe as your content. When someone clicks from your Instagram, the landing page should feel like a natural extension of your profile.
- •Prioritizes the right links. Your most important call-to-action goes at the top. Your latest content is visible immediately. Less important links are lower.
- •Loads instantly. A static HTML page loads in under a second. A Linktree page has to fetch JavaScript, load analytics, and render their UI framework. Every extra second costs you visitors.
What the Builder Does
The Link in Bio Builder is a full visual editor. You build your page by adding elements, styling them, and previewing in real time.
- •Profile section with name, bio, and avatar (circular, rounded square, or square shapes)
- •Links with custom text, URLs, and optional icons (40+ icon options)
- •Social icons for every major platform (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, GitHub, and more)
- •Headers for section dividers and text blocks for descriptions
- •10 templates: Minimal, Night, Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Rose, Slate, Neon, Classic, Monochrome
- •Custom colors, fonts, button styles (filled, outlined, ghost) and button shapes (rounded, pill, square)
- •Export as self-contained HTML with optional Google Analytics and custom scripts

Try the Link in Bio BuilderWhere to Host Your Page
Once you've exported the HTML file, you need somewhere to put it. A few options:
- •Your own domain. Upload the file to your web hosting at something like `yoursite.com/links`. Most professional approach.
- •GitHub Pages. Free hosting for static files. Create a repository, upload the HTML, enable GitHub Pages.
- •Netlify Drop. Drag your HTML file onto Netlify's dashboard and get a live URL in 5 seconds. Free tier is more than enough.
- •Vercel. Similar to Netlify. Free for personal projects. Upload and deploy.
Tips for a Better Link Page
The best link pages are focused and up to date. Here's what works:
- •Put your strongest CTA at the top. The link with the highest conversion potential goes first.
- •Keep it to 5 to 8 links. More than that and you're giving people decision fatigue.
- •Update it regularly. A link page with your "latest blog post" from 6 months ago looks neglected.
- •Match your social aesthetic. Consistency builds trust across platforms.
- •Add a profile photo. Pages with a face get more engagement.
- •Test on mobile. Most of your link-in-bio traffic comes from mobile users.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Export the HTML file and upload it to any web host, then point your custom domain at it. The file is completely self-contained with no external dependencies. Your own domain looks more professional than a linktree.com/username URL, and you keep full control over the page. Use the OG Image Generator to make sure the page preview looks clean when shared on social.
The builder has an optional Google Analytics field. Enter your GA tracking ID and it gets included in the exported HTML automatically. You can also add custom scripts for other analytics tools like Plausible or Fathom. That way you see exactly which links your audience clicks most.
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your page data, styling, and links exist only in your current session. Nothing is sent to a server. Make sure to export your HTML before closing the tab, otherwise your work is gone.
The Link in Bio Builder produces the same end result: a page with your links and your branding. The difference is no monthly fee, no Linktree branding on your page, and you own the output file. You lose Linktree's built-in analytics dashboard, but Google Analytics covers that and gives you more data anyway.
