Why look for a free Linktree alternative?

Linktree's free plan is deliberately throttled: no analytics, no real customization, "Linktree" branding stamped on every page. If you're building a serious brand on Instagram, TikTok or X, you want better.

Good news: at least 7 fully free alternatives do the job — often better.

The top 7

1. LinkForge — the most complete

Free forever: 5 links, 3 social links, real-time analytics.
Highlights: Next.js 15 performance, geo analytics on the Free plan, multilingual (6 languages), open API on Pro.
Limit: 5 links on Free (upgrade to Pro at €7/month for 50).

2. Bio.fm

Free: unlimited but heavy branding + ads on the Free plan.
Highlights: many themes, native Spotify/YouTube embeds.
Limit: closed source, no data export.

3. Linkin.bio (Later)

Free limited: only if you already use Later to schedule Instagram.
Highlights: auto-sync with your Instagram posts.
Limit: locked into the Later ecosystem.

4. Beacons.ai

Free: basic page with Beacons branding.
Highlights: built-in tip jar and e-commerce modules.
Limit: $10/month to unlock custom domain (vs €7 on LinkForge).

5. Carrd

Free: max 3 sites, basic features.
Highlights: extremely customizable visually, ideal for designers.
Limit: not "link in bio" focused (it's a page builder), no analytics.

6. Koji

Free: unlimited with mini-apps (quizzes, store, tips).
Highlights: most creative for gamifying your audience.
Limit: dated design, mediocre performance.

7. Solo.to

Free: unlimited with visible branding.
Highlights: super simple, perfect to start in 2 minutes.
Limit: no real analytics, few design options.

How to choose?

Ask yourself 3 questions:

Do you want useful analytics? → LinkForge or Beacons.
Do you want deep visual customization? → LinkForge Pro or Carrd.
Do you want to monetize directly (tips, digital products)? → Beacons or Koji.

For 90% of creators, LinkForge is the best free vs features vs performance trade-off. You can migrate your current page in 2 minutes.

Free plan red flags to avoid

Hidden branding that sabotages your professionalism: some tools slap their logo as a giant footer banner. If you want to look pro, check before sharing the link.
No data export: if you switch tools in 6 months, some hold you hostage. LinkForge allows JSON/CSV export even on Free.
Fake analytics: some show "100 views" without breaking down the source. At minimum demand: geolocation, device, traffic source.

FAQ

Does the LinkForge free plan expire?

No. LinkForge Free is free forever. You can stay on it indefinitely.

Can I upgrade to Pro later without losing my page?

Yes. Upgrading doesn't touch your links or design — it just unlocks Pro features.

How do I migrate from Linktree?

Use the 1-click import in your LinkForge dashboard: paste your Linktree URL and we import your links automatically.

Conclusion

In 2026, paying for Linktree Pro to get the basics doesn't make sense. LinkForge ships more for free and unlocks agency-level features for €7/month.
