Is Linktree free in 2026? Linktree pricing and cheaper alternatives explained

What Linktree's free plan and 7-day trials really give you

Yes, Linktree is free on its entry tier. With the Linktree Free plan, you get unlimited basic links and you can collect email and phone details right on your page. What you don't get for free are basic analytics or unlimited featured links, because those start on the Starter plan at $7 per month billed annually or $9 billed monthly.

If you want to try the bigger features before you pay, Linktree gives you a 7-day free trial on both the Pro plan and the Premium plan. You can also cancel any paid Linktree plan whenever you want.

Which Linktree plan most people actually need

If you only need a list of links and basic email or SMS collection, Linktree Free is enough. For basic analytics and a personalized Linktree, you can step up to Starter at $7 per month billed annually ($9 billed monthly). If you want to remove Linktree branding, Pro at $14 per month billed annually ($17 billed monthly) is the tier that removes the branding, gives you custom designs and mailing list integrations, and lets you sell and earn with 0% fees.

Heavier marketers can look at Premium at $30 per month billed annually ($35 billed monthly) for link rules and routing, AI integrations, all-time analytics with data export, social media scheduling, and unlimited Instagram auto-replies. Larger organizations can request custom Agency or Enterprise plans.

Hidden costs and paywalls to watch for

The biggest jumps in Linktree's price come from monthly billing and the way features are split across tiers. Paying month to month instead of annually bumps Starter from $7 to $9 per month, Pro from $14 to $17 per month, and Premium from $30 to $35 per month.

You also can't take the Linktree logo off on Starter. You have to pay for Pro at $14 per month billed annually to remove Linktree branding, and you need Premium at $30 per month billed annually if you want to view all-time analytics or download your analytics data. And while Linktree Pro advertises selling and earning with 0% fees, Linktree notes that transaction and processing fees can still apply.

Cheaper or free alternatives depending on what you need

If your main goal is removing platform branding without spending $14 per month when billed annually on Linktree Pro, several builders cost much less. Our Heya Pro Lite ($3 a month) and Carrd Pro Lite ($9 / year) both remove branding, and Milkshake Lite removes it for US$2.99 per month, billed monthly. For a custom domain, Carrd Pro Standard covers up to 10 sites at $19 / year, and Heya Pro Standard ($6 a month) includes 1 custom domain per account and up to 5 sites with up to 20 pages per site and no badge.

To sell digital products without paying for a plan first, both Beacons Free ($0 per month, with a 9% commission on sales) and Milkshake Free (selling digital files with Stripe) let you sell on their free plans. Linktree, Beacons, and Milkshake all offer analytics and digital product sales, while Beacons, Milkshake Pro, and Carrd Pro Standard also include contact forms (with Carrd supporting third-party payment widgets from Stripe, PayPal, and Gumroad).
