Lnk.Bio has been running since 2016 and says more than 2 million creators use it. Most people notice the pricing first. The free plan has unlimited links, Mini costs $0.99 a month, and Unique is a one-time payment of $24.99 with no renewal. On price alone, few link in bio tools come close.
That changes why people look for an alternative. Hardly anyone leaves Lnk.Bio to save money. They leave because the bio page has become one of several places where they publish links. The other links sit in email, ads, video descriptions and print, each with its own numbers in a different tool.
This guide covers what each Lnk.Bio plan includes according to its feature comparison, what the lifetime price covers and what it leaves out, when Lnk.Bio is still the better pick, and what to check before moving. Prices were checked in October 2026.
What each Lnk.Bio plan includes
Free covers unlimited links, music and video embeds, a map block, three swipeable pages and a QR code you can download with your logo. Statistics are basic: page views and clicks on each link. The Lnk.Bio logo stays on the profile.
Mini costs $0.99 a month, or $9.99 once. It adds link scheduling, link groups, password-protected links, tracking pixels (Meta, TikTok, Google Analytics and others), Instagram and TikTok sync, UTM presets and five pages. Analytics step up too. You get country, language, traffic source and device, two years of history and an Excel export. The logo still shows.
Unique costs $24.99 once. It removes the Lnk.Bio logo and adds what a small business needs on the page: a built-in shop for digital and physical products, a newsletter form that syncs with 50 email tools, a contact form, custom colors and fonts, a video wallpaper, post schedulers for Instagram and TikTok, and ten pages.
| Plan | Price | Lnk.Bio logo | Analytics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Shown | Page views, clicks per link |
| Mini | $0.99/mo or $9.99 once | Shown | Adds country, language, source, device; 2 years of history |
| Unique | $24.99 once | Removed | Same as Mini |
The homepage also lists Ultra at $89.99 a year, which adds a verification badge, a booking calendar and AI translations. Those are sold as monthly add-ons as well: the badge for $2, the booking calendar for $4 and translations for $3.
What the lifetime price covers
"Pay once, use forever" is accurate, with one condition. Prices are per account, and one account is one profile. A creator with a personal profile and a brand profile pays twice.
Agencies, and anyone who runs several profiles, move to multi-account pricing, which is a subscription. On Lnk.Bio's agency page, Unique for 10 accounts costs $25 a month and for 25 accounts $50 a month, with a discount for annual billing. So the lifetime deal only applies to a single profile.
Add-ons follow the same rule. A booking calendar on top of a lifetime Unique plan costs $4 a month for as long as you keep it.
Lnk.Bio does not hide any of this. It means the $24.99 figure describes one person with one page. Once the page is part of a bigger setup, the math is different.
When Lnk.Bio is the better choice
If the bio page is the whole job, Lnk.Bio is hard to argue against. The free plan already counts clicks on each link. Mini keeps two years of history for $9.99 once, and few tools store data that long at that price. The embed list is long: 147 services, Spotify, Bandcamp, Calendly and Typeform among them. The Instagram grid mirror is handy for shops that post their products as photos.
Unique also works as a small storefront for a creator who sells a few products and collects emails. Checkout, coupons, a newsletter and a contact form sit on one page for a one-time price.
For a single profile where the page is the whole job, that is a fair deal. The picture changes once your links start working outside the page: in a newsletter, on a printed menu, or in a campaign for an app you want people to install. That is the case the rest of this guide covers.
Where Linxly is a different tool
Lnk.Bio is built around the page. Every row in its plan table either changes how the page looks or adds something that happens on it. Linxly starts from the link, and the page is one of the places a link can go.
The bio link page covers what you would expect: link buttons, product cards with prices, video, maps, text blocks, social icons and theming. A page is ready to share in a few minutes, and you can change it as often as you like without touching the link in your profile.
The difference is what sits next to the page. Any URL you add gets a short address with a slug you choose, like linx.ly/autumn-sale, and you can change where it points after it is published. That covers a newsletter, a YouTube description, a paid ad, or a flyer that has already been printed. The URL shortener and the bio page share one account and one dashboard.
Every link also gets a QR code automatically, and scans are counted separately from clicks. If one campaign runs on a poster and in a story in the same week, you can see which of the two brought people in. A printed code is not stuck either: when the offer changes, you change the destination, and the poster on the wall keeps working.
Lnk.Bio's plan table has no row for device routing. Linxly deep links send iPhone users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play from a single link, with no SDK.
Starter reports clicks by country and device type. From Pro ($7.99 a month), reports add city, device brand, operating system, browser and referrer, with two years of history on Pro and five on Business.
In practice, that is one login instead of a bio tool, a shortener and a QR generator, and one report instead of three sets of numbers that never quite match.
Price, side by side
Both tools start at $0.99 a month, and they sell different things at that price.
Lnk.Bio Mini at $0.99 is a full bio page with scheduling, pixels and two years of analytics. Linxly Starter at $0.99 is a deliberately small plan: 2 bio pages, 5 new short links a month, 2 deep links, and analytics by country and device with 30 days of history. If all you need is a bio page, Lnk.Bio costs less, and the $9.99 lifetime Mini widens the gap every year.
Linxly's plan for running campaigns is Pro at $7.99 a month. It includes 20 bio pages, 250 new short links a month, 20 deep links, the UTM builder, password protection, link expiration, time-based redirects and QR codes with your logo and colors. Business at $39.99 raises the limit to 5,000 links a month.
Every plan opens with a 7-day trial that unlocks the full feature set, so you can see the Pro reports on your own links before you pay anything. After that, billing is monthly, and you can cancel at any time.
Put simply, Lnk.Bio charges for a richer page, and Linxly charges for the work links do away from the page. Which one fits depends on where your clicks come from.
Before you move
Test on one campaign first. You do not have to switch everything at once. Leave Lnk.Bio as it is, start the trial, and route one campaign through Linxly: a short link in your next newsletter and a QR code on one printed item. After a week, the report shows whether the extra data is worth paying for.
Nothing imports. There is no migration between the two tools, so you rebuild the page block by block. A typical bio page takes less than an hour.
Keep the old address alive. If your lnk.bio URL is printed on packaging or sits in old posts, keep the profile on the free plan and make its first link point to the new page.
Write down your tracking. Pixels and UTM presets set up in Lnk.Bio stay there. List what you track today, so the reports have no gap after the switch.
Decide where the shop and newsletter go. If orders or signups run through Unique, pick their new home before you rebuild. The new bio page then links to the checkout and the signup form.
A lifetime Mini or Unique plan has no renewal to cancel. The profile can stay online at no extra cost, which makes it a good bridge to the new page while the old URL is still in circulation.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lnk.Bio free?
Yes. The free plan includes unlimited links, embeds, a QR code, three pages and basic statistics, including clicks on each link. The Lnk.Bio logo stays on the profile until you move to Unique.
How much does Lnk.Bio cost?
Mini is $0.99 a month or $9.99 once. Unique is $24.99 once, and Ultra is $89.99 a year. Add-ons cost $2 to $4 a month each. Plans for several profiles are billed monthly or annually.
Is the Lnk.Bio lifetime plan really lifetime?
For one account, yes. Mini and Unique are sold as one-time payments with no renewal. Add-ons and multi-account plans are subscriptions.
Does Lnk.Bio shorten links?
No. Its plan table has no URL shortener for links you share outside the profile, and no device routing to the app stores. The other domains Lnk.Bio offers, such as ln.ki and clk.bio, are alternative addresses for the same bio profile.
What is the best Lnk.Bio alternative?
It depends on what you use Lnk.Bio for. If the page is everything, it is already one of the cheapest options and there is little reason to switch. If many of your clicks start outside your profile, a tool that handles short links, QR codes and deep links next to the bio page covers more of the work. That is where Linxly fits, from $0.99 a month.
Can I move my Lnk.Bio page to Linxly?
You rebuild it. Blocks do not transfer between the two tools. Recreate the page, keep the Lnk.Bio profile live with a link to the new address, and update the link in your profile once.
The short version
Lnk.Bio is a well-built bio page at a price that is hard to beat, especially with the lifetime plans. Its limits show up when you run more than one profile, or when most of your links live outside the page.
If most of your clicks start somewhere other than your profile, and you want them in one dashboard, Linxly is built for that. The 7-day trial is enough to run one campaign through it and compare the numbers yourself.
