Linktree's details come from its own pricing page on October 30, 2026. Its prices vary by region; these are the US ones.
Why choose a project-focused page?
- Your work, not your socials. A visitor sees what you shipped, what you are mid-way through and what is on ice.
- Nothing to pay. Every feature is free, with no card and no trial countdown.
- Stealth without silence. Keep a project listed while masking its name, link or details until launch day.
- People can find you. Pages appear in the founder directory, so your projects get seen beyond your own bio link.
When is Linktree the better choice?
Pick Linktree if you sell products, collect email addresses or want to see who clicks what. It also fits better if your audience mostly comes from Instagram or TikTok and is looking for your content rather than your products.
