Why Migrate from Linktree
- Linktree branding visible on free plan.
- Pro tier ($10/mo) is expensive vs alternatives.
- Want richer block types (store, course, embed).
- Want better analytics on free.
- Want custom domain on free.
Step 1: Audit Your Existing Linktree
- Title (button label).
- URL.
- Order on page.
- Any custom thumbnails.
Step 2: Pick a New Platform
| Platform | Best for | Free? |
|---|---|---|
| UniLink | Most creators (60+ blocks, no platform branding) | Yes |
| Beacons | Creator suite (email + scheduler) | Yes |
| Bento.me | Designer-leaning aesthetic | Yes |
| Solo.to | Privacy-focused, free | Yes |
| Bio.link | Cheapest paid ($2/mo Pro) | Yes |
Step 3: Sign Up + Recreate Page
Step 4: Update Bio URL on All Socials
The new bio URL needs to replace your Linktree URL everywhere:
- Instagram bio Links field.
- TikTok bio Website field.
- X (Twitter) Website field.
- Facebook Page Website / Action Button.
- YouTube channel banner / About.
- LinkedIn Contact info.
- Any other platform with your bio link.
Don't skip this. Linktree URL keeps driving traffic until you redirect everywhere.
Step 5: Optional ??” Redirect Old Linktree
To preserve any direct visits to your old Linktree URL:
- Linktree Pro doesn't support redirects natively.
- Workaround: replace your Linktree page content with a "Moved to unil.ink/yourname ?†’ click here" message.
- Or delete Linktree (visitors get error; small percentage of clicks lost).
Step 6: Verify and Monitor
- Test new URL from multiple browsers / devices.
- Check analytics on new platform ??” confirm traffic flows.
- Monitor Linktree (if not deleted) for residual visits.
- After 30 days: most followers will have updated. Safe to delete Linktree.
