Linktree Pricing Explained: Free vs Pro vs Premium (2026)

Linktree's Four Tiers at a Glance

Pricing nudges every year and varies slightly by region; the figures below reflect typical 2026 US pricing on annual billing. Always cross-check the live Linktree pricing page before committing.

Tier	Approx price	Best for
Free	$0	Casual creators with a basic list of links
Starter	~$5/mo	Creators who want to remove branding and schedule links
Pro	~$10/mo	Creators who need analytics, custom domain, and selling
Premium	~$24/mo	Brands and teams with multi-admin needs

Free Plan: What's Included

The free plan is real and permanent. It includes:

• Unlimited link buttons
• A free linktr.ee/yourname URL
• Basic themes and a small palette of fonts and button styles
• Lifetime click and view counts per link
• Mobile and desktop dashboard editing
• QR code, share button and embed code
• "Powered by Linktree" badge visible on the public page

For creators whose only job is "list my links from one bio URL", the free plan is enough forever.

Starter Plan: ~$5/Month

Starter is the cheapest paid tier and the simplest reason to upgrade is a single feature: removing the Linktree branding. The "Powered by Linktree" footer disappears. You also gain:

• Wider theme selection and more colour controls
• Link scheduling — buttons appear or disappear automatically on dates you set
• Link prioritisation — pin a button to the top temporarily
• Standard analytics (click counts per link, source breakdown)

If brand polish matters and you don't need analytics depth or selling, Starter is the right tier.

Pro Plan: ~$10/Month

Pro is Linktree's most popular tier and the one most creators describe as "the real product". You get everything in Starter plus:

• Detailed analytics — clicks per link, unique vs returning visitors, geographic data, audience characteristics
• Custom domain — point links.yourbrand.com at your Linktree page
• Sell digital products — files, downloads, services (with transaction fees applied)
• Email and SMS capture — collect contact info from visitors directly
• Tip jars and request-payment buttons
• Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Zapier integrations

If your bio link drives meaningful business — paid promotions, sales, lead capture — Pro pays for itself quickly.

Premium Plan: ~$24/Month

Premium is targeted at brands and teams. Most individual creators don't need it. You get everything in Pro plus:

• Multiple admins / team seats
• Concierge onboarding and priority support
• Advanced reporting — exportable analytics, CSV downloads, deeper attribution
• Lower transaction fees on commerce features
• Verified badge on the public page

If you're a small business with multiple staff updating the page, an agency managing client pages, or a brand running serious campaigns, Premium is reasonable. If you're a solo creator, it's almost always overkill.

Hidden Costs to Watch

• Annual vs monthly. The headline price is annual-billing-divided-by-12. Monthly billing is typically 25% more.
• Transaction fees. Selling, tipping and request-payment all carry a Linktree percentage on top of the standard payment-processor fee. Lower tiers carry higher Linktree fees; Premium reduces them.
• Region differences. Some regions see higher prices, particularly in markets where Linktree adds local VAT or sales tax on top.

Is Linktree Worth Paying For?

Three honest tests:

1. Do you need to remove branding? If yes — that alone justifies Starter ($5/mo). It's the cheapest reason most creators upgrade.
2. Do you need analytics that drive decisions? If your link page meaningfully drives revenue (affiliate, sponsorship, sales), Pro's analytics are a small line item against the income they help optimise.
3. Are you selling something? If yes, do the math: Linktree fees + payment-processor fees + your time vs alternative tool fees + same payment-processor fees + your time. Often the alternative wins.

Cheaper Alternatives That Match Linktree Pro

Several tools include Pro-tier-equivalent features on their free or low-cost plans:

• UniLink — branding removal, full analytics, custom domain and selling on the free plan.
• Bento.me — branding removal and analytics free; selling on paid tier.
• Carrd — Pro tier is $19/year (one-time annual cost) with custom domain. No analytics.
• Lnk.bio — one-time payment (~$24) unlocks lifetime Pro features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Linktree free forever?

Yes. The free plan is permanent and not a trial. Linktree has stated publicly that the free tier will continue.

How much is Linktree per month?

Roughly $5/mo for Starter, $10/mo for Pro, $24/mo for Premium when billed annually in 2026 US pricing. Monthly billing is meaningfully more expensive.

Can I downgrade my Linktree plan?

Yes. Cancel from inside the dashboard and your account drops to the previous tier (or to free) at the end of the current billing period. Your URL, links and basic analytics are preserved.

Does Linktree offer a free trial of paid plans?

The base free plan is permanent, so there's no traditional free trial. You can sign up for Pro and cancel within the refund window if needed — check Linktree's current refund policy.

Are there discounts or student plans?

Linktree occasionally runs promotions — Black Friday, back-to-school, regional launches — but doesn't publish a permanent student or non-profit discount. Annual billing is the most reliable saving (15–25% off monthly).

Does Linktree charge a transaction fee on free plans?

Free plans don't include selling, so the question is moot. On paid plans, yes — Linktree takes a percentage on top of the payment-processor fee. The Premium tier reduces the percentage.
