Linktree started the "link in bio" thing. That's fair. But somewhere along the way they decided QR codes, analytics, and scheduled links should cost extra. We disagree. LinkLyHub gives you all of that — plus 11 templates instead of 4 — starting free.
The pricing thing
We're not going to pretend pricing doesn't matter. Here's what each feature actually costs on both platforms.
| Feature | LinkLyHub | Linktree |
|---|---|---|
| Custom backgrounds | $1.99/mo | $9/mo |
| Remove branding | $7.99/mo | $24/mo |
| Video backgrounds | $3.99/mo | $24/mo |
| Scheduled links | $7.99/mo | $24/mo |
| Analytics | Free | $5/mo |
| QR codes | Free | Paid add-on |
Starter plan: $1.99/mo vs $5/mo. Annual billing saves more on both.
Templates
Linktree has about 4 themes. We have 11 — and each one is a genuinely different layout, not just a color palette swap.
Classic
FreeCentered links on a clean background. The default, and honestly — most people pick this and never change it.
Digital Card
ProYour avatar, bio, and links stacked in a card. Looks good on mobile, which is where 90% of your visitors are.
Neon
ProGlowing edges on dark backgrounds. Works well for music, nightlife, gaming.
Glass
ProFrosted glass effect over your background image. Subtle, doesn't compete with your content.
Brutalist
ProRaw typography, high contrast, no rounded corners. For people who don't want their link page to look like everyone else's.
Editorial
ProMagazine-style layout. Structured, clean, with more whitespace. Good for brands and creators.
Minimal
FreePlain text links, no boxes — centered and buttoned-down. The template that gets out of the way of your content.
Gradient
FreeFrosted cards on a deep gradient backdrop. Low-key and dark, letting your colors do the talking.
Retro
FreeTerminal-style links with a glow. Built for streamers, gamers, and anyone nostalgic for the early internet.
Creator
ProImage-grid layout with big thumbnails. Perfect for YouTube, TikTok, and content links.
Premium Vault
ProGlossy premium cards with a gold accent. An elegant, vault-inspired look for brands.
The things Linktree doesn't have
These aren't "pro features" we're holding hostage. They're just... things we think should exist.
QR codes for everything
Profile page, individual links, social profiles. All free.
Password-protected profiles
Lock your page with a password. Linktree doesn't offer this.
Social click tracking
See which social platforms get the most clicks, per link.
Also worth knowing
Common questions
Is this just a Linktree clone?
No. Different codebase, different templates, different pricing. We have features Linktree doesn't have (QR codes, password protection, social click tracking) and our paid plans start at $1.99 vs their $5.
Will my existing Linktree links work?
Yes. URLs are URLs. Copy them over, your audience won't notice anything except a better-looking page.
What about the free plan?
3 links on the free plan. Linktree gives you 1. If you need more, our Starter plan is $1.99/mo.
