Linktree started the "link in bio" thing. That's fair — their free plan covers the basics, and so does ours. The gap shows up when you want more: more layouts, password protection, per-link social tracking, and a price that doesn't jump the moment you need a custom background. Linktree's paid plans start at $5/mo. LinkLyHub's start at $1.99/mo.

What Linktree still doesn't have
These aren't features we're holding hostage. They're things we think a link page should just do.
0% selling fees on every tier
Linktree takes 12% of digital product sales on Free and 9% on Starter and Pro. Only Premium, at $24/mo, drops to 0%. LinkLyHub never takes a cut — on any plan, including the free one.
Password-protected pages
Lock your whole page behind a password. Linktree has no equivalent on any plan.
Social click tracking per link
See which social platforms your visitors actually click, link by link — not just a total view count.
10 templates. 4 of them free.
Linktree has a large theme gallery. We have 10 layouts, and each one is a genuinely different structure — not a colour swap of the last one.
Classic
FreeCentered links on a clean background. Most people pick this and never change it.
Digital Card
ProAvatar, bio and links stacked in one card. Built for mobile, where most of your visitors are.
Neon
ProGlowing edges on dark backgrounds. Suits music, nightlife and gaming.
Glass
ProFrosted glass over your background image. Quiet, and it doesn't fight your content.
Brutalist
ProRaw type, high contrast, no rounded corners. For pages that shouldn't look like everyone else's.
Editorial
ProMagazine-style column layout with real whitespace. Good for brands and writers.
Minimal
FreePlain text links, no boxes. The template that gets out of the way.
Gradient
FreeFrosted cards over a deep gradient. Low-key and dark, letting your colours talk.
Retro
FreeTerminal-style links with a glow. For streamers and anyone nostalgic for the early web.
Creator
ProImage grid with big thumbnails. Built for YouTube, TikTok and content links.
saved a year moving your top tier from Linktree Premium to LinkLyHub Advanced
The math
Removing Linktree branding is Premium at $24/mo. Here it's Advanced at $7.99/mo — that's $192.12 a year back in your pocket, on the plan you were going to pay for anyway.
The cheaper tiers add up faster. Custom backgrounds and video: $3.99/mo here vs $9/mo on Linktree Pro — $60.12 a year saved. And nothing on LinkLyHub ever takes a percentage of your sales.
Common questions
Is this just a Linktree clone?
No. Different codebase, different templates, different pricing. We have things Linktree doesn't — password-protected pages and per-link social click tracking — and our paid plans start at $1.99/mo against their $5/mo.
Will my existing Linktree links work?
Yes. URLs are URLs. Copy them across and your audience won't notice anything except a better-looking page.
What does Linktree cost right now?
Free at $0, Starter at $5/mo, Pro at $9/mo and Premium at $24/mo on monthly billing, or $4 / $7.50 / $19.50 per month billed annually. Those are Linktree's own figures from October 2026 — it shows prices in your local currency.
What about the free plan?
5 links, click analytics and QR codes, free forever, no credit card. Linktree's free plan has unlimited links but only 28 days of insight history and it takes 12% of any digital product sale.
