Comparison · Updated September 9, 2026
Free Linktree alternatives worth trying
Short answer: Fullink, Lnk.Bio, Beacons and Carrd each publish a genuine free tier, though the limits are different for every one. bio.link is worth naming here too, mainly because it does not clearly advertise a permanent free plan on its own homepage, and you should know that before you build on it.
Five free plans at a glance
These figures come from each provider's own pricing page as of September 9, 2026. Free plans change without much notice, so check the source before you commit an afternoon to setup.
| Tool | Free plan | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Fullink | $0/month, 5 links | A small bio page with click analytics included on the free plan. |
| Lnk.Bio | $0/month, unlimited links | 577 templates and 147 embeds on the free tier, no credit card required. |
| bio.link | No clearly advertised free tier | The homepage promotes one paid Pro plan around $7.49/month with a 7-day free trial. |
| Beacons | $0/month, free forever tier | A link-in-bio page, a media kit, one course and 5 email automations, with a 9% seller fee on sales. |
| Carrd | $0/month, 3 sites | Core one-page builder features on the free tier, with no custom domain. |
Fullink: five links, no cost, no branding removed
Fullink Free is $0 a month and includes up to five links, profile themes, click analytics and a downloadable QR code. The public page carries Fullink branding until you upgrade. Five links is a real constraint, not a teaser limit, so it forces you to decide what actually belongs at the top of your page. If you later need unlimited links, Stripe-hosted payment links or a page without branding, PRO is $9 a month. See the full Fullink pricing page for the complete list.
Lnk.Bio: unlimited links with no credit card
Lnk.Bio's free tier allows unlimited links, which is the opposite trade-off from Fullink's five-link limit. It also lists 577 templates and 147 embeds on the free plan, and signing up does not require a credit card. If you want one page that can hold a long, unfiltered list of destinations without paying anything, this is worth a look.

bio.link: check before you assume there is a free plan
bio.link's own homepage promotes a single paid Pro plan priced around $7.49 a month, with a 7-day free trial. It does not clearly advertise a permanent free tier the way Fullink, Lnk.Bio, Beacons and Carrd do. That does not mean no free option exists anywhere on the site, only that it is not the headline offer, so confirm current terms directly on bio.link before you build a page there and assume it will stay free. See the Fullink versus bio.link comparison for a fuller breakdown.
Beacons: a wider free plan with a seller fee attached
Beacons calls its free tier "free forever," and it includes a link-in-bio page, a media kit, one course and 5 email automations. The trade-off is a 9% fee on anything you sell while you stay on that plan. If you are only publishing links and not selling anything yet, the fee does not matter. Once you start selling, it is worth doing the math against a paid tier. Read the Fullink versus Beacons comparison for the full fee structure.
Carrd: three free sites, no custom domain
Carrd is not built specifically as a bio link tool. It is a one-page site builder, and its free tier gives you up to three sites with the core builder features, though without a custom domain. That makes it a reasonable free option if you want more layout control than a fixed link list, and you do not mind publishing on Carrd's own subdomain. See the Fullink versus Carrd comparison for where the paid tiers add a domain and other features.
How to pick one
- Want a short, curated list of links: try Fullink's five-link free plan

- Selling something already and comparing fee structures: read the Beacons and Fullink PRO figures side by side
- Want to design a page from scratch, not fill in a template: try Carrd
