Is Linktree free?
Short answer: yes, Linktree has a genuine free plan with unlimited basic links, but it keeps Linktree's own branding on your page, and removing that branding or unlocking more advanced features requires a paid plan starting around $8 a month.
What the free plan actually includes
Linktree's free tier allows an unlimited number of basic links, a choice of themes, and some analytics on link clicks. For a simple bio page listing socials, a shop link and a booking form, the free plan is functional without any payment required. This has been Linktree's approach since it introduced tiered pricing, and it remains the case as of September 2026, per Linktree's own published pricing page.
What free does not include
The free plan keeps Linktree branding visible on your public page. It also does not include the more advanced features Linktree has added over time, such as certain integrations, scheduling tools or deeper analytics, which sit behind the Starter plan and above. If a clean, unbranded look matters for how your page reads to visitors, that is the main reason people upgrade.
How Linktree's free tier compares to other tools
Not every link-in-bio tool has a lasting free plan. Stan Store and bio.link, for example, only offer a time-limited trial rather than a genuine $0 tier. Taplink's free Basic plan, like Linktree's, stays available indefinitely, and Fullink's Free plan covers five links at $0 with no branding-removal upsell required to use the basic page at all, though PRO at $9 a month does remove Fullink's own branding.
Deciding if free is enough for you
If branding and advanced features do not matter yet, Linktree's free plan is a reasonable place to start. If a branded page feels wrong for your use case from day one, whether that is a small business, a professional portfolio or a paid creator brand, it is worth comparing what removing branding costs across a few tools rather than assuming Linktree's paid tier is the only option.
What upgrading actually changes
Moving from Linktree's free plan to a paid tier does not change your existing links or their order, it adds capability on top of what you already built. That makes it low risk to start free and upgrade later if a specific feature becomes something you actually need, rather than guessing up front which tier is right and paying before you know for sure.
This same logic applies across most link-in-bio tools with a genuine free plan, not just Linktree: starting free and upgrading only once a specific limitation becomes a real problem avoids paying for headroom you may never use.
How Linktree's free plan compares beyond price alone
Free is only one part of the comparison. Linktree's free tier allows an unlimited number of basic links, which is more generous than Fullink's five-link free plan, but keeps its own branding visible regardless of how many links you add. Fullink's Free plan removes that tradeoff differently: fewer links, but a page that looks the same whether you are on Free or PRO except for a small badge, with click analytics included at $0 either way.
Neither approach is objectively better; a page needing more than five links but not minding branding fits Linktree's free tier well, while a page wanting to stay small and simple fits Fullink's structure just as well without paying anything either.
Questions people ask
- Does Linktree's free plan expire or require a credit card?
- No, Linktree's free plan does not require payment details and does not expire on its own; it stays free unless you choose to upgrade.
- Can I remove Linktree branding without paying?
- No, removing Linktree's own branding requires a paid plan; it is not available on the free tier.
- If I upgrade and then downgrade, do I lose my links?
- No, your links and page setup remain; downgrading only removes the paid-tier features, such as branding removal, rather than deleting content you already added.
- Does a free plan's branding actually hurt conversion?
- This varies by audience and context; for a purely personal page it rarely matters, while for a professional or paid-brand page, a clean unbranded look can matter more to how visitors perceive credibility.
- Is Linktree's free plan the same everywhere in the world?
- Linktree's free tier is generally consistent globally, though feature availability can occasionally vary by region; check the app or the provider's own pricing page for anything specific to your country.
- Does the free plan support click analytics too?
- Yes, Linktree's free plan includes some level of click tracking on your links; more detailed analytics tend to be reserved for paid tiers, which is worth checking directly on the provider's own pricing page if that data matters to you.
- Will Linktree's free plan disappear if pricing changes in the future?
- There is no announced plan to remove it, but pricing pages do change over time; checking the provider's current, dated pricing page directly is always more reliable than relying on an older summary.
