Later's Linkin.bio or Linktree: bundle or standalone page?
The short answer: Later's Linkin.bio only comes bundled inside a paid social scheduling plan starting at $18.75 a month billed yearly. Linktree is sold entirely on its own, with a real $0 tier. If you do not need a scheduler, Linktree is the cheaper, simpler starting point.

When Later is the better fit
- You already use Later, or want, a social media scheduler
- Managing posting and your bio link in one dashboard matters to you
- The $18.75 a month price is justified by using the scheduler regularly
- You would rather pay for one combined tool than two separate ones
When Linktree is the better fit
- You only want a bio-link page, not a scheduling suite
- You want a genuine $0 tier to start on
- You want the most widely recognized link-in-bio brand
- You already have a separate tool for scheduling posts
Where Fullink fits, as a third option
Fullink, like Linktree, is sold purely as a bio page. Free covers five links at $0, and PRO at $9 a month adds Stripe-hosted payment links, both cheaper than Later's Starter plan if scheduling was never something you needed. If you already rely on Later for posting, keeping Linkin.bio in the same suite may still be simpler than running a separate tool, even though the combined cost is higher.
Free covers 5 links at $0. PRO is $9 a month and adds Stripe-hosted payment links, supporter tiers and no Fullink branding.
Questions people ask
- Can you buy Later's Linkin.bio without a scheduler?
- No. Linkin.bio is only available inside a paid Later plan, starting at $18.75 a month billed yearly, which also includes social scheduling and analytics.
- Is Linktree free?
- Yes, Linktree offers a $0 free plan with unlimited basic links and Linktree branding shown until you upgrade.
- Does Later offer a way to just try Linkin.bio before committing to a full plan?
- Check Later's current pricing page for any active trial offer; there is no standalone free tier for Linkin.bio specifically.
- If I already schedule posts with another tool, does Later's Linkin.bio still make sense?
- Probably not; paying for Later's scheduler just to access Linkin.bio when you already have a scheduling tool elsewhere means paying twice for the same job.
- Does Later offer a lower tier than Starter that still includes Linkin.bio?
- Check Later's current pricing page for its full tier list; Starter is the entry point referenced here as of the pricing checked for this comparison.
- Does Linkin.bio support the same click analytics depth as a dedicated bio-link tool?
- It includes analytics as part of the broader Later suite; the depth and framing differ from a tool built specifically around a single bio-link page.
