Linktree Alternatives for Creators in 2026

A Linktree alternative is a page that holds a creator's links and, on most options, also takes payment. Creators look for one when the link page needs to sell memberships, bookings or posts, not only point elsewhere. Here are the main options and what kind of platform each one is.

On This List

Which Linktree Alternatives Are Worth Considering?

We build Creator Link Studio, so it leads this list of Linktree alternatives, and we say so. Every other entry is written for a creator leaving Linktree, and the points under it come from that platform's own pages, linked beside each one or in its comparison.

1. Creator Link Studio

One public page at your handle that holds your tracked links and takes payment for memberships, pay-per-view posts, bundles, services and live events, so a visitor can buy without leaving it.

  • Tracked links, with a click count on each one.
  • Takes payment on the page for tiers, single posts, bundles, bookings and tickets.
  • Runs on your own domain on the Studio plan.

Best for a creator whose bio link should take payment, not only point elsewhere.

2. Beacons

Beacons is the closest move from Linktree: still a link page, with a store, email marketing and a media kit added. Memberships and courses need one of its higher plans. It lists no post publishing, where Linktree has a social planner.

  • Free plan that includes digital product sales.
  • Built-in email marketing and audience manager.
  • Auto-updating media kit for brand deals.

3. Stan Store

Stan Store suits a Linktree user whose links mostly point at things for sale. Courses, bookings and subscriptions are sold on the page for a flat monthly price and no share of sales. It is a store more than a link list, so a long set of plain links fits less well.

  • No transaction fee on either plan.
  • Courses, bookings and subscriptions included on the base plan.
  • Built-in Instagram auto-DMs.

4. Ko-fi

Ko-fi fits a Linktree user who wants supporters to tip or join a membership from the bio link. Money arrives in your own payment account straight away. It is a support page, not a link hub, so your other links need a home.

  • No service fee on one-time tips with Ko-fi Free.
  • Payments go straight to the creator's own account with no payout schedule or minimum.
  • Supporter and member lists can be downloaded as CSV files.

5. Patreon

Patreon suits a Linktree user ready to turn followers into paying members, with tiers and community chats. It is a membership site, not a link page, so you would still keep a bio link pointing at it. Its member list downloads with emails.

  • Monthly and annual memberships with multiple tiers.
  • Built-in video hosting and community chats.
  • Member list including emails can be exported as a CSV.

6. Carrd

Carrd gives a Linktree user a full one-page site in place of a list of links. It has no checkout of its own, so payment means embedding a provider you already use. That takes one of its paid plans.

  • Takes payment only through payment-enabled forms and embedded third-party widgets, on its paid plans. source
  • Publishes to custom domains you own on its paid plans. source
  • Site analytics come from third-party tools you connect. source

7. Hopp by Wix

Hopp is close to Linktree in shape, a link page, with selling built in: digital products, services, tips and bookings. Its public pages do not show its plan prices, so check what the selling tools cost before you switch.

  • Sells digital products and services, collects tips, and takes bookings on the page. source
  • States a 0% transaction fee on every plan. source
  • Runs on your own URL. source

8. Milkshake

Milkshake suits a Linktree user who builds on a phone and wants swipeable cards instead of a list. It sells digital files from the page. It keeps a cut of every sale on every plan, the largest on the free one.

  • Takes a fee on each sale: 12% on Free and Lite, 9% on Pro and 7% on Pro+, before card processing. source
  • A custom domain is on its Pro+ plan. source
  • Insights data exports on its Pro plan. source

9. Campsite.bio

Campsite.bio stays closest to what Linktree does: a link page with analytics. Followers can tip or pay for a request from the page. It has no product checkout, so anything else you sell still lives elsewhere.

  • Collects tips and takes paid requests from followers on every plan. source
  • Its transaction fee is shown as 0% for a limited time. source
  • Your own domain and in-depth analytics start on its Pro plan. source

10. Later

Later suits a Linktree user who mainly wants scheduling, with the link page as part of the same tool. The page sends followers out to your site or shop and takes no payment itself. It comes with a paid scheduling plan.

  • Its link page sends followers to your website or online shop. source
  • Link in Bio analytics are part of its paid scheduling plans, which start with a 14-day free trial. source

11. Buy Me a Coffee

Buy Me a Coffee fits a Linktree user whose bio link should collect support: tips, a membership and a few shop items. It is a support page, so your other links need a home somewhere else. Its terms rule out nudity and sexual content.

  • Charges a 5% transaction fee on what supporters pay. source
  • Your supporter list is yours and exports at any time. source
  • A payout can be requested once the balance reaches $10. source
  • Its terms prohibit nudity and sexual content. source

12. Gumroad

Gumroad suits a Linktree user whose links mostly lead to things for sale. A product page takes payment directly, with no monthly price. It is a store, not a link hub, and it keeps a cut of each sale.

  • Charges 10% and $0.50 per sale from your own links, 30% when a buyer finds you through its Discover marketplace, and no monthly fee. source
  • Customers and their purchases download as a CSV file. source
  • A payout needs a balance of at least $100. source
  • Does not allow sales of sexually explicit content. source

How Do You Choose Among These Linktree Alternatives?

Start from what the page has to do after the click. A link page sends the visitor somewhere else to buy. A storefront takes payment on the page for products, courses and bookings. A page like Creator Link Studio takes payment for memberships, pay-per-view posts, bundles, services and event tickets, and keeps tracked links beside them.

Then check what each candidate actually sells. Linktree's selling guide lists one-time digital products, courses, affiliate links and sponsored links, and does not list recurring memberships or bookings (source, checked September 25, 2026). A creator whose income is recurring needs a page that bills on a schedule.

Weigh the fee last. Creator Link Studio's platform fee is 10% on Creator, 3% on Studio, and the worked example on this page puts those shares beside Linktree's. Plan prices are a separate monthly line on the pricing page.

What Does Leaving Linktree Actually Involve?

A link page is the easiest thing to move, because the audience follows the link in your bio and not the tool behind it. Export your contacts first: Linktree lets creators download audience contacts as a CSV from the Audience tab on all plans (source).

Product and course sales settle to the bank account connected to your payment account, on the daily, weekly or monthly schedule you chose (source). Let the last sales settle, then change the link in each bio to the new page.

Rebuild the links in the same order, so a returning visitor finds what they expect, then add the first thing the old page could not sell.

What Changes on Creator Link Studio for a Linktree User?

The page sells where it used to point. Memberships bill the fan's card on a schedule, and pay-per-view posts, bundles, services and event tickets are paid from a credit wallet at 10 credits per dollar. Every link on the page is tracked, so you can see which ones are clicked.

Publishing sits in the same studio. A post written once goes to your page and to ten platforms together, with AI captions drafted for each and the paid version behind the lock.

Earnings from every kind of sale meet in a single balance, after the platform fee of 10% on Creator, 3% on Studio. You move that balance to your bank when you choose, from $25 upward. Your contacts and your media can be exported whenever you like.

A Worked Scenario: a Link Page That Starts Selling

Take a Linktree creator selling $1,500 a month of digital products and bookings, in round hypothetical figures.

On Linktree's free plan the 12% fee is $180 and $1,320 remains; Linktree Premium ($35/mo, 0% on sales) takes no share of sales, so the full $1,500 remains, and its monthly price is a separate line. Card processing and the per-payout charge come off both (Linktree help).

On Creator Link Studio the month looks like this: Creator, at 10%, keeps $150 and leaves $1,350; Studio, at 3%, keeps $45 and leaves $1,455. Card processing applies to every option, and the plan prices are their own monthly line.

For product sales alone Linktree Premium takes no share. The reason to move is the memberships, services and events Linktree does not sell.
