Bio Sites vs Linktree: The ultimate comparison you need

Let’s look at what content you can add to Bio Sites and Linktree.

For some reason, neither Bio Sites nor Linktree allows a regular block of individual images.

Sometimes it’s fine: you can use a profile picture and cover images of digital products (we’ll cover them later). But this can be an issue sometimes. Restaurants need photos of their dishes. Or photographers and artists need to show their portfolios. But neither Bio Sites nor Linktree allows that.

You can see the available content blocks in Bio Sites and Linktree:

Conclusion: The only difference in content blocks between Bio Sites and Linktree is that the latter allows you to add a map and an FAQ section. All other blocks are the same.

Let’s see how you can customize your page in Bio Sites and Linktree and how many pre-designed themes and templates they offer.

As you can see, Bio Sites offers not so many design settings as Linktree. However, the former stands out in one area — very creative profile image layouts. Useful when you want to impress a visitor right away.

Some design themes in Bio Sites and Linktree:

Conclusion: Linktree is more flexible in overall customization. It gives more block layouts, design settings, templates, and themes. But if you need a custom domain, only Bio Sites can do it. You can connect a domain on the Squarespace website, which is the Bio Sites’ founder.

We’ll look at whether customers can buy something from you right from your page — no extra clicks, no redirects to other platforms.

Both Bio Sites and Linktree allow this. The table below compares the features you may need for monetization.

Linktree is more focused on monetization — you can sell digital items, appointments, and courses. And most importantly, it doesn’t limit the number of items you can sell.

But there are two major drawbacks. The sales fees are high — 12% on the free plan and 9% on paid plans. Only the most expensive plan doesn’t take a cut.

Another drawback is that you can accept payments through Stripe only. But it’s unavailable in many regions. If your audience is international, some customers won’t be able to pay.

Here’s what monetization blocks look like in Bio Sites and Linktree:

Conclusion: Linktree works best for users who primarily focus on online sales. Bio Sites is more focused on those for whom selling online isn’t a priority and who’d like to sell one digital product or a couple of appointments on the side.

Besides the features we’ve covered, both tools have extra options that might be important for your needs. So, let’s see them as well.

Conclusion: Linktree offers more extra features. However, keep in mind that most of them are available on paid plans. For free, you only get a QR code for the page.

Bio Sites is free. The only paid option is a custom domain. Its cost starts from $14 a year and depends on the domain itself.

Linktree works differently. It has a free plan and three paid options. You can pay monthly or annually. When paying annually, it’s cheaper.

Here’s a breakdown of Linktree plans:

The difference between Linktree plans comes down to design options, fees, and stats.

Conclusion: On the free Linktree plan, you get a page that looks like a standard page with simple links. The Starter plan allows you to animate those links, access basic analytics, and reduce the sales fee slightly. Pro unlocks all design customization options and full analytics. And Premium lets you sell without any fees. Bio Sites, on the other hand, offers a limited set of all features, but at no cost.
