9 link in bio tools for Instagram and other socials

If you found this article while trying to figure out what is a link in bio tool, which you read or heard about somewhere, then here is a brief definition:

Link in bio tools are similar to website builders, but not the same. Here are the main differences of the tools:

Here's how to use a link in bio tool. It gives you a page. You add links to it. You link to this page in your bio, for example, on Instagram. Thus, you have one link in your bio, but it leads to a page with several links.

Below you can see an example. On the left screenshot, there is an Instagram bio with a link. On the right screenshot, there is the page that users get to through this link.

We wanted to be fair when listing link in bio tools. That’s why we studied the articles at the top of Google search results and selected the tools that are mentioned most often in them. Then, we studied their pages on Product Hunt and ranked them by the awards and stars.

At the top of the list are the tools that have more awards. If there are several with the same number of awards, the one with higher awards goes up. If the awards are the same, the priority is given to a tool with more stars. If the awards and stars are the same, the tool that also has ratings on Capterra and Trustpilot is ranked higher.
