Linktree quotes in local currency and varies the amount by region, so the figure in a US-written comparison is not the figure waiting on your checkout page — and the tier names and feature boundaries move often enough that a post written last year can be confidently wrong about all four. That's why comparing Linktree pricing by price alone keeps failing, and why the useful comparison is a different one. **Linktree pricing runs across four tiers — Free, Starter, Pro, and Premium — and the durable thing to compare is the feature ladder, not the figure.** Two gates decide nearly every upgrade: taking the Linktree footer off your page needs Pro, and your analytics history stays capped until you buy a longer window. Most of the rest is polish. Below is what you actually buy at each step, taken from [Linktree's pricing page](https://linktr.ee/s/pricing/) and its [paid-features documentation](https://linktr.ee/help/en/articles/5434140-an-overview-of-paid-features-available-on-linktree) — and what the same money buys somewhere built for developers. **On this page:** [Four tiers at a glance](#linktree-pricing-four-tiers-at-a-glance) · [Why nobody can quote one price](#why-nobody-can-quote-you-a-single-linktree-price) · [What free actually limits](#what-the-linktree-free-plan-actually-limits) · [Starter](#starter-scheduling-redirects-and-90-days-of-history) · [Pro and Premium](#pro-and-premium-where-the-branding-comes-off) · [The analytics ladder](#the-analytics-ladder-is-the-real-paywall) · [Which tier you need](#which-linktree-tier-do-you-actually-need) · [What a developer pays instead](#what-a-developer-pays-instead) · [FAQ](#frequently-asked-questions) ## Linktree Pricing: Four Tiers at a Glance | Tier | Who it's aimed at | The headline unlock | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | Anyone testing a link-in-bio page | Unlimited links, core appearance options, basic analytics | | Starter | Creators who post on a schedule | 90-day analytics, link scheduling, redirect links | | Pro | Anyone whose page represents a business or a brand | **Removes Linktree branding**, 365-day analytics, tracking pixels | | Premium | High-volume accounts running paid campaigns | Lifetime analytics, video profile image, unlimited auto-DMs | The ladder is cumulative — each tier is "everything below it, plus." That sounds obvious, but it matters when you're pricing an upgrade: you're never choosing *between* Starter and Pro features, you're deciding how far up the ladder your one blocking feature sits. ![Four stacked cards showing the Linktree tier ladder from Free through Starter, Pro and Premium, with the headline unlock for each tier](https://quillly.com/serve/v1/019e3623-8b91-738d-ae30-42d5bcd996a0/images/81446ebbea4aa235a275f4a849d4f944188a544c.webp) ## Why Nobody Can Quote You a Single Linktree Price Linktree's own pricing page states that pricing varies by region and is displayed in local currency. That single line explains why competing "Linktree pricing 2026" posts disagree with each other and with your checkout screen: they each quote whichever region the author loaded, then the figure ages. So treat any dollar amount you read — including one from us — as a rough shape rather than a quote. Open the pricing page yourself, from the country you'll actually be billed in, and read the number there. What *doesn't* shift under you is which tier owns which feature, because that's documented separately in Linktree's help center and changes far less often than the price card. That's the practical method for any subscription tool, not just this one: find the one feature you're blocked on, find the cheapest tier that carries it, then check the price. Working the other direction — starting from a price and hoping the features line up — is how people end up on Premium for something Starter already did. The same reading applies to [Carrd's tier structure](https://devbio.me/blogs/carrd-pricing-2026), where the meaningful jump is also a single gated feature rather than the headline number. ## What the Linktree Free Plan Actually Limits The Linktree free plan is genuinely usable, and it's worth being precise about where it stops, because the limits are narrower than the internet suggests. - **Links are unlimited.** The free tier does not cap how many links you list. Posts claiming a hard link ceiling are describing a competitor, or an older plan. - **Featured links are capped at one.** This is the real limit people hit. Featured links are the visually promoted ones; free gets a single slot, every paid tier gets unlimited. - **Layouts are limited.** The Grid and Carousel collection layouts sit behind the paywall. - **Analytics are basic.** You get click data, but the extended history window is a paid feature. - **The Linktree footer stays.** Your page carries Linktree's branding until you reach Pro — not Starter. For a personal page pointing at your GitHub and a couple of socials, none of that is disqualifying. It becomes a problem the moment the page is doing commercial work: a freelance landing spot, a product's link hub, a page you hand to a client. At that point the footer and the analytics window stop being cosmetic. If that's your situation, it's worth reading how [link-in-bio tools compare for developers specifically](https://devbio.me/blogs/link-in-bio-for-developers) before you buy a tier — or [starting from a free developer bio instead](https://devbio.me) and seeing whether the tier maths ever comes up. ## Starter: Scheduling, Redirects, and 90 Days of History Starter is the "you post on a cadence" tier. Linktree documents it as carrying extended analytics covering the last 90 days, link scheduling, redirect links, spotlight and animated prioritization, reduced seller fees on digital products, and automated Instagram replies capped at 1,500 DMs a month. Scheduling is the feature that earns it. If you run drops, launches, or event links that need to appear and disappear on a date, doing that by hand is the kind of chore you forget once and regret publicly. Redirect links matter for a narrower group — anyone who needs a stable outbound URL they can repoint later without reprinting anything. What Starter does *not* do is take the branding off. That surprises people, because on most SaaS ladders the first paid tier is the one that removes the vendor's logo. Here it isn't. ## Pro and Premium: Where the Branding Comes Off The Linktree Pro plan is the tier most people are actually shopping for without knowing it. Per Linktree's documentation, the Pro plan adds everything in Starter plus a hero profile image, removal of the Linktree footer, extended analytics covering the last 365 days, font and font-colour customization, QR code customization, audience integrations (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Kit, Google Sheets), Meta Pixel, UTM parameters, and Google Analytics. Notice what's bundled together there. To **remove Linktree branding** you also buy a marketing analytics stack you may have no use for. That's not a criticism of the packaging — it's how tier design works — but it's the reason the upgrade feels expensive to individuals and cheap to businesses. A marketer gets Pixel plus UTMs plus a year of history for the same money that, for a developer, buys one removed footer. Premium sits above it with lifetime analytics history, a video profile image, and uncapped Instagram auto-reply DMs. It's a volume tier. If you don't run Instagram automation and don't need analytics older than a year, the jump from Pro is hard to justify. ## The Analytics Ladder Is the Real Paywall Strip the feature lists down and Linktree pricing is largely a data-retention ladder. Free gives you basic click data. Starter extends the window to 90 days. Pro extends it to 365. Premium keeps it forever. Every tier boundary moves that number. ![Bar chart comparing analytics history retention in days: Linktree Starter at 90 days, Linktree Pro at 365 days, and DevBio Pro at 30 days](https://quillly.com/serve/v1/019e3623-8b91-738d-ae30-42d5bcd996a0/images/387b6e3e736aeef3348d3a4eb5a94fcd72f0e2ac.webp) Two honest caveats on that chart. Linktree Premium retains lifetime history, which has no bar because it has no number. And DevBio's 30-day window is the shortest one shown — deliberately, because it's priced at a level that can't underwrite a year of per-visitor event storage. Ask yourself how far back you have ever actually looked. For most personal pages the answer is "the last month, when I shared something." Retention is easy to sell and hard to use, which is precisely why it makes such a good paywall. If you want the reasoning on what profile analytics are genuinely good for, we went through it in [the developer bio analytics guide](https://devbio.me/blogs/developer-bio-analytics). ## Which Linktree Tier Do You Actually Need? ![Vertical decision flowchart for choosing a Linktree tier based on whether you need branding removed, scheduling, tracking pixels, or lifetime analytics](https://quillly.com/serve/v1/019e3623-8b91-738d-ae30-42d5bcd996a0/images/f3001653024f27121a94ec36fbc6f4a2590b4eae.webp) Run it honestly and most individual developers land on Free or on Pro, with very little in between — which is why Linktree pricing feels either free or expensive to engineers and rarely anything else. Starter solves a creator-shaped problem — scheduled drops, promoted links — that most engineering portfolios simply don't have. And the branding question is binary: either the footer bothers you enough to pay two tiers up, or it doesn't bother you at all. If you landed on Pro purely to lose the footer, that's the moment to check what else charges for that. [Compare the link-in-bio field before you commit](https://devbio.me). ## What a Developer Pays Instead Here's the part where we're the interested party, so the numbers are stated plainly and you can check them on our own homepage. DevBio's free tier is \$0 forever: a public bio at \`devbio.me/\{you}\`, all bio components, GitHub public-repo metadata, a LaTeX PDF resume, a marketplace listing, and custom theming with dark mode. Pro is \$12 a year — billed yearly, which works out to \$1 a month — with a 7-day trial, and it adds a custom domain, removal of the "Powered by devbio" footer, full analytics with 30-day history, a Pro founder badge, GitHub private repos plus the contribution heatmap, and hourly revenue sync instead of every six hours. There's also a founding-member option: \$39 once for Pro permanently, capped at the first 100 buyers. If the footer and a custom domain are the only two things you're climbing tiers for, [check that price against your own currency first](https://devbio.me). ![Side-by-side comparison card showing what Linktree Pro bundles versus what DevBio Pro bundles for a developer audience](https://quillly.com/serve/v1/019e3623-8b91-738d-ae30-42d5bcd996a0/images/4b39c66387f0f6556e1343a71ce281c1e1c606af.webp) The comparison isn't "cheaper is better." It's that the two products bundle for different people. Linktree Pro pays off if you run campaigns and need attribution. DevBio Pro pays off if the thing you want proven is that you ship code — live GitHub data, private-repo contributions, revenue synced from a payment provider rather than screenshotted. Buying a marketing analytics stack to remove a footer from an engineering portfolio is paying for someone else's use case. If you want the wider field rather than a two-way comparison, we ranked it in [Linktree alternatives compared](https://devbio.me/blogs/linktree-alternatives-compared), and the developer-specific argument sits in [the Linktree alternative for developers](https://devbio.me/blogs/linktree-alternative-developers). For the closest single rival, [Linktree vs Carrd](https://devbio.me/blogs/linktree-vs-carrd) comes down to one row that isn't on this ladder at all: Carrd sells a custom domain from $19 a year, and Linktree's paid-features documentation never uses the word. A custom domain deserves its own thought too — [pointing your own domain at a bio](https://devbio.me/blogs/custom-domain-developer-bio) takes about ten minutes and is what makes the page yours rather than rented. Beacons runs the same playbook with a sharper edge: its cheapest paid tier keeps a 9% cut of everything you sell. Our breakdown of [Beacons pricing and the 9% seller fee](https://devbio.me/blogs/beacons-pricing-tiers) works through where that upgrade actually pays for itself, and [Linktree vs Beacons](https://devbio.me/blogs/linktree-vs-beacons) puts the two fee models head to head — a regional subscription against a published percentage, and the sales volume where each stops being cheaper. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How much does Linktree cost per month? There is no single answer. Linktree's pricing page states that pricing varies by region and displays in local currency, so the monthly figure depends on where you're billed. Load the pricing page from your own country for an accurate number, and treat any fixed dollar amount in a blog post as approximate. ### Is the Linktree free plan actually free forever? Yes. The Linktree free plan has no trial clock and includes unlimited links, core appearance options, and basic analytics. Its real constraints are one featured link, no Grid or Carousel layouts, a limited analytics window, and the Linktree footer on your page. ### Which Linktree plan removes the Linktree branding? Pro. This trips people up because on most products the first paid tier removes the vendor's logo. On Linktree, Starter does not — you have to reach Pro, which also bundles 365-day analytics, Meta Pixel, UTM parameters, and Google Analytics whether or not you need them. ### What's the difference between Linktree Pro and Premium? Premium is Pro plus volume features: lifetime analytics history instead of 365 days, a video profile image instead of a static hero image, and uncapped Instagram auto-reply DMs instead of Starter's 1,500 a month. If you don't run Instagram automation, the gap is mostly data retention. ### How far back do Linktree analytics go? It depends on your tier and this is the clearest ladder in the product. Free gives basic analytics, Starter extends to the last 90 days, Pro extends to the last 365 days, and Premium retains lifetime history. Each paid step is largely buying a longer retention window. ### Is Linktree worth paying for as a developer? Only if you need what Pro bundles. If the goal is a clean unbranded page showing live GitHub and project data, you're paying a marketing-tool price for one footer removal. If you run paid campaigns and need Pixel and UTM attribution on your links, Pro is priced fairly for that job. ## Key Takeaways Linktree pricing is four cumulative tiers whose prices are regional, so compare the ladder rather than the number. The branding gate sits at Pro, not Starter — that single fact decides most upgrades. Analytics retention (basic, then 90 days, then 365, then lifetime) is what each paid step is really selling. And Pro's value depends entirely on whether you want the marketing stack it's bundled with. Work it in the order that saves money: name the one feature blocking you, find the cheapest tier that carries it, then look at the price in your own currency. Most developers doing that honestly discover their blocker is a footer and a custom domain — which is a much smaller problem than a Pro subscription. > **Your code already proves you can build** > A free developer bio at devbio.me/{you} with live GitHub data, a LaTeX PDF resume, and all components included.
