Why people look for a Linktree alternative
Linktree is the best-known link in bio tool, and for a simple list of links it works well. People start looking for a Linktree alternative for a few common reasons:
- Fees on sales. At the time of writing (September 2026), Linktree charges a percentage seller fee on digital product sales on its lower plans. If you sell guides, presets or sessions, that cut adds up. Check Linktree's pricing page for the current rate.
- Payments that fit India. Linktree has no UPI pay button. For creators and small businesses in India, UPI is how most customers want to pay.
- More than links. Many creators want a WhatsApp chat button, lead capture, a booking link or a product checkout on the same page, without stitching together extra tools.
- Price. A lot of people want a proper free version, or a paid plan that is cheap enough not to think about.
Biolinko was built in Kolkata by Meek Media LLP with those gaps in mind, and it works for creators anywhere in the world. Your page lives at biolinko.me/yourname, just like a Linktree address.

Is there a free Linktree alternative that is actually free?
Yes. The Biolinko Free plan is free forever and needs no card. It is not a trial that runs out. Here is what the free Linktree alternative includes:
- 1 page with up to 30 blocks. Link buttons with icons and thumbnails, a header, social icons, text, images, video, music, FAQs and more.
- All 8 themes. Every theme is free, so a free page does not look like a cut-down version.
- 46 free block types. Including a UPI pay button, WhatsApp chat button, email and phone collectors, a contact form, countdown timer, map, business hours and a save-contact card. See all blocks.
- 30 days of analytics. Views, clicks per link, click-through rate, countries, devices and referrers.
The only mark on a free page is a small “Made with Biolinko” badge. Linktree's free plan also exists and carries Linktree branding, so on price alone the two start in the same place. The difference is what the free plan can do: payment and chat buttons, lead capture and analytics are all included.
What Pro adds
Pro costs $5/month (₹299 in India), $48/year or $89 once for lifetime access (₹4,999 in India). It adds unlimited pages and blocks, all 57 blocks, badge removal, unlimited analytics history, tracking pixels (Meta, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, TikTok and more), link scheduling, password-protected pages and custom CSS. Your first Pro payment has a full refund within 14 days. Full details are on the pricing page.
Selling from your bio with a 0% platform fee
On Pro you can add a Product block (a digital download or a service) and a Tip jar. Buyers pay by UPI, cards, netbanking or wallets, and the money goes straight into your own Razorpay account. Biolinko takes a 0% platform fee. Only Razorpay's normal processing fee applies.
- Price in INR or USD.
- Files are delivered automatically, with an order page and an email receipt.
- Every order shows in your Sales dashboard, and payments that went through but were not confirmed in the browser are recovered automatically.
One honest limit: Razorpay onboards businesses in India, so built-in selling is made for Indian creators. If you are outside India, you can still use Biolinko and link to your Gumroad, Shopify, Etsy or Stripe payment link with a normal button. You will not get the built-in checkout, but you also will not pay a platform fee to us.
The Linktree alternative for India: UPI and WhatsApp built in
If your followers are in India, two buttons matter more than any theme: pay and chat. Both are free blocks on Biolinko.
- UPI pay button. Opens GPay, PhonePe or Paytm with your UPI ID filled in. Set a fixed amount (a ₹499 consultation) or let people type their own (tips, donations, advance payments).
- WhatsApp chat button. Opens a chat with your number and a prefilled message, like “Hi, I saw your page and want to book a table”. Need just the link? Try our free WhatsApp link generator.
Pro is priced in rupees too: ₹299/month, ₹2,988/year (about ₹249/month) or ₹4,999 once. For home bakers, tutors, salons, coaches and freelancers who take orders on WhatsApp and payment on UPI, this is the main reason to pick Biolinko over Linktree.
How to switch from Linktree in one minute
- Open your Linktree page and copy the links you actually use: your latest video, shop, booking link, newsletter and social profiles.
- Sign up free at biolinko.me/register and pick your username.
- Paste your links when asked. Social profiles such as Instagram, YouTube and X become a row of icons, and everything else becomes a button. This takes about a minute.
- Pick a theme or template. Start from one of the 6 templates (Creator, Musician, Fitness coach, Café, Freelancer, Course seller) and add UPI, WhatsApp or an email collector if you want them.
- Swap the link in your bio. Replace your Linktree address with biolinko.me/yourname on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and anywhere else.
Your Linktree keeps working until the moment you swap the link, so nothing breaks while you set up. Old links you shared in past posts or emails will still open your Linktree, so you can keep it live for a while or point it to your new page.
When Linktree is the better choice
A fair comparison should say where the other tool wins. Linktree may suit you better if:
- You want the best-known name. Linktree is the tool most people recognise, and some brands and agencies ask for it by name.
- You need QR codes. Linktree has QR codes. Biolinko does not have a QR code generator.
- You want a custom domain. Biolinko pages live on biolinko.me/yourname. Custom domains are not offered.
- You sell outside India and want built-in checkout. Our checkout runs on Razorpay, which is for Indian businesses. Global sellers link to their own store instead.
- You need a native mobile app. Biolinko's editor works in your phone's browser; there is no iOS or Android app.
If none of those matter, Biolinko gives you more on the free plan and a cheaper Pro plan with no cut of your sales.
