Best bio link tools

The best link in bio tools in 2026, compared on what the free plans actually allow

Every tool here is measured against the same four questions: how many links the free plan allows, whether you can see clicks per link, what removing the provider's badge costs, and whether the tool takes a cut of your sales. The table compares eight tools at a glance; the four with the most search interest get a full section each. Everything was read from each vendor's own pricing page — the date below is when we last checked. Linkhiver is one of the eight, so treat its rows as the interested party writing.

Compare four things, in this order

Feature tables are long because length sells. Four things actually decide what a bio page earns you, and the order matters: a cap you hit in week one costs you more than a font you will never change.

  • Links on the free plan — the ceiling you meet first.
  • Clicks per link, or only a total page-view count.
  • Which tier takes the provider's badge off your page.
  • Whether the tool takes a percentage of what you sell.

Linktree

The default, and the one your audience already recognises. Its free plan is the most generous here on link count; the trade is that measurement and a clean page both sit behind tiers.

  • Unlimited links on the free plan — nothing else here matches it.
  • Analytics begin one tier up; the free plan reports no click data.
  • Removing the Linktree badge is two tiers up, on Pro.
  • Digital-product sales carry a 9% fee until the top tier drops it to zero.

Taplink

Built around the selling end of the job — forms, price lists, payments. Its free tier is unusually complete on design and unusually thin on measurement.

  • Unlimited links free, plus QR codes and custom design at no cost.
  • The free plan reports page views only; per-link click analytics is paid.
  • Badge removal and your own domain are both on the top tier.
  • Payments, forms and a CRM sit there too — priced as a selling tool.

Heylink

The one that will let you sell on the free plan, and the one that charges you for it. If your page is a storefront, read the fee line before the feature list.

  • 50 links free — fewer than Linktree or Taplink, more than us.
  • Link analytics are included on the free plan, which is rare here.
  • Sales through the page carry 9.9% + 30c free, 3.9% + 30c on Pro.
  • Custom branding and your own domain are Pro, which lifts the cap to 100 links.

Linkhiver

Ours — so read this as the interested party writing. We run the tightest free link cap of the four, and we are the only one that takes no cut of anything, for the unglamorous reason that we do not process payments at all.

  • 10 links free and 50 on Pro; on link count all three above beat us.
  • Per-link clicks are free, with 365 days of history.
  • Badge removal, your own domain, SEO fields and pixels are Pro: $6 a month or $45 a year.
  • No transaction fees, because selling from the page is not something we do.

Which one to pick

Pick against the bottleneck you actually have rather than the longest feature list. Three of these four answers are not us.

  • More than ten links while paying nothing: Linktree or Taplink.
  • Selling straight from the page: Heylink, if the percentage is acceptable.
  • Click data before you pay anything: Heylink or Linkhiver.
  • A short set of links you intend to measure and tune: Linkhiver.

Frequently asked questions

Which bio link tool has the best free plan?

It depends which ceiling you hit first. Linktree and Taplink allow unlimited links but give you no per-link click data without paying. Heylink allows 50 links with analytics included, and takes a percentage of sales. Linkhiver allows 10 links with per-link clicks free. Decide whether your constraint is link count or measurement, then pick.

Do any of them remove their own branding for free?

None of the four. On Linktree it is two tiers up, on Taplink and Heylink it is the top tier, and on Linkhiver it is Pro at $6 a month. Assume the provider's badge stays on your page until you pay for it.

How do I compare two bio link tools fairly?

Build the same page in both, open them on your own phone, and check whether you can see which link was clicked. The one that is faster to set up and clearer to read usually wins.

Can a free bio page still be worth it?

Yes, if you pick for your constraint. A clean page, clear link blocks and per-link analytics are enough to launch and learn what your audience clicks. What no free plan here gives you is the provider's badge removed or your own domain.
