Linktree Pricing in 2026: Every Plan, Fee and Limit, Explained
Linktree runs four plans in 2026 — Free, Starter at $8, Pro at $15 and Premium at $35 a month — plus a 12% commission on free-plan sales. Here is what each tier actually includes, and where the real price cliffs are.
Linktree's pricing page lists four plans, but the number most people search for is simpler: as of August 2026, Linktree costs $0 on the free plan, $8/month for Starter, $15/month for Pro and $35/month for Premium (billed monthly), and removing the Linktree footer from your page starts on Pro — $144 a year. On the free plan, selling through your page also carries a 12% commission.
That is the short answer. The rest of this guide covers what each plan actually includes, the price rise that got here, the fees that do not appear on the headline price, and the honest math on cheaper routes to the same features.
Linktree Pricing at a Glance (August 2026)
| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | The one-line summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Unlimited basic links and product selling; the Linktree footer stays |
| Starter | $72/year ($6/mo equivalent) | $8/month | Personalised page and basic analytics; still does not remove the footer |
| Pro | $144/year ($12/mo equivalent) | $15/month | The first tier that removes Linktree branding; enhanced themes, advanced analytics, mailing-list integrations |
| Premium | $360/year ($30/mo equivalent) | $35/month | Zero seller fees, affiliate shop, dynamic links and smart routing, analytics export, social scheduling |
Two things about reading that table. First, the per-month figures Linktree advertises most prominently are the annual-billing rates — they are only true if you pay twelve months up front. The billed-monthly column is what you pay month to month. Second, the plan names changed meaning over time: today's Starter does less than the old $5 Pro did, which is part of why the next section exists.
The November 2025 Price Rise
Linktree raised prices across the board in November 2025 — the increases ran roughly 46–67% depending on tier, which is how the ladder reached today's $8–$35 range. Nothing about that is unusual for a category leader consolidating its position: Linktree acquired and then shut down Koji in January 2024, and shut down Bento in February 2026 after acquiring it.
The practical consequence: if you compared link-in-bio pricing before November 2025, your numbers are stale. The free plan survived the rise, but every paid tier costs more than the plan you may remember.
What the Free Plan Actually Includes (and Holds Back)
Linktree's free plan is genuinely generous in one specific way: unlimited basic links, plus the ability to sell products from the page. If a long list of links at $0 is your whole requirement, it does that better than most competitors — including us; Linkhiver's free plan caps at 10 links.
What the free plan holds back:
- The Linktree footer stays on your page. Removing it requires Pro at $144/year — Starter at $72/year does not remove it.
- Selling costs 12%. Product sales on the free plan carry a 12% Linktree commission on top of payment-processor fees.
- The upgrade most people eventually want is branding removal, and that is exactly the feature priced two tiers up.
Which Plan Removes the Linktree Logo?
Pro, at $15/month or $144/year. This trips people up because Starter sits in between: you can pay Linktree $72 a year and still have their logo on your page. If badge removal is why you are opening your wallet, the real entry price for Linktree is $144 a year — compare on that number, not on Starter's $72.
The Fees That Are Not on the Pricing Page
Linktree monetization features carry seller fees below the top tier — 12% on the free plan — and Premium ($35/month) is the first plan with zero seller fees. If you sell meaningful volume through your page, that commission is part of your real Linktree price: on $1,000 of free-plan sales, $120 goes to Linktree before processor fees.
The alternative structure is to keep checkout on platforms you already use — Shopify, Gumroad, Ko-fi — and use the bio page purely as the router, which makes the commission question disappear entirely.
Cheaper Routes to the Same Features
Honest framing first: if you will never pay for a bio link and you need more than 10 links, Linktree's free plan is the right answer and no alternative needs to enter the conversation.
If you are paying to get the badge off your page, the math changes. Linkhiver Pro is $45/year (or $6/month) and removes the badge, raises the link cap to 50, adds your own domain, editable SEO title/description/OG image, traffic sources and CSV export. That is less than Linktree Starter — the plan that does not remove their footer — and roughly a third of Linktree Pro, the plan that does. Per-link click analytics with a 365-day window are on Linkhiver's free plan, not behind the paywall.

Why did Linktree raise its prices?
Linktree has not published a detailed rationale; the November 2025 rise of roughly 46–67% across paid tiers followed a period of consolidation in the category, including its acquisitions and later shutdowns of Koji (January 2024) and Bento (February 2026).

On Linktree, branding removal starts at $144/year (Pro). On Linkhiver it is $45/year, which is the lowest of the tools we compare — see the full comparison for what else each plan includes.
Linktree prices in this article were read from Linktree's own pricing page on 13 August 2026, and annual figures are the billed-annually monthly rate multiplied by twelve. Both companies change plans; check both pricing pages before you commit.
The Real Price Is the Tier You Actually Need
Linktree's headline range is $0–$35 a month, but almost nobody buys the headline. The number that matters is the price of the specific thing you want: unlimited free links ($0, footer included), a page without their logo ($144/year), or selling without commission ($360/year). Decide which of those you are actually buying, then compare that number.
