Taplink alternative: Linkhiver vs Taplink, compared for 2026
Taplink is one of the longest-running link-in-bio tools, and its free Basic tier is genuinely usable. The real differences sit in three places: where analytics live, how the paid tiers are billed, and what ships free on top of the page.
Quick answer
Linkhiver is a free Taplink alternative with 30-day click analytics on the free plan and monthly Pro billing at $6, while Taplink offers unlimited free links but keeps click analytics in paid tiers sold only as 3-, 6- or 12-month bundles (as of August 2026).
Summary
- Linkhiver's free plan includes per-link click analytics with a 30-day window; Taplink's free Basic does not — analytics start in the paid Pro tier.
- Taplink's paid tiers are region-priced and sold only as 3-, 6- or 12-month bundles; Linkhiver Pro is $6/month or $45/year, cancel anytime.
- Taplink's free tier puts no cap on links; Linkhiver's free plan holds 10 — and adds a URL shortener, a digital business card and an email signup block for free.

When Taplink fits better
An honest list — Taplink earns its users:
- You want a free tier with no cap on links and can live without analytics there.
- You need blocks Linkhiver deliberately skips: custom HTML or scheduled link display.
- You already use Taplink's paid commerce blocks and the bundle pricing works out for you.

Frequently asked questions
Is Taplink free?
Taplink's Basic tier is free and puts no cap on how many links you add. Click analytics, professional templates, media blocks and pixels sit in the paid Pro and Business tiers, which are region-priced and sold as 3-, 6- or 12-month bundles (as of August 2026).
Can I pay for Taplink monthly?
Not in the usual sense — paid tiers are billed as multi-month bundles with a three-month minimum. Linkhiver Pro bills monthly at $6 or yearly at $45, and you can cancel anytime.
Does Linkhiver really include analytics for free?
Yes. Every link gets a click count and a 30-day time-series on the free plan. Traffic sources, countries, devices and CSV export join on Pro.
What does Linkhiver's free plan include?
10 links, 12 templates, embeds from 9 platforms, QR codes, 30-day analytics, a URL shortener with custom codes, a digital business card and an email signup block. A small Linkhiver badge stays on free pages.
Will I lose followers by switching?
No — your audience follows your social profiles, not your link page. Once you swap the bio link, the next tap lands on your Linkhiver page.
Does Linkhiver work in my language?
The interface and your page work in seven languages: English, French, German, Russian, Turkish, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
Where our incentives sit
A comparison written by one of the two products is only worth reading if you can see what the author stands to gain. Here is ours, and what you can check without taking our word for it.
We are never in your payment path
Linkhiver does not process sales, tips or subscriptions, so there is no cut for us to take. Link a Shopify, Ko-fi or Gumroad storefront from your page and the buyer pays that storefront directly — the money never passes through us. That is structural rather than a promise: we cannot start taking a percentage of something we never handle.
No ads on your page, on either plan
Your page carries your links and nothing we sold to somebody else. The free plan shows a small Linkhiver badge, which Pro removes; that badge is the only thing on your page you did not put there.
Our own counters are rounded down
The creator, page-view and click totals on our home page are read live from the database, floored to the nearest step and shown with a plus, so they can only understate. The real figure is a few hundred creators, and that is what we print.
A claim we have withdrawn fails our build
An audit in August 2026 found inflated numbers on this site: a template count, a hardcoded view count, a user count. Each was corrected, and a test now scans all seven language catalogs on every deploy and refuses to build if one of them comes back.
Prices on this page are in US dollars, because that is how each vendor publishes them. Linkhiver Pro is billed in local currency where we have set one; the exact amount appears at checkout.
