Linkhiver vs Taplink: which link-in-bio page fits you in 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 365-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 365-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.

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 365-day time-series on the free plan. Traffic sources, countries, devices and CSV export join on Pro.
What does Linkhiver's free plan include?
