Best link in bio tools in 2026, compared
The best link in bio tool depends on what you're sending people to. Linktree is the one most people know. Beacons suits creators who sell. Lnk.Bio is the cheapest to own. OneLink is built for people who publish often, such as newsletters, writers, and galleries.

We make OneLink, so read this with that in mind. This guide compares what each company publishes about its plans. We haven't run a hands-on test of all four.
The short answer
- You want the familiar choice with the most integrations: Linktree.
- You sell digital products and want a media kit: Beacons.
- You want to pay once and be done: Lnk.Bio.

Prices are in US dollars. We read them on each company's own pricing page on November 14, 2026. Prices change, so check the company's page before you buy.
Here's what the cheapest paid option costs over two years, paying yearly or once:
- Lnk.Bio: $9.99 once for Mini, or $24.99 once for Unique.
- OneLink: $49 once for Founding, or $96 for two years of Pro.
- Linktree: $168 for two years of Starter.
- Beacons: $200 for two years of Creator.
The plans don't include the same things, so use this as a starting point and check what each one covers.
Linktree
Linktree is the largest and the one your followers have most likely seen. The free plan covers the basics. Starter adds basic click data. Pro removes the Linktree logo and connects your mailing list. Premium adds social media scheduling and all-time click data.
Good for: anyone who wants a familiar page running in ten minutes.
Watch for: Linktree lists 0% selling fees on Pro and Premium, not on Free or Starter. The logo stays until Pro, which is $17 a month, or $14 a month paid yearly.
Beacons
Beacons gives away more on its free plan than most, including a store, a media kit that updates every day, and Instagram auto-replies. It takes 9% of each sale on the Free and Creator plans. Creator Plus, at $30 a month, takes no seller fee and removes the Beacons logo.
Good for: creators who sell downloads or pitch to brands.
Watch for: the jump from $10 to $30 a month to drop the 9% seller fee.
Lnk.Bio
Lnk.Bio's difference is the price. There's a free plan with unlimited links, a $0.99 monthly plan, and two one-time payments: $9.99 for Mini and $24.99 for Unique. Unique removes the Lnk.Bio logo for good.
Good for: a plain list of links you'll keep for years.
Watch for: extras that cost more on top, such as your own domain at $29.99 a year and the booking calendar at $4 a month.
OneLink
OneLink shows each link as a tile with its picture and headline, so the page looks like a front page for your work. On Pro, you connect your site or newsletter feed and new stories appear on their own. Publish on Tuesday, and the new issue is on your page within the hour, without you opening OneLink. Pro also adds bookings and email sign-ups. You can bring your links over from Linktree, Beacons, or Lnk.Bio in one step.
Good for: newsletters, writers, publishers, artists, and galleries.
Watch for: it's newer and smaller than the other three, so it has fewer third-party integrations and a shorter track record.
How to choose
Step 1: Count how often your links change. If it's weekly, pick a tool that updates itself.
Step 2: Decide whether you'll sell. If yes, compare the fee on each sale as well as the monthly price. A 9% fee on $1,000 of sales is $90.
Step 3: Check what happens to the logo. Most free plans show the tool's name on your page.
Step 4: Look at the page on a phone. That's where nearly all your visitors will see it.
Questions people ask
Is there a free link in bio tool?
Yes. All four have a free plan that doesn't expire.
Do I need a link in bio tool at all?
Not always. Instagram lets you add up to five links yourself. A tool helps once you have more than five, or want pictures and click counts.
Can I switch tools later?
Yes. Your bio holds one address, so you change it once. OneLink can import your links from Linktree, Beacons, and Lnk.Bio.
