The Best Link-in-Bio Tools for Creators Who Sell Services

With that in mind, here's how the top tools actually stack up.

1. Linktree

Linktree is the category-defining link-in-bio tool. If someone says "link in bio," there's a good chance they picture a Linktree page. It has massive brand recognition and a simple, fast-loading design.

What it does well:

• Clean link aggregator pages with analytics on clicks
• Huge variety of link types (video embeds, social icons, tip jars)
• Basic commerce for digital products and paid links
• Recently added a booking feature
• Integrates with hundreds of tools

Pricing:

• Free: $0/month, 12% fee on all commerce transactions
• Starter: $5/month, 12% fee
• Pro: $9/month, 9% fee
• Premium: $24/month, 0% platform fee
• All plans add Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) and a $0.25 payout fee

Where it falls short for service sellers:

Linktree has no built-in video. When someone books a call through Linktree's booking feature, the actual call still happens on Zoom. That means you need a Zoom Pro subscription ($13.33/month) on top of Linktree. You also need Calendly ($10/month or more) for anything beyond basic scheduling, since Linktree's native booking has limited timezone handling, no buffer times, and no intake forms.

The 12% fee on the free plan is steep. A $100 coaching session on Linktree Free leaves you with roughly $84.55 after the platform fee, Stripe processing, and the $0.25 payout charge. And that's before you factor in the $23-plus per month you're paying for the Zoom and Calendly subscriptions you still need.

Linktree is a link page. It sends people to other tools. That is its job. If your goal is a curated list of links to your YouTube, podcast, newsletter, and merch, Linktree is excellent. If your goal is converting a visitor into a paid session booking, you're asking the tool to do something it was not designed for.

Realistic monthly cost for service sellers: Linktree Free ($0) + Calendly Essentials ($10) + Zoom Pro ($13.33) = $23.33/month in subscriptions, plus 12% on every transaction plus Stripe processing.

2. Beacons

Beacons pitches itself as an all-in-one creator page: link-in-bio, storefront, email marketing, and media kit in a single profile. It looks polished, and it has more built-in commerce functionality than Linktree.

What it does well:

• Highly customizable profile pages with good visual design
• Integrated digital product storefront
• Email list capture and basic email marketing
• Media kit generator (useful for brand deal outreach)
• AI-powered tools for writing bios, descriptions, and emails
• Calendly integration for booking

Pricing:

• Free: $0/month, 9% fee on all transactions
• Creator Pro: $30/month, 0% transaction fee
• VIP: Custom

Where it falls short for service sellers:

Beacons has no built-in video. The booking experience depends on a Calendly integration, meaning your client books on Beacons, gets routed through Calendly, and then joins a call on Zoom. That is three separate platforms in the critical window between "I want to book" and "I am showing up."

The 9% fee on the free plan is better than Linktree's 12%, but you still need to budget for Calendly and Zoom on top. Going to Beacons Creator Pro ($30/month) eliminates the transaction fee but does not eliminate the need for video or dedicated scheduling tools.

Beacons is a strong pick if your primary revenue is brand deals and digital products, with live sessions as a secondary offering. The email marketing and media kit features add real value for that use case. But if services (calls, sessions, workshops) are your primary income, you are paying $30-plus per month for features (email blasts, media kits) you may not need, while still paying separately for the things you do need.

Realistic monthly cost for service sellers: Beacons Free ($0) + Calendly ($10) + Zoom Pro ($13.33) = $23.33/month plus 9% per transaction. Or Beacons Creator Pro ($30) + Calendly ($10) + Zoom Pro ($13.33) = $53.33/month with 0% platform fee.

3. Stan Store

Stan Store is a creator storefront with a strong focus on digital products: courses, ebooks, templates, and community memberships. It added booking as a feature, but its DNA is a product store, not a service platform. (For a full breakdown, see our Talkspresso vs Stan Store comparison.)

What it does well:

• Clean, high-converting checkout for digital products
• Course hosting and delivery
• Order bumps, upsells, and funnel features
• Community features
• Booking via Calendly integration
• Good mobile buying experience

Pricing:

• Creator: $29/month, 5% transaction fee
• Creator Pro: $99/month, 0% transaction fee

Where it falls short for service sellers:

Stan Store has no built-in video. Bookings route through Calendly, and calls happen on Zoom. At $29/month minimum before a single booking, you are paying a subscription even on months where sessions are light. Add Zoom Pro ($13.33) and Calendly ($10 for anything robust) and you are at $52.33/month before taking a single booking.

The 5% fee on top of the $29/month can be significant at mid-volumes. The Creator Pro tier at $99/month removes the fee but costs $1,188/year in subscriptions before any transaction costs. That requires substantial session volume to break even versus a platform that charges no monthly fee.

Stan Store is a good fit if digital products (courses, templates, downloads) are your primary offering and services are an occasional add-on. For creators whose main income is live sessions, the pricing structure works against you.

Realistic monthly cost for service sellers: Stan Store Creator ($29) + Zoom Pro ($13.33) + Calendly ($10) = $52.33/month plus 5% on every transaction.

4. Koji

Koji takes a different approach: a platform of interactive mini-apps that creators embed in their link-in-bio. Tip jars, paid shoutouts, Q&A widgets, custom requests, polls. It is creative and different, but it is built around one-off fan interactions, not service delivery.

What it does well:

• Unique interactive experiences (paid shoutouts, custom video requests)
• Good for creators with parasocial, fan-driven audiences
• Developer-friendly for building custom mini-apps
• Free to use with per-app transaction fees

Pricing:

• Platform: Free
• Transaction fees: Typically 5-15% depending on the app, plus Stripe processing

Where it falls short for service sellers:

Koji has no scheduling, no video calls, no session management, and no workshop hosting. It is purpose-built for one-off digital interactions (a fan pays $10 for a personalized shoutout video), not for recurring services like coaching, consulting, or group sessions. The fee structure varies by app and can be hard to predict.

If your revenue model is shoutouts, paid Q&A, or custom content requests, Koji is worth exploring. If you are running a coaching or consulting practice, it is not the right tool.

Realistic monthly cost for service sellers: Koji is not suited for ongoing service delivery. You would still need Calendly, Zoom, and a payment processor separately.

5. Talkspresso

Talkspresso is built differently from the others. It is not a link page that sends people to other tools. Your Talkspresso profile is the destination: a booking page, video room, product store, and client management dashboard in one.

What it does well:

• Built-in HD video for 1:1 calls, group sessions, and workshops (up to 500 attendees). No Zoom required.
• Native scheduling with availability management, Google Calendar sync, timezone handling, buffer times, and booking approval workflows
• Automatic session recording for every call
• AI-generated session summaries with key takeaways and action items, shared with both parties after each call
• Client management: session history, intake forms, booking patterns, and notes
• Digital product sales alongside live services
• One-click conversion of session recordings into sellable products
• Workshop and masterclass hosting with paid ticketing
• No monthly subscription fee

Pricing:

• No monthly subscription
• 10% platform fee on all transactions
• Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30)
• No payout fees

Where it falls short:

Talkspresso is a session platform, not a traditional link-in-bio. It does not aggregate links to your YouTube channel, podcast, or newsletter. If you need a general link page pointing to all your content properties, you would use Talkspresso for booking and sessions while keeping a separate link-in-bio (like Linktree Free) for general link aggregation.

Talkspresso also does not include email marketing. For creators who want to run email campaigns alongside their services, you would add a standalone email tool.

The 10% flat fee is higher than some paid tiers on other platforms (Linktree Premium charges 0%, Stan Store Creator Pro charges 0%). At high volumes with predictable monthly bookings, those platforms' paid tiers can result in lower per-transaction costs. But those platforms still require Zoom and Calendly subscriptions, which often close the gap.

Realistic monthly cost for service sellers: 10% platform fee plus Stripe processing. No additional subscriptions needed for video, scheduling, or recording. A $100 session nets approximately $86.80 after platform fee and Stripe.

Side-by-Side Comparison

The Real Math on "Free"

Free link-in-bio plans look like zero cost until you count what you still need to add.

Typical tool stack for a creator selling services via a free link-in-bio platform:

That's $276-$396/year in platform subscriptions before a single session fee is paid. On top of that, you're paying 9-12% on every transaction to the link-in-bio platform, plus Stripe processing.

With Talkspresso, the subscription cost is $0. You pay 10% per transaction plus Stripe processing. That's it. Video, scheduling, recording, and AI summaries are included.

Here is how it plays out at different volume levels:

Scenario: 5 sessions per month at $100 each ($500/month gross)

At five sessions per month, Talkspresso nets you more per month than any of the stacked alternatives because it has no subscription fees. The math shifts at very high volumes where a paid tier with 0% platform fee can outperform, but the subscription cost has to be factored into that break-even calculation.

The Redirect Problem

There's something worth naming directly: every link on a traditional link-in-bio page sends people away. That's the design. Linktree, Beacons, Stan Store, all of them are collections of exit doors. Click "Book a Call" and you leave for Calendly. Click the Calendly link and you book a time and pay. Then you leave. A confirmation email arrives with a Zoom link. Later you dig up that email, click the Zoom link, and join the call.

For someone buying a digital product, a two-step checkout is fine. For someone booking a live service, each redirect is a moment where they lose motivation, get distracted, or can't find the confirmation email. Research on conversion funnels consistently shows that each additional step in a purchase flow loses between 10 and 25 percent of potential customers.

Talkspresso is designed so there is no redirect. When someone clicks your link in bio and lands on your Talkspresso profile, they are already at the destination. They see your available services, your pricing, and your open time slots. They book, pay, and later join the call without ever leaving the platform or hunting through email. The join link is always in their Talkspresso dashboard.

Your link in bio becomes your booking page. Not a list of doors. The room itself.

Which Tool Is Right for You

Choose Linktree if you need a link aggregator and sell services only occasionally. You are comfortable managing Zoom and Calendly separately and your primary goal is pointing followers to content spread across multiple platforms.

Choose Beacons if personal branding and brand deal outreach are central to your business. The media kit generator and email marketing features add real value if you're actively pitching sponsors alongside selling services.

Choose Stan Store if digital products (courses, templates, ebooks) are your primary revenue and services are a secondary offering. The storefront is well-designed for product conversions.

Choose Koji if your monetization is fan-driven, interactive, and focused on one-off experiences like paid shoutouts, custom video requests, or Q&A. Not the right tool for recurring sessions.

Choose Talkspresso if live services are your primary revenue: coaching, consulting, video calls, workshops, masterclasses, or group sessions. No monthly subscription, built-in video, automatic recording, and your link in bio points directly to your booking page.

A Different Way to Think About "Link in Bio"

The category started as a workaround. Instagram limited you to one link, so someone built a page to hold multiple links. The tool solved that problem well.

But the concept has quietly become the default answer to a different question: "Where do I send people?" And for creators who sell services, "a page of buttons linking to other platforms" is not actually the right answer to that question.

If your goal is to turn a follower into a paying client, you don't need more links. You need a destination. A place where someone can understand what you offer, pick a time, pay, and eventually show up for the session. No detour through three other platforms. No hunting for confirmation emails. No wondering if the Zoom link still works.

The best link-in-bio tools for creators who sell services are the ones where "link in bio" points to a complete booking experience, not the start of a redirect chain. The fewer tools standing between a follower and a booked session, the more sessions you will book.
