Linktree is the most popular link-in-bio tool on the market. Over 50 million creators use it. But choosing the right Linktree plan means understanding exactly which features you get at each price point, because the gaps between tiers are bigger than most people expect.
This is a complete comparison of every Linktree plan and feature in 2026: what each tier includes, what it costs, and where all of them fall short.
TL;DR
Linktree has four plans: Free ($0), Starter ($8/mo), Pro ($15/mo), and Premium ($35/mo). Every plan gets unlimited links and basic themes. The real differences are seller fees (12% on Free, 9% on Starter/Pro, 0% on Premium), analytics depth, email collection, integrations, and branding control. No plan includes built-in video calls, session recording, or workshop hosting. Creators who sell live sessions need tools Linktree doesn't offer at any price.
Linktree Pricing at a Glance
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per month) | Seller Fee | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 12% | Link sharing only |
| Starter | $8 | $6 | 9% | Growing an email list |
| Pro | $15 | $12 | 9% | Professional branding |
| Premium | $35 | $30 | 0% | High-volume sellers |
Annual billing saves about 20% across all paid plans. All plans also incur standard Stripe or PayPal processing fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30) on transactions, separate from the seller fee.
Free Plan: What You Get for $0
Linktree's free plan is genuinely useful for its core purpose: organizing your links in one place.
Included features:
- Unlimited links with drag-and-drop ordering
- Basic themes with limited color and button customization
- Profile photo and bio text
- Social media icons linking to your profiles
- QR code generation for offline sharing
- Embedded video from YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, and Twitch
- Link thumbnails for visual buttons
- Headers to organize sections
- Basic analytics: total page views, link clicks, and referral sources
- Commerce: sell digital products and accept tips
What's missing:
- Custom color palettes and advanced themes
- Email or phone number collection
- Link scheduling
- Advanced analytics (devices, location, click-through rates)
- Integrations (Mailchimp, Zapier, Google Sheets)
- Removal of Linktree branding
- Redirect links
The 12% seller fee is the biggest drawback. On a $50 product sale, Linktree takes $6 plus Stripe takes about $1.75. You keep $42.25 out of $50.
The free plan works if you only need a landing page for your social links. The moment you start selling, fees add up fast.
Starter Plan ($8/month): Grow Beyond Links
Starter is Linktree's entry-level paid plan, adding the features most creators hit a wall without on the free tier.
Everything in Free, plus:
- Custom color palettes and expanded theme options
- Email and phone number collection from visitors
- Redirect links for affiliate marketing and promotions
- Social media scheduling (limited posts)
- Priority support
- Reduced seller fee: 9% instead of 12%
Still missing:
- Remove Linktree branding
- Advanced analytics (click-through rates, unique visitors, device/location data)
- CSV export of analytics
- Integrations with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Google Sheets, Zapier
- Facebook/TikTok pixel support
- Branded short URLs with UTM tracking
- Instagram DM automation
Starter is worth the $8 if you sell digital products regularly. The 3% fee reduction (12% down to 9%) saves you $3 for every $100 in sales. At $267/month in sales, the $8 subscription pays for itself through the lower fee alone.
Email collection is the other big unlock. Building a subscriber list directly from your link-in-bio is a growth tool the free plan blocks entirely.
Pro Plan ($15/month): Analytics and Integrations
Pro is where Linktree starts to feel like a real marketing tool instead of just a link page.
Everything in Starter, plus:
- Remove Linktree branding from your page
- Advanced analytics: click-through rates, unique visitors, device breakdown, geographic data
- Export analytics as CSV reports
- Link scheduling (publish and unpublish links on a timer)
- Branded short URLs with UTM parameter tracking
- Integrations with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Google Sheets, and Zapier
- Facebook and TikTok pixel support for retargeting
- Instagram automation for DM-to-link flows
- Featured and animated links to highlight key content
- Seller fee: 9% (same as Starter)
Still missing:
- 0% seller fee
- Unlimited social scheduling
- Team collaboration features
- Lifetime analytics (Pro has a rolling window)
- Concierge onboarding
Pro is the minimum plan for creators who treat their link-in-bio as a conversion tool. The analytics upgrade is significant: knowing where your visitors come from, what devices they use, and which links actually convert gives you data to optimize.
The integrations are equally important. Connecting your Linktree to Mailchimp or Klaviyo means email addresses collected on your page flow directly into your marketing automation without manual work.
Note that the seller fee stays at 9%, same as Starter. You're paying $7 more per month for analytics, integrations, and branding, not for lower transaction costs.
Premium Plan ($35/month): Zero Seller Fees
Premium is Linktree's top tier, aimed at creators with significant digital product revenue.
Everything in Pro, plus:
- 0% seller fee on all digital product sales
- Unlimited social media scheduling across 3 brands
- Lifetime analytics with full historical data (no rolling window)
- Team collaboration features for multi-person management
- Concierge onboarding with Linktree support
- Unlimited automated DM replies
The 0% seller fee is the defining feature. On other plans, every sale loses 9-12% to Linktree. On Premium, the only transaction cost is Stripe/PayPal processing (about 3.2%).
Here's the math on when Premium pays for itself:
| Monthly Sales | Fee on Pro (9%) | Fee on Premium (0%) | Monthly Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| $200 | $18 | $0 | -$17 (Pro wins) |
| $400 | $36 | $0 | $1 (break-even) |
| $500 | $45 | $0 | $10 (Premium wins) |
| $1,000 | $90 | $0 | $55 (Premium wins) |
At roughly $400/month in digital product sales, Premium's $35 subscription is offset by the 9% you save on fees. Above that, Premium saves real money.
For creators earning $1,000+ per month through Linktree commerce, Premium is the clear choice. Below $400/month, Pro or Starter offers better value.
Features No Linktree Plan Includes
Some features are absent from every Linktree tier, including Premium at $35/month:
- Built-in video calls. No plan has a video room. Selling coaching calls, consulting, or paid sessions requires Zoom ($13/month), Google Meet, or another external tool.
- Session recording. There's no way to record a call through Linktree. Recording depends on whatever separate video tool you use.
- AI session summaries. No automatic notes, takeaways, or action items after calls.
- Scheduling for paid sessions. Linktree Bookings exists as a widget but routes clients to external calendar and video tools.
- Client management. No CRM, no session history, no intake forms, no repeat-client tracking.
- Workshops and group sessions. You cannot sell tickets to a live workshop for 50 or 500 people.
- Digital product hosting with no fees. Even Premium charges Stripe processing fees. The 0% seller fee only removes Linktree's cut.
These gaps matter most for creators who sell their time and expertise. Linktree is a link page. It handles links well. But it was never built to be a session platform, a storefront, or a client management tool.

How Linktree Compares for Creators Who Sell Sessions
If you sell your time through live sessions, here's what the actual cost stack looks like with Linktree versus a dedicated platform:
Linktree + External Tools:
- Linktree Pro: $15/month (for analytics and integrations)
- Zoom: $13/month (for video calls)
- Calendly: $12/month (for paid session scheduling)
- Seller fee: 9% on any Linktree commerce
- Total: $40/month + 9% seller fee + payment processing
Talkspresso:
- Monthly fee: $0
- Built-in HD video, scheduling, payments, recording, AI summaries, client management, digital products
- Platform fee: 10% when you earn
- Total: $0/month + 10% platform fee (includes payment processing)
With Linktree, you're managing three separate tools, paying $40/month before you earn anything, and still losing 9% on digital product sales. With Talkspresso, everything is in one platform and you pay nothing until you make money.
You can also use both together. Keep Linktree as your link-in-bio and add your Talkspresso booking page as one of the links. The platforms complement each other.
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Choose Free if:
- You only share links (no selling, no list building)
- You're fine with Linktree branding
- You don't need analytics beyond page views and clicks
Choose Starter ($8/month) if:
- You sell digital products and want to reduce the 12% fee to 9%
- You want to collect emails from your bio link
- You don't need advanced analytics or integrations yet
Choose Pro ($15/month) if:
- You want to remove Linktree branding
- You need advanced analytics to understand your audience
- You use email marketing tools like Mailchimp or Klaviyo
- You want to run retargeting with Facebook or TikTok pixels
Choose Premium ($35/month) if:
- You sell $400+ per month in digital products through Linktree
- You want to eliminate the seller fee entirely
- You need team collaboration or unlimited scheduling
- You want full historical analytics without a rolling window
Choose a different platform if:
- You sell live sessions, coaching, consulting, or workshops
- You want built-in video, scheduling, and payments in one place
- You want session recording with AI summaries
- You prefer paying a percentage when you earn instead of a monthly fee
For that last category, Talkspresso is built for creators who monetize through live interaction. No monthly fee. Built-in HD video. Automatic recording. Scheduling, payments, client management, intake forms, and digital products in one platform.
The Bottom Line
Linktree is a strong link-in-bio tool at every price point. The free plan handles basic link management well. Starter unlocks email collection and lower fees. Pro adds analytics and integrations that matter for growth. Premium eliminates seller fees for high-volume sellers.
But every Linktree plan shares the same limitation: none of them can host a video call, record a session, manage clients, or run a workshop. For creators who share links, Linktree is great. For creators who sell their expertise through live sessions, you need a platform built for that.
Start selling sessions with Talkspresso. No monthly fee, pay only when you earn.
