Linktree Free: $0/month
The Linktree free plan is the entry point. You get a branded linktr.ee/yourname page with unlimited links, basic themes, QR codes, embedded video from YouTube, TikTok, and Vimeo, and basic analytics showing total page views and total clicks. No credit card is required to sign up.
Where Linktree Free pricing gets misleading:
- 12% seller fee applies to every digital product sale through Linktree.
- Linktree branding stays at the bottom of your page — you cannot remove it on Free.
- No advanced analytics — you see totals only, no device, location, or referral breakdown.
- No email or phone collection — you cannot capture leads through Linktree Free.
- No integrations with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or Zapier.
- No Instagram automation (auto-DM/comment replies are Pro-only).
For creators who only need a link-in-bio page to share content (YouTube, podcast, newsletter, socials), Linktree Free is genuinely fine. The moment you start selling, the math changes.
Linktree Starter: $8/month
Starter is the cheapest paid Linktree plan at $8/month, or $5/month equivalent on annual billing ($60/year). Starter is Linktree's mid-2024 addition aimed at creators who want a few customization options without paying for Pro.
What Starter adds on top of Free:
- Custom color palettes (no longer locked to basic themes)
- Premium themes
- Email and phone collection forms on your link page
- Link scheduling (publish and unpublish links on a timer)
- Featured and animated links
- All link and button types (RSS feeds, app links, etc.)
- Seller fee drops from 12% to 9%
What Starter still does not include:
- Linktree branding stays on your page (you need Pro for branding removal)
- No advanced analytics — still just totals
- No Instagram comment/DM automation
- No integrations (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Zapier)
- No branded short URLs
- No Facebook/TikTok pixel
- No video calls, scheduling, or recording (no Linktree plan includes these)
Starter is a decent middle ground if you want customization and the 3% fee reduction but do not need analytics or automation.
Linktree Pro: $15/month
Pro is Linktree's most popular paid tier at $15/month, or $12/month equivalent on annual billing ($144/year). Pro is where Linktree starts feeling like a real marketing tool.
What Pro adds on top of Starter:
- Remove Linktree branding from your page
- Advanced analytics — CTR, unique visitors, device, location, referral source, CSV export
- Instagram comment and DM automation (auto-reply with links)
- Integrations with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Google Sheets, Zapier
- Branded short URLs with UTM parameter tracking
- Facebook and TikTok pixels for retargeting campaigns
The Pro pricing tier keeps the same 9% seller fee as Starter. For a deeper feature-by-feature breakdown of what changes between Pro and Free, see our Linktree Pro vs Free feature comparison.
For creators with active Instagram audiences, the comment and DM automation alone can pay for the $15/month subscription. For creators selling digital products through Linktree, the 3% fee reduction from Starter to Pro starts paying off above roughly $230/month in sales (the point where 3% of sales exceeds the $7/month price gap).
Linktree Premium: $35/month
Premium sits at the top of Linktree pricing at $35/month, or $24/month equivalent on annual billing ($288/year). The flagship feature is the 0% seller fee on digital product sales — Premium is the only Linktree plan that does not skim a percentage off every sale.
What Premium adds on top of Pro:
- 0% seller fee on digital products (down from 9%)
- Team member seats for managing the account collaboratively
- Lifetime analytics history (versus 365 days on Pro)
- Verified profile badge for higher trust signals
- Priority customer support with faster response times
- Custom domain support beyond branded short URLs
Premium is built for creators who treat Linktree as a serious sales channel. The math is straightforward: at $1,000/month in digital product sales, Premium saves you $90/month in fees versus Pro's 9%, far more than the $20/month price difference. Below roughly $670/month in sales, Pro is cheaper than Premium because the 9% fee on small volumes is less than the $20/month subscription gap.
The Hidden Cost: Linktree Pricing Without Video, Scheduling, or Recording
The Linktree pricing tiers above all share one limitation: no plan includes built-in video calls, paid session scheduling, session recording, or workshop hosting. None of them. Not Free, not Premium.
For creators selling content links (YouTube, podcast, newsletter), that does not matter. For creators selling live services — coaching calls, consulting sessions, workshops, paid 1:1s — it matters a lot. The Linktree pricing page makes Pro look like a complete tool. In practice, service-selling creators add:
| Tool | Typical Monthly Cost |
|---|
| Linktree Pro | $15 |
| Calendly Standard | $12 |
| Zoom Pro | $13.33 |
| Combined stack | $40.33/month |
That is $484/year in subscriptions before the first sale, plus Linktree's 9% seller fee on top of Stripe processing. Every redirect between Linktree → Calendly → Stripe → Zoom also loses 10-25% of potential buyers, because friction kills conversion.
This is why we treat the published Linktree pricing as the floor, not the ceiling. The real Linktree price for service creators is closer to $40-$60/month once the missing pieces are filled in.
Linktree Pricing vs Alternatives
If you sell live services, the most useful comparison is not Linktree Free vs Linktree Pro — it's the whole Linktree-plus-tools stack vs an all-in-one platform.
| Cost / Feature | Linktree Pro + Zoom + Calendly | Talkspresso |
|---|
| Fixed monthly cost | $40.33/mo | $0/mo |
| Platform fee | 9% (Linktree digital products) | 10% on bookings |
| Built-in HD video | No (Zoom required) | Yes |
| Session recording | Add-on (Zoom Pro) | Automatic |
| AI session notes | No | Yes |
| Scheduling with calendar sync | Calendly required |
For a creator earning $1,000/month in bookings:
- Linktree Pro + Calendly + Zoom: $40.33/mo subscriptions + 9% Linktree fee on any product sales + Stripe processing ≈ $130/mo total cost on $1,000 of digital products
- Talkspresso: $0/mo fixed + 10% platform fee + Stripe processing ≈ $130/mo total cost on $1,000
Comparable cost. One platform versus four. And your client clicks the link, picks a time, pays, and lands in a video call without ever leaving your booking page.

Annual vs Monthly: Which Linktree Pricing Wins
Annual billing on Linktree saves roughly 20-30% across the paid tiers:
- Starter: $8/mo monthly vs $5/mo annual — 38% off ($36/yr saved)
- Pro: $15/mo monthly vs $12/mo annual — 20% off ($36/yr saved)
- Premium: $35/mo monthly vs $24/mo annual — 31% off ($132/yr saved)
Annual billing also locks the price for 12 months, which matters because Linktree raised prices in 2025 and may raise them again. If you're confident you'll use Linktree for at least 8-9 months, the annual plan effectively becomes cheaper than monthly even if you cancel partway through the year. If you're trialing, start monthly and upgrade to annual once you're sure.
Who Should Pay What
A quick decision matrix based on what you actually do:
- You share links to content only (YouTube, podcast, newsletter): Linktree Free ($0/mo) is enough.
- You want custom colors and email collection but no automation: Linktree Starter ($8/mo) is the sweet spot.
- You want branding removal, analytics, and Instagram automation: Linktree Pro ($15/mo) earns its price.
- You sell $500+/month in digital products through Linktree: Linktree Premium ($35/mo) saves more in fees than it costs.
- You sell live coaching, consulting, or workshops: No Linktree tier is built for this — look at platforms with built-in video and scheduling.
The Bottom Line on Linktree Pricing
Linktree pricing is straightforward on the surface: four plans from $0 to $35/month, with annual billing saving roughly 20-30%. The complications start when you factor in the seller fee (0-12% depending on plan) and the missing features that force creators to add Zoom and Calendly on top.
For link sharing, any Linktree tier is fine. For selling live services, none of them are — and the real Linktree price for a service creator looks more like $40-$60/month once the stack is complete. That's the number worth comparing against an all-in-one platform built for paid video, not the headline subscription price.
