Your link-in-bio page is the single most valuable URL you own. It sits in every profile, every video description, every email signature. So why rent it monthly from a company that keeps raising the price and putting the features you actually need behind the next tier up?
LinkLeaf is a free, open-source link-in-bio tool. Use the hosted version at linkleaf.im — claim your handle in 60 seconds, no credit card — or download the code and self-host it on your own domain. Either way, you own the page, the analytics, and the audience.
Why people leave Linktree
- The price keeps climbing. Linktree raised Pro from about $9/mo to $15/mo in late 2025 ($12/mo if you pay annually). That's ~$180/year, forever, for a page of links.
- The good stuff is gated. Removing the Linktree logo, meaningful analytics, and click data all live behind the paid tiers.
- They take a cut of your sales. Linktree charges a commission on digital-product and tip transactions on top of your subscription.
- Your data isn't really yours. Analytics and subscriber capture live on Linktree's servers, on Linktree's terms.
- Branding lock-in. The free plan makes you advertise them.
How LinkLeaf is different
- Free, forever, on the hosted version — claim a handle at linkleaf.im in about 60 seconds, no credit card, no trial clock.
- Open source (MIT) and self-hostable — the repo is Docker-ready, so you can run it on your own domain and infrastructure if you want full control.
- Drag-to-reorder block editor with a full catalog of block types — links, headings, embeds, and more.
- 6 polished themes plus custom styling so your page looks designed, not templated.
- Built-in analytics — views, clicks, and CTR — stored in your own database. Not rented dashboards; your numbers.
- No branding lock-in. Your page promotes you, not us.
- Fast, mobile-first public pages with zero trackers — quick to load and privacy-respecting for your visitors.
- Your subscriber data is always yours.
