Linktree has four plans: Free at $0, Starter at $8/month ($6 billed annually), Pro at $15/month ($12 billed annually), and Premium at around $35/month. The number that decides it for most creators is not on that list, though. It is the seller fee Linktree takes from each sale on the lower tiers, which is why the cheapest plan is often the most expensive one to actually sell on.

Linktree pricing at a glance
- Free: $0/month. Unlimited links, core appearance options, basic analytics. Seller fee applies to any sales.
- Starter: $8/month, or $6/month billed annually. Expanded appearance controls, link scheduling, more icons.
- Pro: $15/month, or $12/month billed annually. Advanced analytics, priority links, monetisation tools, SEO controls. 7-day free trial.
- Premium: around $35/month. Full analytics, commerce, marketing integrations, priority support, and removable Linktree branding.
Annual billing saves roughly 20 to 25% on Starter and Pro. Linktree changes tier names and feature boundaries fairly often, so treat this as the August 2026 shape of the pricing and confirm on linktr.ee/s/pricing before you pay.
What each Linktree plan actually unlocks
Free is genuinely usable and does not expire. Unlimited links, the standard theme library, and total click and view counts. For a creator routing traffic to a shop, a channel, or other socials, this is the whole job and there is no reason to pay.
Starter buys cosmetics and timing: more appearance control, more icons, and link scheduling so a drop can go live at a set time. Useful if you run launches. Not transformative otherwise.
Pro is the tier most serious creators land on. Advanced analytics, priority links, SEO controls, monetisation tools, and a reduced seller fee. If you sell anything at all, this is where the maths usually starts favouring paying.
Premium targets businesses and teams: full analytics, deeper commerce, marketing integrations, priority support, and the ability to remove Linktree branding entirely. At around $35 a month it is priced against business tooling rather than creator tooling.
The seller fee most comparisons skip
Linktree takes a percentage of each sale you make through the page, on top of the normal Stripe or PayPal processing fee. That percentage falls as you move up the tiers, which produces the counterintuitive result that the free plan is the most expensive place to sell.
Published figures for the lower-tier fee vary between roughly 9% and 12% depending on the source and the date, and Linktree does not display it as prominently as the subscription prices. Check the current number on your own account before you build a business on it, because it moves.
Run it against your own volume. At a 9% cut, $500 of monthly sales costs you $45 in fees, which is already more than Pro. At $2,000 a month it is $180, more than a full year of Pro billed annually. The crossover where upgrading becomes cheaper than staying free typically arrives somewhere between $150 and $300 in monthly sales, which is far earlier than most creators expect.
Is Linktree Pro worth it?
Yes, in two situations. If you sell through the page, the reduced seller fee pays for the subscription quickly at even modest volume. And if you post across several platforms, the advanced analytics tell you which one is producing buyers, which the free plan's single click total cannot.
No, if your bio link only routes traffic to things you host elsewhere. The free plan does that identically, and $180 a year buys nothing you will notice.
How Linktree pricing compares
Against the rest of the category, Linktree sits mid-market. Carrd is far cheaper at $19 a year but has no native checkout. Milkshake undercuts it at $2.99 to $8.33 a month. Stan is more expensive at around $29 a month flat, but takes no percentage, which makes it cheaper than Linktree once you are selling four figures monthly. Bitly gates its bio page behind a $29/month plan. Later bundles one into a $25/month scheduler.
Elev8or Bio takes the other approach: free, with product blocks, checkout, email capture, and bookings included, and no platform percentage on sales beyond standard payment processing. That removes the crossover calculation entirely, which is the main reason creators selling regularly move off percentage-based tools.

How to pick your Linktree plan
- Routing traffic only, no sales: stay on Free. Genuinely.
- Running timed launches and want the page to match your brand: Starter, and pay annually.
- Selling anything at all: Pro, because the reduced seller fee covers the cost fast.
- Selling over roughly $500 a month: price a flat-fee or zero-percentage tool against Pro, because the percentage is now your largest line item.
- A business that needs branding removed and priority support: Premium.
