Linktree
The original link-in-bio tool, and still the default for most people.
What Linktree actually is
Linktree defined the category and is still the safest default: it is stable, everybody recognises the URL, and the free tier genuinely works for a simple list of links. What you are paying for on the upper tiers is customisation and commerce — the design controls, the analytics depth and the integrations all sit behind the paywall.
Strengths
- Enormous brand recognition — audiences know what a Linktree link is
- Very large integration library (Spotify, Shopify, Mailchimp, Cameo and many more)
- Mature commerce, tipping and email/SMS capture on paid plans
- Custom domains on the top tier
- Link scheduling and prioritisation on paid plans
Limitations
- Free pages are a vertical list of text buttons with no visual preview of your content
- Theme and colour customisation is largely a paid feature
- Linktree branding stays on free pages
- No built-in publishing to your social accounts at any tier
What Linktree does better than eltree
eltree is our product, so this section exists to keep the page honest.
- Custom domains — eltree has none, your page is always eltree.app/yourname
- Email and SMS subscriber capture built in; eltree has no capture form at all
- Link scheduling, which eltree does not offer
- A far bigger third-party integration catalogue
- Brand recognition: a Linktree URL needs no explanation to an audience
Where eltree is the better choice
eltree shows your actual content as a grid of thumbnails rather than a list of button labels, and gives away the design controls — themes, 30+ fonts, custom colours — that Linktree charges for.
Pick Linktree if you need a custom domain, built-in email capture, or the reassurance of the most recognised name in the category.
Pick eltree if you want your page to look like a portfolio rather than a menu, and you would rather not pay for themes and colours.
