eltree vs Lnk.Bio
The short answer
Choose eltree if you want an uncapped free page that looks like a portfolio.
Choose Lnk.Bio if you specifically want to pay once and never think about a subscription again.
The one-paragraph version
eltree does not cap how many links you add on the free tier, and builds a visual page rather than a list.
Lnk.Bio competes almost entirely on price. The headline feature is the one-off lifetime payment, which no other tool in this list offers and which genuinely works out cheaper than years of any subscription. The product itself is basic, and the free tier caps how many links you can add.

Where Lnk.Bio wins
This is our site and eltree is our product. Here is the case against us anyway.
- A lifetime one-off payment option, which eltree does not offer
- A cheaper paid tier than eltree Pro, and a $24.99 one-off that never renews
Where eltree wins
- The free tier limits the number of links
- Dated interface next to newer tools
- No content grid or thumbnail extraction
- No reactions, stories, tips or directory
Before you switch to eltree
These gaps apply whichever tool you are coming from.
- Email or SMS capture: There is no built-in subscriber capture form. Link out to your own list instead.
- Link scheduling: Individual links cannot be scheduled to appear or expire on a date.
- Large catalogues: eltree’s own checkout suits a handful of products, downloads or services (up to 100 in the shop) and has no variants or checkout discount codes. For a big catalogue, sell on Shopify or Etsy and add product links to your eltree shop.
- A/B testing: No split testing of layouts or link ordering.
- Posting to social networks: eltree does not publish or schedule posts to Instagram, TikTok, X or other networks. Use a scheduler such as Buffer or Later for that.
- Fee-free monetisation: eltree takes 10% of tips and shop sales on the free plan and 5% on Pro; only the £9.99/month Seller plan takes 0%, and only on shop sales. Taplink and Stan Store take 0% platform commission, though Stan has no free plan.
Questions people ask
Is eltree better than Lnk.Bio?
Not universally. eltree is better if you want an uncapped free page that looks like a portfolio. Lnk.Bio is better if you specifically want to pay once and never think about a subscription again. The largest single difference is layout: eltree builds a visual grid of thumbnails from your links, while Lnk.Bio presents simple list of links.
Is eltree cheaper than Lnk.Bio?
The eltree page itself is free with no watermark. Lnk.Bio paid plans start at mini $0.99/mo, unique $24.99 one-off, ultra $89.99/yr; custom domain add-on $39.99/yr. Tips and the shop are free to switch on, and instant payouts (1% fee) are on every plan. eltree Pro costs £2.99/mo (or £24.99/year) and adds your own domain, a song under your bio, a weekly report, unlimited tiles, links and stories and a 5% fee — the page design is never behind it.
Can I move from Lnk.Bio to eltree?
Yes, manually — there is no automated import. Copy each destination URL from your Lnk.Bio page and paste it into eltree, which pulls the thumbnail and title for you. Then update the single link in your Instagram, TikTok or X bio. Your Lnk.Bio page keeps working until you delete it, so you can run both while you decide.
