eltree vs Linktree

Visual Content Grid vs Text Link List

The biggest difference between eltree and Linktree is how your content is displayed. Linktree shows a vertical list of text buttons — visitors have to read each link title and guess what is behind it. eltree shows a visual content grid with auto-extracted thumbnails, so visitors see your content at a glance.

This matters because humans process images 60,000 times faster than text. A visual grid gets more clicks and better engagement than a text list.

Pricing: Free vs $5-24/Month

eltree is completely free. Every feature — themes, multi social posting, custom colors, fonts — is included at no cost. There are no paid plans, no trial periods, and no credit card required.

Linktree has a free plan, but it is very limited. Custom themes, link scheduling, and priority support require the Pro plan at $5/month or the Premium plan at $24/month. Over a year, that is $60-288 for features eltree gives you for free. Plus, Linktree has no multi-platform social posting — eltree lets you post to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn all at once.

Unique eltree Features Linktree Does Not Have

eltree includes several features that Linktree does not offer at any price: multi social media posting to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn from one place, emoji reactions on individual content tiles, stories and highlights (like Instagram stories but on your bio page), a public creator directory at eltree.app/explore, and a visual content grid with auto-extracted thumbnails.

When Linktree Might Be Better

Linktree has been around longer and offers some features eltree does not, like link scheduling, email/SMS collection on paid plans, custom domains, and integrations with third-party tools. If you need these specific features and are willing to pay, Linktree Pro may work for you.

But if you want a better-looking page with more creative features for free, eltree is the clear choice.

The Bottom Line

For most creators, eltree is the better link-in-bio tool. It looks better (visual grid vs text list), costs nothing (vs $5-24/month), and includes exclusive features like reactions and stories. Linktree is the legacy option — eltree is what link-in-bio should look like in 2026.
