The Best Free Linktree Alternative in 2025

When creators opened Linktree last month, the math changed.

That $0 plan is still there, but the features creators actually need are now locked behind even steeper paywalls after another price hike.

Customization, analytics, and monetization now sit behind Starter, Pro, or Premium tiers, starting at $6 and climbing to $35 per month.

So the real question is: why pay even more for what should be free?

Meet Chirp, the link-in-bio platform built for creators, not subscriptions.

The familiar option isn’t always the fair one

For years, Linktree felt like the obvious choice. It was easy, recognizable, and safe. But lately, that familiarity has started to feel expensive.

Creators who once built their digital homes there are now greeted with upgrade prompts, locked features, and new fees for basics like analytics, design control, and product links.

Do feature-rich tools have to be expensive?

No. Chirp is $0—forever.

Linktree now calls its $6 plan “Starter” and its $35 plan “Premium.” But let’s be honest, these are access passes to features creators already relied on and should have already been free.

At Chirp, there’s no bait-and-switch. You get everything, customization, analytics, monetization, even link scheduling, without paying a cent.

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one. No upsells. No hidden limits. No “try Pro free for 7 days.”

The irony? Linktree’s higher prices don’t even buy more creative freedom. Most of what creators actually want like style, control, brand identity, and the ability to affiliate link with ease is still locked behind paid tiers.

Design freedom without upgrading

Across Reddit and creator forums, one complaint keeps surfacing:

“I just want to change my fonts and backgrounds without upgrading.”

That’s exactly where Chirp shines. Look premium on a $0 budget:

• Full control of colors, fonts, and layouts
• Custom backgrounds, gradients, and buttons
• Clean, minimalist, or bold templates. All free

Your bio page should look like your brand, not like everyone else’s.

It’s one thing to look good online. It’s another to know which links are making you money and why. Chirp helps you do both.

Know what pays

Creators track everything. But Linktree hides analytics behind its $12+ “Pro” plan.

Chirp gives you insights upfront:

• Top-performing links
• Click-through rates
• Audience sources and devices

See what performs, kill what doesn’t. You don’t need a subscription to understand your own audience.

Sell without the paywall

Creators deserve to earn without extra fees or fine print. With Linktree, digital product sales include seller fees and tier restrictions.

With Chirp, monetization is automatic and transparent. Sell smarter with:

• Built-in ad monetization and affiliate linking with ease
• Product and storefront blocks
• Zero setup or seller fees
• Instant activation (no application or “Pro” plan needed)

If you’re paying to sell, you’re overpaying.

Switch fast, save instantly

It takes less than a minute to import your entire Linktree. When you get started with Chirp, you’ll see three options: Start Fresh, Build with AI, or Import Linktree.

The last one is your shortcut.

Click Import Linktree, connect your account, and your entire setup, every link, every layout choice, comes with you automatically. No copying and pasting. No downtime. No learning curve.

Your followers will notice the difference because your Chirp page looks sharper, loads faster, and feels more premium.

Creators deserve better than subscription traps

The creator economy isn’t about paying more to participate. It’s about building freely, fairly, and sustainably. Access should never depend on income. That’s why there are no paid tiers. Just one platform for every creator.

Free doesn’t mean limited. It means liberated. 

Creators are switching because they’re tired of being charged for the basics. Linktree’s rising costs, locked features, and hidden fees have pushed creators to find something fairer. 

Chirp offers everything they need in one place: a customizable page, built-in analytics, automatic monetization, and a fast import tool. All of it free forever.
