Linktree alternative for shops, cafés and freelancers
Linktree is the default link-in-bio tool and it is genuinely good. UrlsTree does the same job for small businesses — with unlimited free links, a built-in URL shortener, native bookings, your own domain and no cut of what you sell.

Where Linktree is better
- The most integrations of any link-in-bio tool (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Zapier, Google Sheets, Meta/TikTok pixels) on paid plans.
- Instagram DM and comment automation on Pro and above.
- A large marketplace of third-party "Link Apps" and a mature, familiar editor.
Where UrlsTree is different
- Free tier: UrlsTree gives unlimited links, 86 themes, views + click analytics, unique visitors and a device breakdown, QR codes and an unlimited URL shortener. Linktree’s free plan is basic links with basic analytics.
- Selling: UrlsTree takes 0 % on products and tips at every tier because it links to your own checkout or, in Thailand, takes PromptPay straight to you. Linktree charges a seller fee (12 % on Free, 9 % on Starter and Pro, 0 % only on Premium).
- Custom domain: included in UrlsTree Pro ($5/month) with automatic HTTPS. Linktree’s help centre says it does not offer a custom domain in place of the linktr.ee address.
- Bookings: UrlsTree has native appointment booking (services, hours, time-zone-aware slots, calendar invites, reminders, Google Calendar sync) inside Pro. Linktree links out to Calendly and similar.
- AI: UrlsTree ships an MCP server so Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can manage your page. Linktree has none we could find.
Pick Linktree if…
You depend on Mailchimp/Klaviyo/Zapier integrations or Instagram DM automation, or you want the biggest ecosystem.
Pick UrlsTree if…
You run a shop, café, salon or freelance practice; you want bookings and a shortener on the same page; you sell and don’t want to pay a percentage; you want your page on your own domain.
Questions
- Is UrlsTree free like Linktree?
- Yes — and the free plan is bigger: unlimited links, 86 themes, analytics with unique visitors and device breakdown, QR codes, and an unlimited URL shortener. Pro ($5/month) adds a custom domain, bookings, email capture and deeper analytics.
- Can I move my links from Linktree?
- Yes — recreate them on UrlsTree (there is no import tool yet), then point your bio at your new page. Nothing about switching is permanent.
- Does UrlsTree take a cut of sales like Linktree?
- No. Product and tip blocks link to your own checkout (Stripe, Gumroad, PayPal…), or in Thailand a product sells by PromptPay on your page, straight to you. UrlsTree never touches the payment, so there is no percentage.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes, on UrlsTree Pro: connect a domain such as links.yourshop.com and HTTPS is set up automatically; it also serves your booking page and short links. Linktree’s help centre says it does not offer custom domains.
