How much does a link in bio tool cost?

A link-in-bio tool can cost $0 to about $35 per month for a typical individual creator. Many offer free plans; paid plans add features like custom domains, branding removal, analytics, and selling tools.

For example, Linktree ranges from free to $7–$35/month depending on the plan and billing schedule. Beacons has a free plan, with paid plans from $10/month (or less when billed annually). Some creator storefront tools cost more—Stan Store lists plans at $29/month and up. (linktr.ee)

If you just need a page of links, you can likely start free. Check for transaction fees if you plan to sell products. (shop.beacons.dev)

Most link-in-bio tools have a free tier, and paid plans usually run about $5 to $35 a month. Some cheaper options charge around $1 a month or a one-time fee. Prices change often, so check each vendor's pricing page before you pay.

• Free tiers: Linktree's free plan still covers unlimited links, but it includes basic themes, click analytics, email and phone-number collection, and an Instagram auto-reply with 1,000 sends a month. Beacons' free plan adds a media kit and unlimited digital products, with a 9% Beacons seller fee on sales.
• Entry paid plans: Linktree raised its prices in November 2025. One source lists $8/month (Starter), $15/month (Pro), and $35/month (Premium) billed monthly, while another gives $5/month for Starter and $9/month for Pro. The difference likely reflects annual versus monthly billing or older pricing. Beacons' entry paid tier is Creator at $10 a month.
• Budget options: Lnk.Bio's one-time option is $24.99 one time, and its monthly plan is $0.99/mo. Carrd, which is more of a one-page site builder, has a plan starting at $9/year.
• Higher tiers: Beacons' higher plans drop its seller fee to zero. One source notes that Beacons Creator Plus is $30/month with 0% sales fees, and Linktree's comparable plan is Premium at $35/month for 0% fees.
• Agency or enterprise tools: These are priced differently. Some are $15/mo, $29/mo, and $99/mo, with no free plan, and others are custom-quoted.

For most individuals, the free tier is enough to start. Expect to pay around $10 to $35 a month if you need custom domains, analytics, or to sell products without a transaction fee.

The cost of a link-in-bio tool varies significantly depending on your needs, ranging from free to roughly $30 per month for professional creator features.

Because these tools have evolved from simple link lists into full storefronts, the "best" price often depends on whether you are simply routing traffic or actively selling products.

1. The Cost Breakdown

• Free Plans: Many tools (like Linktree, Beacons, and Lnk.Bio) offer robust free plans that are sufficient for basic link routing. These typically include unlimited links but often keep the platform's branding on your page.
• Paid Creator Plans: If you need to remove branding, use a custom domain, or access advanced analytics, most paid tiers range between $6 and $30 per month.
• One-Time Payment Options: Some platforms, such as Lnk.Bio, offer a "lifetime" or one-time payment option (e.g., ~$25) to unlock premium features and remove branding, which can be more cost-effective than a recurring subscription.
• Low-Cost Alternatives: Tools like Carrd operate more like website builders and can cost as little as $9–$19 per year, making them an excellent choice for those who want an affordable, custom-branded page.

2. The "Hidden" Cost: Seller Fees

If you plan to sell digital products, courses, or coaching, the monthly subscription price is only half the story. Many platforms charge a commission or "platform cut" on your sales, which can range from 5% to 12%.

• Free plans often have higher seller fees (e.g., 9%–12%).
• Higher-tier plans often reduce this fee to 0%.
• Calculation Tip: If you sell regularly, a $29/month plan with 0% transaction fees is often cheaper than a "free" plan that takes a 5% or 9% cut of your monthly revenue.

Recommendation: Before committing, determine if you are primarily routing traffic (where free plans work well) or selling products (where you should prioritize a plan with lower or 0% seller fees to save money as your sales grow).

Most link-in-bio tools offer a free plan. Paid plans typically start around $7–$10/month when billed annually, or about $9–$17/month month to month. Higher-tier plans can cost $30–$35/month or more. ¹²
