On 28 October 2026, ChatGPT recommended Linktree and Carrd, with Linktree as its top pick; Claude recommended Carrd; Gemini named no brand; Perplexity recommended Linktree and Beacons, with Linktree as its top pick. No brand was recommended by all four.

Asked once of each AI on 28 October 2026, with its own web search on and no location sent. Answers are shown verbatim. How we read them: one grand master model marked each brand, and a brand counts only if its name is in the answer word for word. The method.

Linktree is probably the easiest choice for someone who isn’t technical. It gives you a simple page for all your links: create an account, add your links, pick a look, then copy the page address into your social-media bio. Its free plan includes unlimited links. (linktr.ee)

Keep it simple: add just a few links—like your website, contact info, and latest work—and put the most important one first. You don’t need to buy a plan to get started.

If you want a more custom-looking mini-website, Carrd is another option, but it has more design choices to work through. (carrd.com)

Claude

For someone non-technical, I'd start with Linktree. It's the most common choice, and the free plan covers a simple list of links.

  • Why Linktree: One source says a functional creator page could be built in minutes using the drag-and-drop editor, without needing any design experience. Its free plan is basic, though. Many creators switch to other options for better customization and analytics.
  • If you want the easiest setup: Try Lnk.Bio. One reviewer says it's one of the only tools I've tried that lets you log in via Instagram so you don't even have to create an account to get started.
  • If you want a bit more design freedom: Carrd lets you build a custom one-page site instead of just a basic link list. It's more flexible, but it has a slightly steeper learning curve.
  • Avoid for now: Tools aimed at marketers, such as Pallyy. One review calls it not as beginner-friendly (complex and difficult to use).

Simple setup steps (general, not from the sources):

  1. Sign up with the tool and pick a template.
  2. Add a name, a short photo, and a one-line bio.
  3. Add one button per link: your main page first, then social or contact links.
  4. Copy the page's web address and paste it into your Instagram or TikTok bio.
  5. Open the link on your phone to check it works.

Keep it to five or fewer links so it's easy to scan. If you tell me the platform (Instagram, TikTok, etc.) and what the link should lead to (a shop, portfolio, booking page), I can suggest a more specific setup.

Creating a "link in bio" page is very straightforward, even if you have zero technical experience. These tools are designed specifically for people who just want a simple, clean way to share multiple links from one place.

Here is the simplest way to get started.

1. Recommended "Easy" Tools

All of these options offer free plans, require no coding, and can be set up in about 5–10 minutes:

  • Linktree: The most popular and well-known option. It is very user-friendly with a simple, vertical list of buttons that people are already used to clicking.
  • Bio.site (by Squarespace): Excellent if you want something that looks very clean, professional, and visually polished without much effort. It is great for personal brands, designers, or consultants.
  • Milkshake: Unique because it is built to be managed entirely from your phone. It creates a "swipeable" card-style site that feels like an Instagram Story.
  • Lnk.Bio: Very straightforward and popular for its simplicity. It is widely used and offers a very easy, no-fuss interface.
2. How to Set It Up (Step-by-Step)

You do not need to build a website; you just need to fill out a form.

  1. Sign Up: Go to one of the websites above (e.g., Linktree) and create an account. You can usually sign up using your existing Google or social media account.
  2. Pick a Username: Try to use the same username you have on your social media profiles so people recognize it.
  3. Add Your Links: Copy the web address (URL) of your shop, your YouTube channel, your portfolio, or your newsletter. Paste these into the "Add Link" section of your chosen tool.
  4. Customize: Choose a simple theme or background color. Most tools offer templates so you don't have to design anything from scratch.
  5. Get Your Link: The tool will give you one master URL (e.g., linktr.ee/yourname).
  6. Add to Your Bio: Go to your Instagram, TikTok, or other social profiles, click "Edit Profile," and paste your new master URL into the "Website" or "Link" field.
Pro-Tips for Non-Tech Users
  • Keep it brief: You don't need to list everything you've ever done. Only include the 3–5 most important links so you don't overwhelm your followers.
  • Use your face: Make sure to upload a profile photo to your link-in-bio page so people know they’ve landed in the right place.
  • Don't overthink the design: A simple list of buttons is often better than a complex design because it loads faster and is easier for your followers to use on their phones.

Linktree is probably the easiest place to start if you just want one page with links to your website and social profiles. It has a free plan with unlimited basic links, and you can set it up without coding. 1

Create an account, add your links, choose a simple look, then copy your Linktree URL into your social-media bio. You can change the links later without changing that URL.

If you also want to sell products or collect emails, Beacons has more built-in creator features, though its free plan charges a 9% fee on sales. 2

My pick: Linktree for a straightforward list of links; Beacons if you want selling tools. Prices and plan details can change, so check the service’s pricing page before signing up.
