Link in bio page that lets me collect email sign-ups

If you want a link-in-bio page with an email signup built in, I’d look at:

• Beacons — likely the easiest all-in-one option. Add an email signup block, collect addresses in its Audience Manager, and optionally send a welcome email or connect an email platform. (help.beacons.ai)
• Linktree — a straightforward choice if you already use it. You can add a contact form for sign-ups, or turn on its subscriber feature to let visitors subscribe to updates. (linktr.ee)
• Carrd — good if you want a more custom-looking one-page site; signup forms are available with Pro and can connect to email services. (carrd.com)

My quick pick: Beacons for the simplest built-in email collection; Carrd if you want more design control. Check where the emails are stored and whether they sync to your newsletter service before choosing.

Several link-in-bio tools have built-in email capture. The best fit depends on whether you already have an email platform.

Free options

• beehiiv: Every user can make a link-in-bio page for free, and you can add a subscribe form to it. It's a good choice if you're starting a newsletter from scratch. Drop in a subscribe form so people can join your newsletter right from your bio—no extra steps.
• Later: Its link-in-bio signup form is available on the free plan. Emails can be exported as a CSV or sent to Mailchimp. Email collection is available on all current plans, including Free. Check the consent text before you publish, since the default language used for consent text is representative only and may not meet your legal obligations.
• Links.fans: It has an embedded form where visitors enter their name and email directly on the page. Tools like Links.fans offer this feature for free, according to one roundup.

Paid or conditional options

• Linktree: Sources disagree. Some say the free plan includes email collection through contact forms, and others say it doesn't. Pro, at $15/month, is the plan most sources say reliably includes it. Confirm on the pricing page before you rely on the free tier.
• Beacons: One source says its free tier with email collection includes a 9% seller fee. Verify this yourself, since I didn't confirm it on the vendor's site.
• soc.bio: Its signup forms are available on the Starter Plan.
• Flodesk: It offers standalone Link in bio Forms that you can share on their own URL, and you can also include up to six additional links.

My suggestion: If you're starting out, use beehiiv or Later's free tier. If you already use Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or ConvertKit, pick a link tool that integrates with it, so subscribers flow into your existing list. Pricing and free-tier limits change often, so check each vendor's current pricing page before you commit.

Many "link in bio" tools today are designed specifically to help you capture email addresses directly from your profile page. When choosing one, the most important factors are whether the feature is available on the free tier and how easily it syncs with your email marketing platform (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or beehiiv).

Here are the best options for collecting email sign-ups:

Top Recommended Tools

• Linktree: A popular, reliable choice. It includes a "Forms" feature that allows you to collect email addresses and phone numbers directly on your page. It offers strong integrations, allowing you to sync new subscribers automatically to platforms like Mailchimp, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Klaviyo, and beehiiv, or export them to Google Sheets.
• Beacons: Often recommended for creators who want to monetize. It offers built-in email capture and is known for having a generous free tier that includes email collection, though it may cap monthly sends. It is designed to function as a "creator storefront," making it great if you also plan to sell digital products.
• beehiiv: If your primary goal is building a newsletter, beehiiv is a top contender. Because it is a publishing platform first, its link-in-bio tool is built specifically to turn social traffic into newsletter subscribers. You can create a dedicated landing page for your profile that handles the subscription process natively.

Key Considerations for Your Choice

When selecting a tool, consider these three criteria to ensure you are actually "owning" your audience:

1. Automation & Integration: Avoid tools that only let you download a CSV file manually. Look for platforms that offer direct integrations with your email service provider (ESP) so that new subscribers are added to your list instantly.
2. Form Placement: An inline email form (one that appears directly on the page) generally converts better than a link that forces the user to open a new popup or external page.
3. The "Lead Magnet" Strategy: Simply saying "Subscribe to my newsletter" is often less effective than offering something specific in exchange, such as a free guide, checklist, or exclusive discount. Ensure your chosen tool allows you to easily describe or display this offer above the signup form.

Summary Table

If you are just starting out, Linktree and Beacons are often the most straightforward to set up, while beehiiv is the best long-term choice if you intend to focus heavily on a newsletter.

Beacons is a good fit: its link-in-bio page has an email signup block, and new subscribers are saved in its Audience Manager. The free plan includes email signup and 50 email sends per month; paid plans add more email marketing features. ⁴²

If you’d rather send sign-ups straight to an email platform, Later’s Link in Bio supports email collection via Mailchimp or CSV export, including on its free plan. ³

Quick pick: Beacons for an all-in-one creator page; Later if you already use Mailchimp.
