These two tools look similar from the outside, since both give you one link for your bio. Underneath, they're built for different people.
Link.me describes itself as a creator economy platform: sell digital products and merch, put content behind a paywall, collect tips, run email marketing, build courses. LinkPre is a professional profile page: your work, your story, your links and a way to be booked.
We make LinkPre, so we're biased, and we'll flag where Link.me may be the better fit.
What Link.me is, in its own words
Link.me's homepage highlights a 7-day free trial, mobile and web apps, real-time analytics and a set of monetization tools. It also mentions a paid "Linkme+" tier. Its public pages don't spell out prices or which features are free, so we haven't put numbers on it. Check link.me for current plans.
