Linktree is the name everyone knows. It's the tool most people mean when they say "link in bio." So why would you look at anything else?
Usually it's one of three reasons: the price went up, the page looks like every other Linktree, or you want your link to show more than a stack of buttons. If any of those sound familiar, this comparison is for you.
We build LinkPre, so we're not neutral. We'll tell you where Linktree is the better pick, and we'll mark anything we couldn't verify.
The short version
LinkPre Pro per month (₹49 in India)
LinkPre plan, no card needed
Linktree offers Free, Starter, Pro and Premium
Price: where the gap is biggest
Linktree sells four tiers: Free, Starter, Pro and Premium. Its own pricing page says prices vary by region and change often, so check linktr.ee/s/pricing for today's number. Third-party reviews reported that Linktree Pro went up from $9 to $15 a month in late 2025.
LinkPre has two plans. Free is free forever. Pro is $1 a month or $9.99 a year, and in India it's ₹49 a month or ₹499 a year. That's not a typo, and it's not a trial price.

The real difference: buttons or a profile
Linktree's model is simple and it works. You add links, each one becomes a button, visitors tap.
LinkPre treats your page more like a tiny website. There's room for a short bio, your best projects, work history, skills, certifications, testimonials and a booking calendar, alongside your links. A recruiter, a client or a new follower gets the whole picture in one scroll.
- Step 1Sees your bio link
- Step 2Lands on the page
- Step 3Scans for the one thing they need
- Step 4Decides in seconds
If your goal is "send people to my newest video," a button is perfect. If your goal is "make a stranger trust me enough to hire or book me," you need more than buttons.
Who should pick which
Pick LinkPre if…
- You're a freelancer, student, consultant or small business who wants to show work, not just point to it.
- Price matters, and $1 or ₹49 a month sounds a lot better than $15.
- You want projects, experience, testimonials and bookings on the same page.
Pick the other tool if…
- You need Linktree's large ecosystem of integrations and marketing tools.
- Your team already runs on Linktree and switching costs more than it saves.
- You want the most established brand and the biggest support library.
What LinkPre doesn't do yet
We'd rather you hear it from us. LinkPre doesn't have built-in email marketing, and a few things are still on the roadmap: an AI profile assistant, custom forms and Instagram and Facebook automation. They're listed as "coming soon" and they're not live today.
