Why switch

Why creators leave Linktree

01

Your links actually open correctly

When someone taps a Linktree link from Instagram, it opens inside the in-app browser. That means slow loads, broken checkouts, and lost sales. Links bypasses the webview entirely. Your fans land on the real page, every time.

02

Your account stays safe

Linktree doesn't protect you from crawlers that scan your bio link. Some of those crawlers trigger Instagram's spam detection. Links has built-in shield protection that blocks suspicious requests before they reach your page.

03

You keep your analytics for free

Linktree locks detailed analytics behind a $9/month paywall. Links gives you full click tracking, device breakdown, and traffic sources on the free plan. You see exactly what your audience does without paying extra.

04

No watermark, no upsells

Free Linktree pages show a Linktree logo at the bottom and constantly push you to upgrade. Your Links page is clean. No branding, no upgrade banners. It looks like your page, not an ad for someone else's product.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Links gives you unlimited links, smart deep links, shield protection, and full analytics on the free plan. Linktree's free plan is more limited. You need their $9/month Starter plan for basic analytics and their $24/month Pro plan for things like custom domains.

Yes. The switch takes about 2 minutes. Create a free Links account and copy your URLs from Linktree. There's no import tool, but most creators only have 5-10 links, so it's quick. Once your Links page is ready, update your Instagram bio with your new URL. You can keep both pages live during the transition to test which one converts better. There's no downtime and no commitment.

When someone taps your bio link from Instagram, the link normally opens in Instagram's built-in browser. This breaks many websites, slows down load times, and kills conversions. Smart deep links detect this and open the real browser instead. Your fans get the full experience.

Yes. Links was built specifically for Instagram creators who need their bio link to actually work. Instagram's built-in browser breaks most websites, which is why your Shopify checkout or Gumroad page fails to load properly. The smart deep link feature detects when someone taps from Instagram and bypasses the broken webview. Your fans land on the real page in their actual browser where everything works. This is the biggest problem Instagram creators face, and Links fixes it automatically.

Shield protection blocks crawlers and bots that scan your bio link. Some of these bots can trigger Instagram's automated spam detection, which can lead to reduced reach or account restrictions. Shield keeps your account safe by filtering out risky traffic.

Testimonials
I used Linktree for three years. When I switched to Links, my click-through rate doubled in the first week. Turns out the webview was killing my conversions and I didn't even know.

Linktree was charging me $9/month for analytics I get free with Links. The deep links are a bonus I didn't know I needed. My Teachable checkout actually works from Instagram now.
