Why creators leave Tap.bio
One fewer step between fan and click
Tap.bio's card system means fans have to swipe to find what they're looking for. Every extra interaction is a chance for them to leave. Links puts everything on one scrollable page. Fans see all your links immediately.
Your links work from Instagram
Tap.bio doesn't have smart deep links. Your fans are stuck in the Instagram webview where pages break and load slowly. Links bypasses the webview and opens the real browser. Everything works correctly.
Unlimited links for free
Tap.bio's free plan gives you just 1 card. Their paid plans start at $5/month for more cards. Links gives you unlimited links, full analytics, and shield protection on the free plan.
Real analytics, not guesses
Tap.bio locks analytics behind paid plans. Links shows you exactly which links get tapped, what devices your fans use, and where they come from. All free. You make better decisions when you can see the data.
Common questions
It depends on your content. Cards look nice but add friction. Fans have to swipe to find links. A single page with all links visible performs better for most creators because fans can tap what they want immediately.
Tap.bio's free plan gives you 1 card, which is basically useless for most creators. Silver is $5/month for 3 cards. Gold is $12/month for unlimited cards and analytics. That's $60-$144 per year just to have a functional link page. Links gives you unlimited links and full analytics for free. You also get smart deep links and shield protection without paying anything. Zero dollars per year, forever.
Yes. Create a free Links account, add the same URLs you had on your Tap.bio cards, and update your Instagram bio with your new Links URL. Takes about 2 minutes. You can keep both pages live during the transition to compare performance. Most creators find that the single-page layout in Links converts better than Tap.bio's card system because fans don't have to swipe around to find what they need. Everything is visible immediately.
No. Tap.bio doesn't block crawlers or protect your account from suspicious traffic that can trigger Instagram's spam detection. Links has built-in shield protection that filters out bots before they can cause problems. Crawlers scan bio links constantly, and some of them look suspicious to Instagram. Shield protection blocks those risky crawlers automatically, which helps keep your account safe and your reach stable. It's one less thing to worry about.
“Tap.bio's card system looked cool but fans had to swipe through multiple screens to find my booking link. Switched to Links where everything is on one page. My booking link clicks went up 4x.”
