Looking for more control, better analytics, and advanced features without breaking the bank? Discover why thousands of creators are ditching Linktree for Sinkto.Link—and saving hundreds per month.

⚡ Quick Takeaway

Linktree charges $24-79/month for features like advanced analytics and team collaboration. Sinkto.Link gives you these essentials—completely free. Currently in beta, all features are available at no cost while we build our community.

The Linktree Problem: Why Creators Are Frustrated

Linktree pioneered the “link in bio” space, but it hasn't kept pace with what modern creators need. As your audience grows, you'll quickly hit these walls:

📊

Limited Analytics

Basic click counts aren't enough to understand your audience

👥

No Team Collaboration

Managing links solo when you have a team

💰

Expensive Premium Tiers

Advanced features locked behind $24+/month paywalls

🔒

No Password Protection

Can't share exclusive content with specific audiences

Why Creators Are Switching to Sinkto.Link

Here's what makes Sinkto.Link the smarter choice for growing creators:

1. 🎯 Powerful Analytics That Actually Help You Grow

Stop guessing what works. While Linktree's free plan only shows basic click counts, Sinkto.Link reveals exactly who is clicking, when, and from where—all at zero cost.

📊 Every click reveals:

Geographic location (country, city)
Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
Referrer sources (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter)
Click timestamps and patterns
UTM parameter tracking for campaign attribution

💰 Value Check: This level of analytics costs $24-99/month on competing platforms. With Sinkto.Link? $0. Forever.

2. 👥 Built-In Team Collaboration (No Per-Seat Fees)

Working with a manager, assistant, or agency? You shouldn't have to pay extra for that. Sinkto.Link includes unlimited team features from day one:

Unlimited team members

No per-seat pricing ever

Role-based permissions

Owner, Admin, or Member access

Shared workspaces

Everyone accesses the same library

Team analytics

Unified performance dashboard

🔥 Linktree charges $79/month for team features. Sinkto.Link? Free forever.

3. 🔒 Password Protection for Exclusive Content

Monetizing through Patreon, memberships, or email subscribers? Gate your premium content with password-protected links—no other free link tool offers this.

Use cases that drive revenue:

  • Share exclusive downloads with Patreon tiers ($5+ tier gets the password)
  • Email-only content for newsletter subscribers (password in email)
  • VIP early access links for your most engaged fans
  • Track exactly who accesses your premium content

💡 Pro tip: This feature alone can help you grow your membership revenueby creating scarcity and exclusivity.

4. 📱 Instant QR Codes for Every Link

Bridge the gap between offline and online. Every shortened link automatically generates a high-quality, downloadable QR code—perfect for:

📄Print materials & business cards
🎫Event check-ins & tickets
📦Product packaging inserts
🎪Posters & booth signage

5. 🏷️ Custom Branded Domains (Coming Soon)

We're building custom domain support so professional creators can use branded links. This feature is in active development and will be available soon.

Instead of:

linktr.ee/yourname

Soon you'll use:

yourname.co/instagram

  • 🚧 In development - coming soon
  • ✅ Use your existing domain or buy a new one
  • ✅ Full DNS setup support will be included
