Linklay vs Linktree

Choose Linklay if you want measurement without paying: live analytics plus Meta, TikTok and Google retargeting pixels are documented on its free plan, and a custom domain is available on its $9.99/month Pro tier. Choose Linktree if you want to sell from the page itself, since Digital Products and Courses are documented through Linktree Earn. One correction worth knowing before you decide: Linktree states it does not offer a custom domain on any plan.

Choose Linklay if

Choose Linklay when you run ads or care about attribution and do not want a paid tier to see your own traffic. Its free plan documents live analytics, email capture, QR codes, scheduled links and all three major ad pixels, and its profile pages return crawlable, profile-specific HTML with structured data. If you also want your page on your own domain, Pro at $9.99/month supports one — which Linktree does not at any price.

Choose Linktree if

Choose Linktree when you need checkout inside the page. Digital Products and Courses sell through Stripe, a transaction fee plus processing applies, and Linklay states it does not process creator payments at all. Linktree is also the safer default when audience familiarity matters, and it publishes iOS and Android apps plus free QR codes on every tier.

Limitations of this comparison

Linktree does not publish its current tier prices in a fixed figure, so the cost of moving measurement onto Pro or Premium is not something we can state. Linklay publishes no analytics retention window and no UTM handling, and we could not confirm an Android app.
