comparison
bb.bi vs Linktree
Linktree popularized the link-in-bio. bb.bi goes further — full pages, a blog, media hosting, and more. at a fraction of the price.
why people look for Linktree alternatives
Linktree is the most recognizable link-in-bio tool on the planet. it lets you create a simple page with a list of clickable links — perfect for Instagram bios, TikTok profiles, and anywhere you need one URL to rule them all. it's fast to set up, it works, and millions of people use it.
but Linktree is, fundamentally, a link list. if you want subpages, a blog, image hosting, a contact form, or real SEO control — you'll hit its limits fast. that's where bb.bi comes in. bb.bi is a full personal website platform that starts free, costs $9.99/yr for pro features, and gives you everything Linktree does plus a lot more.
pricing comparison
Linktree's paid plans are billed monthly. bb.bi's are billed annually — and they're still cheaper.

feature-by-feature breakdown
Linktree excels at one thing: a clean list of links. bb.bi does that too — and then keeps going.
subpages.
bb.bi lets you create full pages with Markdown or raw HTML (with Tailwind CSS, inline styles, and event handlers). use them for an about page, a portfolio, a menu, a resume — anything. subpages require Pro ($9.99/yr) or higher. Linktree has no equivalent.
blog.
bb.bi includes a blog with posts, categories, tags, and RSS — free on every plan. Linktree has no blogging feature.
media library.
bb.bi gives you CDN-backed image hosting. upload photos, artwork, product shots — and embed them anywhere on your pages. Linktree doesn't host media.
contact forms.
bb.bi has built-in contact forms so visitors can reach you without exposing your email. Linktree requires third-party integrations.
guestbook.
bb.bi includes a guestbook where visitors can leave public messages. a simple, personal touch that Linktree doesn't offer.
visitor counter.
a retro-style visitor counter that's free on all plans. Linktree has analytics dashboards, but no public-facing counter.
SEO control.
bb.bi gives you full meta title, description, and Open Graph control for every page. Linktree's SEO options are limited.
HTML pages.
every bb.bi plan — including free — lets you write raw HTML pages with Tailwind CSS, inline styles, and event handlers. full creative control without restrictions.
AI page builder.
bb.bi includes an AI page builder that generates full HTML pages from a text description. Free users get 15 credits/yr, Pro gets 500, Max gets 2,000, and Business gets 5,000. no coding skills needed — describe what you want and the AI builds it. Linktree has no equivalent.
custom domain.
Linktree supports custom domains on its paid plans. bb.bi has custom domain support on its roadmap — coming soon for Max+ plans. in the meantime, Pro users get a clean subdomain (handle.bb.bi), while free users use bb.bi/handle.
which one is right for you?
choose Linktree if
you need a quick link list and nothing more. if your social media bio just needs five or six links and you want to set it up in two minutes, Linktree is great at that. its app marketplace also has integrations for music embeds, video, and commerce.
choose bb.bi if
you want more than links. if you need subpages, a blog, image hosting, contact forms, or you simply want a personal website that does everything — bb.bi gives you all of it for $9.99/yr. it's the better choice for creators, freelancers, small businesses, and anyone who's outgrown a link list.
the verdict
Linktree is a fine product for what it does. it's fast, it's recognizable, and its free tier is generous for basic link lists. we respect what they've built — they defined the category.
but if you've ever thought "I wish my Linktree could do more," bb.bi is the answer. full pages, a blog, media hosting, contact forms, a guestbook, and real SEO — all from $9.99 a year. not $9.99 a month. a year. that's the difference.

how much does bb.bi cost compared to Linktree?
bb.bi Pro costs $9.99/yr. Linktree's cheapest paid plan (Starter) costs $5/mo, which is $60/yr. bb.bi Pro includes features — like subpages, media hosting, and contact forms — that Linktree doesn't offer at any price.
