The 10 best Linktree alternatives in 2026

1. 1.ByteSellOur pick

   For a creator whose bio link now points at real revenue, this removes the percentage entirely rather than moving it down a step. Subscriptions here actually gate access, opening Discord or Telegram on payment and closing it when the payment stops. The free plan is small on storage, so read the caps.

   Pros

   • No percentage of any sale on any plan, so nothing is deducted before a payout
   • Discord and Telegram access opens on payment and closes when the subscription lapses
   • Card sales land in your own Stripe or PayPal, and crypto settles to your own wallet
   • Coupons, upsells, affiliates and unlimited team seats are on the free plan

   Cons

   • Free is capped at 500 MB of storage with a 50 MB limit on any single file
   • A custom domain and a storefront without ByteSell branding need Pro at $29 a month
   • Analytics on the free plan keep seven days of history and 10,000 events a month
   • No marketplace exists here, so the audience you bring is the audience that buys

   Linktree would take, in a year

   $3,600and ByteSell would take none of it

   On a $50 product selling 50 times a month, at 12%. ByteSell is 0% on every plan including the free one, and the buyer pays your own Stripe, PayPal or wallet, so nothing is held in the middle.

   Free plan, no card, keep every cent of every sale.

2. 2.Stan Store

   Built for the same reader as your Linktree, an audience arriving from social and buying from a phone, except selling is the point of the product rather than an addition to it. Nothing is taken per sale on either plan, and the price of entry is $29 a month with no free tier.

   Pros

   • Nothing per sale on the $29 Creator plan or the $99 Creator Pro plan
   • Booking, courses, subscriptions and community are all included at the entry price
   • Stan publishes a country by country fee schedule, which is unusually complete disclosure
   • Money settles to a connected Stripe or PayPal instead of a balance Stan holds

   Cons

   • A fourteen day trial is the only free route, and there is no free plan behind it
   • Discount codes, upsells, funnels, affiliates and email marketing require the $99 tier
   • Stan’s default Stripe path creates a Custom account it manages, not one you already own
   • No built-in embed exists, so the store cannot sit inside a website of your own

3. 3.Payhip

   The gentlest landing if you want the tax work to stay with somebody else, since Payhip remits US sales tax and handles EU VAT. Its free plan takes 5%, which is well under the 12% you are on, and reaching zero means moving up to the $99 Pro plan.

   Pros

   • The free plan charges 5%, seven points below Linktree’s free rate
   • Payhip acts as a US marketplace facilitator and handles EU VAT for European buyers
   • No capability is withheld by tier, so the free plan is the whole product
   • Thirteen processors are supported, including several that reach markets Stripe does not

   Cons

   • Zero percent arrives only at $99 a month, and the $29 Plus plan still takes 2%
   • In practice a seller connects PayPal plus one other processor, not all thirteen
   • There is no published annual price, so committing for a year saves nothing

4. 4.Ko-fi

   The nearest thing to keeping a single creator page rather than opening a shop, with tips, memberships and products on one address and nothing owed monthly. It keeps 5% of a shop sale, and tips cost the same 5% unless Contributor mode is switched off.

   Pros

   • Five percent on shop sales and memberships, against 12% where you are now
   • No monthly cost at all, and no payout minimum standing between you and the money
   • Funds move into your own PayPal or Stripe the moment someone pays
   • Your supporter email list downloads whenever you want it

   Cons

   • Contributor mode is the default for new creators and applies 5% to one-off tips
   • Custom domains are not offered, so the page address stays on Ko-fi
   • Removing the fee costs $12 a month for Gold, which Ko-fi’s own page discourages
   • Ko-fi is not the merchant of record, so tax, refunds and disputes stay with you

5. 5.Sellfy

   A hosted storefront with print on demand attached and no cut of any order on any plan, which is a clean answer to a percentage deducted before you see it. The limit is drawn on annual revenue instead, at $10,000 on the $39 Starter tier and measured on a rolling year.

   Pros

   • Every plan charges 0% per order, with nothing deducted ahead of a payout
   • Merchandise is printed and shipped from the same store that sells the files
   • Sales settle immediately into a Stripe or PayPal account in your name
   • Starter accepts product files up to 10 GB and sets no limit on product count

   Cons

   • Annual revenue is capped by plan, from $10,000 on Starter at $39 a month
   • Once past the cap, 2% applies to every order until the account upgrades
   • Checkout is disabled throughout the fourteen day trial, so nothing sells during it
   • Affiliates need the $79 Business plan, and only Stripe and PayPal are supported

6. 6.Beacons

   The obvious sideways move within this category, with email marketing and an AI media kit that Linktree has no equivalent for. Its fee ladder is better than yours but not by much: 9% on the free plan and on the $10 Creator plan, reaching zero at $30 a month.

   Pros

   • A free plan that permits unlimited digital products with no monthly charge
   • Email marketing, an AI media kit and brand outreach tools have no counterpart on Linktree
   • Funds transfer directly into the Stripe or PayPal account you connect
   • The 0% rate is reachable at $30 a month on Creator Plus

   Cons

   • Nine percent applies on the Free plan and again on the $10 Creator plan
   • Memberships are restricted to the $30 Creator Plus plan and above
   • Removing the Beacons logo also waits for that same $30 tier
   • Email sends are metered at 50 a month on Free and 500 on Creator

7. 7.Podia

   Sensible if the products behind your links have become courses. Podia puts lessons, a paid community and email marketing on one bill and asks for no card during a thirty day trial. Mover, the cheapest plan at $49 a month, still deducts 5% from each order.

   Pros

   • One subscription covers lessons, a paid community and email campaigns
   • The trial lasts thirty days and never asks for a card
   • Neither Shaker at $99 nor Earthquaker at $179 takes a share of a sale
   • Sales run through your own connected processor rather than a Podia account

   Cons

   • The $49 Mover plan deducts 5% from every sale, annual billing included
   • PayPal is unavailable on Mover and supported only on the two plans above it
   • The email allowance on Mover is 100 contacts, with 10,000 costing $70 more
   • Sellers in five listed countries cannot have Podia collect its fee through Stripe

8. 8.Gumroad

   Free to open and widely recognised by buyers, with its own marketplace attached. On rate it beats your free plan by two points at 10% plus 50 cents, and the money then waits seven days in a Gumroad balance that will not pay out below $100.

   Pros

   • Opening a store costs nothing monthly, so idle months cost nothing at all
   • Its marketplace can put a product in front of buyers who never followed you
   • As merchant of record it works out and remits sales tax wherever you sell
   • The customer list is visible in the dashboard and exports as a CSV

   Cons

   • Every sale costs 10% plus 50 cents, with no volume tier that lowers it
   • Sales that arrive through the Gumroad marketplace cost a flat 30% instead
   • Money sits in a Gumroad balance for seven days before it can move
   • The balance must reach $100 before any payout is sent, and some countries ask more

9. 9.Whop

   The place to look if what your community links point at should have been paid all along, because access here is sold rather than linked to. There is no monthly plan, and the trade is a fee page listing thirteen transaction charges plus a reserve clause in the seller terms.

   Pros

   • Buyers browse Whop itself, which no storefront can replicate on demand
   • There is nothing to pay monthly, since every charge is per transaction
   • Under its collect and remit tax mode Whop handles the tax remittance
   • Buyers can spread a purchase over instalments through Whop’s financing partners

   Cons

   • Its fee documentation itemises thirteen transaction charges on top of the card rate
   • Collecting tax adds 2% per transaction in addition to all other applicable fees
   • Payouts are charged again, from $2.50 by ACH up to 5% plus $1 in crypto
   • The seller terms permit reserves of up to 100% of funds for up to 180 days

10. 10.Patreon

    Recurring support as the whole business rather than a button among others, with Discord roles handed out on payment and taken back when a pledge ends. Patreon becomes the merchant, takes 10% with its own payment fee on top, and pays out from the fifth of each month.

    Pros

    • Membership tiers with automatic Discord role grants and removals, well documented
    • Nothing monthly to pay, as Patreon charges a percentage rather than a subscription
    • Being merchant of record, Patreon carries the tax and dispute handling
    • The same page can sell one-time purchases beside the recurring tiers

    Cons

    • The platform fee is 10%, and a Patreon payment fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents follows it
    • There is no bringing your own processor, because Patreon receives the payment
    • Payouts begin on the fifth of the month and take one to five days to land
    • Cross-currency pledges add 2.5%, and non-US PayPal raises the payment fee to 3.9%

Every price above is computed from that platform's own published rates on its entry plan, which is the plan almost everyone is actually on. Where a charge applies only in certain cases, an international card or a payout, the row says so rather than adding it to the headline rate.
