Linktree Pricing Explained: Every Plan, Fee, and What You Actually Pay (2026)

Linktree pricing has four tiers: a free plan, then Starter, Pro, and Premium in ascending price. The headline number most people look for, the monthly fee, is only half the story. Linktree prices its paid plans in your local currency and adjusts them by region and billing cycle, so there is no single global dollar figure. More importantly, if you sell anything through your page, Linktree also takes a cut of every sale, and that fee is the part most pricing guides skip. This post walks plan by plan through what each tier actually adds, what the sales fee costs you, and whether the upgrade is worth it, as of July 2026.

If you only want to know what the free plan includes, we cover that in detail in Is Linktree free?. This post is about value for money: what you get each time you move up a tier, and where the price stops being worth it.

The four Linktree plans at a glance

Linktree runs on a freemium model. There is a genuine free plan, and above it sit three paid tiers. As of July 2026, rough monthly prices look like this, though the exact figure depends on your region and whether you pay monthly or annually.

• Free. $0, no expiry. Unlimited links, a public page, basic themes, basic analytics, and a "Powered by Linktree" badge.
• Starter. Roughly $5 to $8 a month depending on billing cycle and region. Adds richer customization and drops the sales fee.
• Pro. Roughly $9 to $15 a month. Adds deeper analytics, scheduling, a custom domain, and audience collection tools.
• Premium. Roughly $24 to $35 a month. Removes the sales fee entirely, removes Linktree branding, and adds top-tier tools like SEO controls and API access.

Two things to hold onto before we go tier by tier. First, annual billing is discounted, so the monthly-equivalent price drops if you pay for a year up front. Second, Linktree does not publish a fixed USD price on its own pricing page, because it charges in local currency and changes prices from time to time (it raised paid-plan prices in late 2025). Treat every number here as a range, and check Linktree's pricing page for the current figure in your region before you decide.

The fee most pricing guides miss: Linktree's cut of your sales

Here is the part that surprises people, and the reason a "cheap" plan can quietly cost you the most. If you sell anything directly through Linktree, a digital product, a course, a tip, Linktree takes a percentage of that revenue on top of your monthly plan. The rate depends entirely on which tier you are on:

• Free plan: 12% of every sale.
• Starter and Pro: 9% of every sale.
• Premium: 0%.

That ladder comes straight from Linktree's own help center article on transaction and processing fees, current as of July 2026. It sits on top of standard payment processing (Linktree uses Stripe, which adds its own per-transaction fee), so the 9% or 12% is Linktree's slice specifically.

Run the math and the fee reframes the whole pricing table. Say you sell $1,000 of digital products in a month. On the free plan, Linktree's 12% takes $120 of that, far more than any monthly subscription would have cost. On Premium, the cut is $0, which is a big part of what that top tier is really buying you. If selling is central to what you do, the "free" plan is often the most expensive option you can pick, and the question stops being "which plan is cheapest" and becomes "at what sales volume does a paid plan pay for itself." For a lot of sellers, that crossover comes fast.

If you mostly link out to your own store, your Etsy, or your Shopify rather than checking out on the Linktree page itself, this fee never touches you, and the plan comparison goes back to being about features. Know which situation you are in before you pick a tier.

Free to Starter: what your first upgrade buys

The jump from Free to Starter is mostly about looks and a lower sales fee. Starter unlocks richer customization: custom backgrounds, animations, and finer control over how the page looks, instead of the preset-only themes on the free plan. It also drops the sales fee from 12% to 9%.

Who it is for: creators who care about their page matching their brand and are not yet ready for the full analytics-and-domain toolkit. If you sell a modest amount, the fee drop alone can offset part of the subscription. If you sell nothing and are happy with preset themes, there is little reason to leave free for Starter specifically.

Starter to Pro: the analytics and audience jump

Pro is where Linktree gets serious about data and reach. Moving from Starter to Pro typically adds:

• Deeper analytics. Beyond lifetime click and view totals, you get breakdowns that actually inform decisions, like traffic sources and trends over time.
• A custom domain. Point your own domain at your page instead of a linktr.ee/yourname URL.
• Link scheduling. Set links to appear and disappear on a schedule, useful for launches and time-limited drops.
• Audience collection. Email and SMS capture tools to build a contact list from your page.

The sales fee stays at 9% on Pro, the same as Starter, so Pro is not the tier you buy to lower your cut. You buy it for the analytics and the audience-building tools. Who it is for: creators who act on their numbers and want to turn page visitors into an owned audience they can reach directly.

Pro to Premium: paying to remove the fee and the branding

Premium is the top tier and the most expensive by a wide margin. Two things justify the jump for the right creator:

• 0% sales fee. Only Premium removes Linktree's cut entirely. If you sell enough through the page, this alone can more than cover the higher subscription.
• No Linktree branding. Only Premium lets you remove the "Powered by Linktree" badge from your page, so it reads fully as yours.

Premium also layers on the most advanced tools, typically SEO controls and API access for creators who want to integrate Linktree into other systems. Who it is for: creators selling at real volume, where 0% versus 9% on a few thousand dollars of monthly sales dwarfs the price difference between Pro and Premium, and creators who need a fully unbranded, tightly controlled page.

Is Linktree's pricing worth it?

It depends entirely on what your page does. For a simple list of links, the free plan is genuinely fine and paying anything is hard to justify. For a page that is part of how you sell, the honest calculation is not the monthly price at all, it is the sales fee. A creator moving $2,000 a month in products pays $240 in fees on the free plan's 12% and $0 on Premium, which flips the "expensive" tier into the cheapest one. The tier that is right for you is the one where your fee savings plus the features you will actually use exceed what you pay.

What trips people up is treating Linktree pricing as a flat monthly cost. It is really a monthly cost plus a variable tax on your sales, and the second part moves with your volume. Price it that way and the decision usually gets clearer.

How ByteSize prices this differently

We build ByteSize, a link-in-bio platform, so treat this as the pitch it is, but a straight one. Two structural differences change the math above.

We do not take a cut of your sales. ByteSize links out to your store or merch rather than processing payments on the page, so there is no 9% or 12% commission on what you sell. The sales-fee question that dominates Linktree's pricing simply does not exist here. The trade is that we do not host checkout for you; we send fans to wherever you already sell.

There is one paid tier, not four. ByteSize is free to start (unlimited links, embedded content, and a public page at bytesize.me/yourhandle, with a ByteSize badge), and everything else is Creator Pro at $9/month: analytics (page visits, traffic sources, and locations, at the page level rather than per individual link), priority link placement, deeper customization, and branding removal. No four-step ladder to reason about, and no separate fee skimming your revenue.

We are a smaller, younger tool than Linktree, with a fraction of its brand recognition, so if the most-recognized name is what you want, that is not us yet. If you want predictable pricing and a page that embeds your content instead of only listing it, that is the trade we are built for.

The bottom line

Linktree pricing is four tiers plus a sales fee that most guides leave out. The monthly numbers (roughly $5 to $8 for Starter, $9 to $15 for Pro, $24 to $35 for Premium, all as of July 2026 and varying by region and billing cycle) matter less than the 12% / 9% / 0% fee ladder if you sell through your page. Work out your fee exposure first, then pick the tier where the savings and features outweigh the cost. And if a variable cut of your sales is the part you want to avoid entirely, claim a ByteSize handle and see how a flat-price page looks with your content on it.

FAQ

How much does Linktree cost per month?

As of July 2026, Linktree's free plan is $0, Starter runs roughly $5 to $8 a month, Pro roughly $9 to $15, and Premium roughly $24 to $35, all depending on your region and whether you pay monthly or annually. Linktree charges in local currency and does not publish a fixed global USD price, so check its pricing page for your exact figure. Annual billing is discounted versus paying month to month.

Does Linktree take a percentage of sales?

Yes, and it is the fee most people miss. If you sell directly through your Linktree page, the free plan takes 12% of each sale, Starter and Pro take 9%, and only Premium takes 0%. This is on top of standard payment processing fees. If you only link out to your own store rather than checking out on the page, the cut does not apply.

Is Linktree Pro worth it?

Pro is worth it if you act on analytics and want to build an owned audience. It adds deeper analytics, a custom domain, link scheduling, and email or SMS collection over Starter. It does not lower your sales fee, which stays at 9%, so buy Pro for the data and audience tools, not to reduce your cut. If you sell at high volume, Premium's 0% fee may save you more than Pro costs.

What is the difference between Linktree Pro and Premium?

The two biggest differences are the sales fee and branding. Pro charges a 9% fee on sales and keeps the "Powered by Linktree" badge; Premium charges 0% and lets you remove the badge. Premium also adds the most advanced tools, typically SEO controls and API access. For high-volume sellers, the 0% fee alone can make Premium cheaper in practice than Pro despite the higher monthly price.

Is there a Linktree plan with no sales fee?

Only Premium, Linktree's top tier, removes the sales fee entirely at 0%. Every plan below it takes a cut: 12% on Free, 9% on Starter and Pro. Alternatively, tools that link out to your store instead of processing payments avoid the fee model altogether. ByteSize, for example, takes no commission because it sends fans to wherever you already sell rather than handling checkout.

Is Linktree cheaper than the alternatives?

It depends on how you sell. On subscription price alone, Linktree's paid tiers sit in a similar range to competitors. But its sales fee can make it the more expensive option for creators who sell directly through the page, since that cut scales with your revenue. A single-tier tool with no sales commission, like ByteSize at $9/month, can cost less overall once your sales pass a modest threshold. Compare on total cost, not just the monthly price.
