Linktree Pro alternatives: 3 free & open-source picks
Compare recorded free and open-source options, their capabilities and operating requirements. Source dates are shown below; licenses, hosted limits and project activity can change.
Linktree without the landlord: editor, themes and click stats, all in one Docker stack.
licenseAGPL-3.0
runsyour machine or their cloud
installUpload the release to a PHP 8.1+ web host and run browser setup, or use the official Docker image
dataProfiles, links, themes, users, and click data live in SQLite by default or MySQL; uploaded images, configuration, and the database live under writable persistent application directories.
the catch vs Linktree ProLinkStack can reproduce the page and click counts, but the user must host, secure, back up, and update it and loses Linktree's integrations, marketplace, and managed reliability.
setupThe first obstacle is supplying a PHP/Docker host with writable storage, HTTPS, backups, and upgrades; public community instances remove setup but put the data on someone else's server.

Three free one-page sites; your custom domain and the last scrap of vanity still cost money.
licenseproprietary, free
runstheir cloud
installHosted browser signup and visual editor
dataSite definitions and uploaded media live in Carrd's cloud and are published to a Carrd URL; downloading unminified site source is a Pro Plus feature rather than part of the free account.
setup✓ installs clean
the catch vs Linktree ProCarrd's free plan has a 50-element limit, Carrd branding, no custom domain, and no built-in click analytics or forms, so it cannot reproduce the useful Pro extras without paying.

The same static page with unlimited basic links for zero dollars; branding and serious analytics remain the rent.
licenseproprietary, free
runstheir cloud
installHosted signup in a browser or the official mobile app
dataLinks, profile content, uploads, audience events, and analytics live in Linktree's cloud; exports are limited to the functions Linktree exposes rather than a portable site bundle.
setup✓ installs clean
the catch vs Linktree ProThe free plan keeps Linktree branding and materially weaker analytics, customization, marketing integrations, and custom-domain control than Linktree Pro.
