Why people like Lnk.Bio
Lnk.Bio is an independent company that says it has kept the same prices since 2016 and has more than 2 million creators. Its free plan includes unlimited links, music and video embeds, basic stats, a QR code and three pages.
It also goes deep. Its features page lists 577 templates, 44,813 fonts, 147 embed services and 19 integrations, plus apps for iOS and Android. If you enjoy fine-tuning every part of your page, there's a lot to work with.
Where the costs add up
The base plans are cheap: Mini is $0.99 a month and Unique is $24.99 once. Some extras sit outside them. Connecting a domain you own is a $29.99 a year add-on, the verified badge is $2 a month and the booking calendar is $4 a month, or you can get all three with Ultra at $89.99 a year.
Selling has its own cost. The shop comes with Unique and takes a 5% fee on each sale, on top of Stripe or PayPal fees. Hiyaly's shop takes nothing: downloads, tips and paid bookings are charged on your own Stripe account at 0% Hiyaly fees, and its booking calendar is included in Pro.
Even so, Lnk.Bio is usually cheaper than Hiyaly over a year. If price is your main concern and you're happy to set things up yourself, it's a strong choice.
Lots of options vs a guided start
Lnk.Bio hands you the toolbox. You log in, add links and then choose from layouts, groups, grids that mirror Instagram and many more settings.
Hiyaly takes the opposite approach. Hiya reads the socials you name and sets up your page first, then you adjust it with themes and stickers. You get fewer knobs, but you're live sooner with less to decide.
