What is Linktree?
What is Linktree?
You might have seen Linktree mentioned on websites or social media profiles. Curiosity eventually got the better of us and we clicked and rather than finding an unknown social media platform, we were met with a genius idea. So, what is Linktree and how can I use it for my small business?
What is Linktree?
Linktree is a social media reference landing page which allows a company or person to put all their associated links in a personalised and customisable page. Established in 2016, it was developed by an Australian company addressing the frustration that social media platforms rarely allow multiple hyperlinks in profiles and it can be used on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube and more. To date, there are over 40 million users. Described as a freemium service, this means Linktree offers a free offering as well as a Pro subscription which gives more benefits.
Freemium vs Pro
There are four plans for Linktree. Try the free version to see how you get on. You can then try the Pro (most popular plan) free for 7 days. This is a basic table showing costs and features available on each plan. There is a more in-depth table which shows all the features here.
| Feature | Free | Starter (£2.50 per month) | Pro (£4 per month) | Premium (£11.50 per month |
| Unlimited links | yes | yes | yes | yes |
