Linktree pricing explained: what each plan takes from a sale

We make Drry, which has a bio link of its own, so read this with that in mind. Linktree has four plans: Free, Starter at $9 a month, Pro at $17 and Premium at $35, each a little cheaper billed annually. For a page of links, that is the whole story. The moment the page sells something, the plan decides whether it can charge at all: paid digital products, courses and bookings start on Pro, and from there Linktree takes 0% of the sale.

How much does Linktree cost?

• Free, $0. Unlimited basic links. Digital products, courses and bookings are free ones only; Inbox Tips and Pay to Unlock carry a 12% fee. Insights look back 28 days.
• Starter, $9 a month ($7 billed annually). Still free products only: selling at a price starts on Pro.
• Pro, $17 a month ($14 billed annually). Sells at 0% Linktree fees, and the Linktree branding comes off, with custom designs, longer insights and mailing list integrations.
• Premium, $35 a month ($30 billed annually). 0% Linktree fees, plus data export and social scheduling.

Linktree's fee article no longer lists a rate per plan; it points to the pricing page's comparison table, which is where these figures come from. If an older screenshot shows a percentage on every plan below the top one, it predates the change.

What Linktree takes from each sale

Two charges can come off a sale. Linktree's fee, which is 0% on Pro and Premium (the only plans that sell at a price) and 12% on Free's Inbox Tips and Pay to Unlock, and Stripe's card processing, 2.9% plus $0.30 a purchase on every plan, since checkout runs through a Stripe account in your name. Payouts cost $0.25 each on top.

Is Premium worth it for selling?

There is no fee to buy down any more. Selling at a price starts on Pro, at 0%, so the only question is whether Premium's extras (link rules, AI integrations, all-time analytics, data export and social scheduling) are worth $18 a month to you.

The step that matters is the one below it. If your page will sell a product, a course or a booking, skip Starter: it shares those free only, so it is $9 a month that cannot sell any of them at a price. For a seller, the real price of Linktree is $17 a month from the first sale, whatever the page earns.

What no plan changes

• Your address. Linktree's own help centre says it does not offer a custom domain, so the page stays at linktr.ee on Premium too.
• Email. Linktree collects sign-ups and can tell subscribers when you add a link. Sending a newsletter means passing the list to Mailchimp, Kit or similar, which the upper plans sync for you and which you then pay for separately.
• What happens after the sale. A buyer gets the file, the course or the booking. The community option Linktree documents is a link out to a WhatsApp, Discord or Slack group.

Is there an alternative that sells on a free plan?

This is where we sell you something. Drry's bio link is a full page of its own: links, headings, embeds, and items that sell downloads, book calls and capture emails in a sheet that opens over the page, so nobody is sent away to pay. It takes 0% of your sales on every plan, the free one included, with only Stripe's processing on top. Linktree Pro takes 0% too, so the difference is not the rate: it is that our free plan can sell, and what sits behind the page.

• Free: 30 items on the page, 10 products and $500 of earnings a month, at 0%. On Linktree, the first paid sale needs Pro at $17 a month.
• $29 a month (Creator): unlimited, still 0%, and your own domain. On the $1,000.00 month above you would keep $934.50, which is $12.00 less than Linktree Pro keeps; what the difference buys is your own domain and the community behind the page.
• Behind the page, the part Linktree does not do: a community, courses, events and email you send yourself.

If your page is a list of links, Linktree is excellent at that and you may not need anything else. If it sells, see how the Drry bio link works, or the side-by-side in Drry vs Linktree.
