Why people switch from Linktree
Everything Linktree charges for —
Alshorty gives you free
Free YouTube & Spotify embeds
Embed video and music players directly in your bio page — no paywall. Linktree charges for this on their paid plans.
QR code — always free
Every bio page gets a downloadable QR code in SVG and PNG instantly. Linktree locks QR codes behind a paid plan.
Built-in contact form
Visitors can message you directly from your bio page. No third-party tools, no Mailchimp required. Linktree has never offered this.
Real analytics — free
See total views, clicks, per-link stats, and CTR on the free plan. Linktree free analytics are severely limited.
8 themes + full color control
Choose from 8 themes, pick your accent color, and set gradient or image backgrounds — all available on the free plan.
URL shortener included
Alshorty is a full URL shortener too — 50 free short links/month with analytics. Linktree is bio-only and never added this.

Common questions when switching from Linktree
Why look for a Linktree alternative?
Linktree pioneered the "link in bio" category, but its free plan has become increasingly limited over time. QR codes, media embeds (YouTube, Spotify), detailed analytics, and custom backgrounds are all locked behind paid plans starting at $9/month. For creators, influencers, and small businesses who want a professional bio page without paying a monthly fee, the free plan simply doesn't deliver.
What makes Alshorty the best free Linktree alternative?
Alshorty was built to give creators everything they need without forcing an upgrade. The free plan includes a QR code for your bio page, YouTube and Spotify embed blocks, a built-in contact form, per-link click analytics, 8 customizable themes with accent color control, and section headers — features that Linktree charges for. On top of that, Alshorty is also a full URL shortener with 50 free links per month, something Linktree has never offered.
Linktree alternative for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
Alshorty bio pages are mobile-first and load fast on every device. After creating your page, you get a clean URL like alshorty.com/bio/yourname — drop it into your Instagram bio, TikTok bio, YouTube about section, or Twitter/X profile exactly as you would a Linktree link. The contact form block lets followers and brands reach you directly without needing a separate email tool.
