How Much Does Linktree Cost in 2026? Every Plan and Fee

Jun 16, 2026·Updated Nov 4, 2026

Linktree costs $0, $9, $17 or $35 a month after its October 2026 price rise ($7, $14 or $30 billed annually). What each plan includes and the yearly total.

Linktree costs $0 on the free plan and $9, $17 or $35 a month on its three paid plans when billed monthly. Billed annually, the paid plans work out to $7, $14 or $30 a month. That is the headline answer. Linktree changed both its prices and what each plan includes in October 2026, so most of the pricing guides written before then are now wrong.

This breaks down every plan, what changed in 2025 and 2026, the fees that still apply when you sell, and the yearly total before you commit.


TL;DR

  • Free: $0. Unlimited basic links and email and phone sign-ups. Linktree branding stays, and the plan no longer lists selling.
  • Starter: $9/month, or $7/month billed annually. Unlimited featured links and basic analytics.
  • Pro: $17/month, or $14/month billed annually. Removes Linktree branding, adds custom designs, mailing list integrations and 0% sell-and-earn fees.
  • Premium: $35/month, or $30/month billed annually. Adds all-time analytics, data export, link rules and routing, social scheduling and unlimited Instagram auto-replies.
  • Fees when you sell: Linktree says it charges USD $0.25 per payout and that processing fees may apply. The old 12% and 9% percentage cuts are no longer on the Pro or Premium plan cards.
  • Prices went up twice: Pro went from $9 to $15 in November 2025, then Starter ($8 to $9) and Pro ($15 to $17) rose again on October 26, 2026.

Linktree pricing in 2026, plan by plan

Free$0$0$0Unlimited basic links, email and phone sign-ups
Starter$9$7$84Everything in Free, plus a personalized Linktree, unlimited featured links, basic analytics

Premium$35$30$360Everything in Pro, plus link rules and routing, AI integrations, all-time analytics, data export, social media scheduling, unlimited Instagram auto-replies

Prices are the US dollar prices on Linktree's pricing page as of November 4, 2026. Pro and Premium come with a 7-day free trial. Agencies and enterprises get team seats on a custom plan priced through Linktree's sales team.

Annual billing saves the most on Starter (about 22%), then Pro (about 18%) and Premium (about 14%).


What changed in 2025 and 2026

If Linktree feels more expensive than you remember, you are right. Three changes landed in under a year:

  • November 2025: Pro went from $9 to $15 a month.
  • October 5, 2026: the plans were repackaged. The free plan stopped listing selling products, courses and brand offers and now shows email and phone sign-ups instead. Starter gained unlimited featured links. Pro gained 0% sell-and-earn fees and custom designs. Premium gained link rules and routing, AI integrations and all-time analytics.
  • October 26, 2026: Starter went from $8 to $9 a month ($6 to $7 billed annually) and Pro went from $15 to $17 ($12 to $14 billed annually). Premium stayed at $35 ($30 billed annually).

The dates for the 2026 changes come from PricingSaaS, which tracks Linktree's pricing page week by week. Taken together, a creator on monthly Pro pays $17 today against $9 a year ago. We cover the wider context in why Linktree is so expensive.


The fees that still apply when you sell

Until October 2026, the biggest hidden cost on Linktree was a percentage commerce fee: 12% on the free plan and 9% on Starter and Pro. That changed with the repackaging. Pro and Premium now list 0% sell-and-earn fees, and the free plan no longer lists selling at all.

Two costs remain, according to Linktree's own pricing page:

  1. Payout fee: USD $0.25 each time you withdraw your earnings.
  2. Processing fees: Linktree notes that "transaction and processing fees may apply", which covers the payment processor's cut on each sale.

For sellers, that makes the maths much simpler than it used to be. You no longer need Premium to avoid a percentage cut, so Pro at $14 a month billed annually is the realistic plan for most people who sell from their bio.


What you actually pay over a year

The subscription is now most of the bill, so the yearly totals are the number to compare:

PlanPaid monthlyPaid annuallyWho it suits
Starter$108/year$84/yearUnlimited featured links and basic analytics, with branding still shown
Pro$204/year$168/yearRemoving branding, or selling from your bio with 0% sell-and-earn fees
Premium$420/year$360/yearSocial scheduling, Instagram auto-replies, data export and all-time analytics

Our interactive Linktree cost calculator multiplies any plan by the months you pay and compares it with Shelfy Pro over the same period.


If you do not sell anything

Plenty of people use Linktree purely as a link page with no commerce. In that case your cost is simply the plan:

  • Just need links and do not mind branding? Free works.
  • Want featured links and basic analytics? $9/month, or $7 billed annually (Starter).
  • Want Linktree branding removed? $17/month, or $14 billed annually (Pro).

Here is the catch for the no-commerce crowd: the main things you pay Linktree for (no branding, analytics, more than one page) cost less elsewhere. Shelfy has a free plan with unlimited links, analytics with 30 days of history and up to 300 collections. Shelfy Pro adds a custom domain, branding with no "Powered by Shelfy" badge, and 365 days of analytics at $9/month ($79/year). If you only want a link page and never plan to sell through it, that is $8 a month less than Linktree Pro on monthly billing.
