Short answer: if you just need every link on one page, with click stats and a QR code, a free plan from mylinq or Linktree is enough. Choose Beacons if you sell digital products, Carrd if you want a designed one-page site, and Instagram's own links if you only have two or three.
We make mylinq, so we've tried to be fair: every fact about other tools comes from their own pricing pages, checked on 15 October 2026, and we say where others are the better pick.
Quotes are the tools' own words. Prices change; check each tool's own site for the latest.

It depends on what you need. For a clean page with unlimited links, click stats and a QR code at no cost, mylinq and Linktree's free plans both work. If you sell digital products, Beacons has selling built in but takes a 9% fee on its free plan. If you want a designed one-page site, Carrd is more flexible.
Not among the tools compared here, going by their pricing pages: removing the platform's branding is a paid feature. On mylinq that's Pro; on Linktree it's listed on Premium.
Only the first of those links shows on your profile, there are no click stats, and they only work on Instagram. A link-in-bio page gives you one address for every app, with your links laid out, icons and analytics.
mylinq shows page views, link clicks and click rate for the last 7 days on Free. Linktree lists “basic analytics” and Beacons lists “real-time analytics” on their free plans.
Free forever. No credit card. Upgrade only if you need more.
