The Best Linktree Alternatives for Musicians in 2026

Every musician ends up needing the same thing eventually: one link they can drop in an Instagram bio, a Discord server, or a flyer that sends people everywhere they need to go. Streaming platforms, merch store, tour dates, the new single. Linktree popularized this idea and it's still the biggest name in the space, but it was built for creators in general, not musicians specifically. And its pricing has moved in a direction that's worth knowing about before you build your whole online presence around it.

Linktree raised its prices in November 2025, with the Pro plan jumping from $9 to $15 a month. The free plan still works, but it keeps you on a linktr.ee/yourname address, puts Linktree's own branding on your page, and takes a 12% cut of any digital product sales you make through it.

Here's a look at a few alternatives worth knowing about, along with what makes each one different.

1. Beacons

Beacons is one of the more generous free tiers in the link-in-bio space. The free plan includes a customizable page, a media kit that updates itself, and the ability to sell unlimited digital products. The catch is a 9% seller fee on anything you sell while on the Free or Creator plan. That fee drops to 0% once you move up to the $30/month Creator Plus tier. Paid plans run $10, $30, and $90 a month depending on how much email marketing and automation you need.

Beacons makes sense if you're planning to sell digital products (sample packs, presets, courses) alongside your music and want the storefront and email tools bundled into one page.

2. Lnk.Bio

Lnk.Bio has kept the same pricing since 2016, which says something in an industry where subscription prices tend to only go one direction. The free plan gives you unlimited links and a fair number of embeds. If you want a custom domain or extra design options, a lifetime purchase (not a subscription) runs $9.99 to $24.99 depending on the tier. One month of Linktree's premium plan costs more than Lnk.Bio does forever.

If you just want a clean, no-frills link page and never want to think about a monthly bill again, this is the simplest option on the list.

3. Carrd

Carrd isn't a link-in-bio tool exactly. It's a single-page website builder, which means you get a lot more design freedom than a template-based link page. A Pro plan is $19/year and unlocks a custom domain and basic analytics. The tradeoff is that Carrd expects you to actually build the page yourself rather than filling in a template, so it takes more time up front.

This one is a good fit for artists who want their link page to look genuinely custom instead of like everyone else's.

4. Bandzoogle

Bandzoogle goes further than a link page. It's a full website builder built specifically for bands and musicians, with commission-free merch and music sales, tip jars, mailing list tools, and pages for tour dates and press. Plans run from about $8 to $17 a month depending on which tools you need (a bare-bones EPK plan versus a full store).

If you're past the point of needing just a link page and want an actual website with a real domain, Bandzoogle is built for exactly that.

The Only Free Option That Also Hosts Your Music

We're going to be upfront that this is our own product, since it's relevant here. Everything above costs something once you scale, a percentage of sales, a monthly plan, a domain fee. Soniare Music is the link-in-bio profile built for musicians, and it doesn't.

It's designed specifically for musicians rather than creators in general. Here's what it does. You get a profile page that works like a link tree, with your streaming links, socials, and anything else you want to point people to. But instead of stopping there, you can upload your actual songs directly to the page, so fans can stream your music right from your profile instead of getting bounced to Spotify or SoundCloud. Think of it as a hybrid between a Linktree and a SoundCloud page.

You can also set up a $ Pay button on your profile. It's a real payment link, not a placeholder, so fans can send you money by card directly, whether it's a tip after a show, a payment for a performance, or a merch order you're handling yourself. No third-party payment app required on the fan's end.

A few specifics worth knowing:

The profile itself is completely free. No tiers, no paywalled features on the link page.
Song uploads under 50MB are free, the same limit Discord uses for file uploads, so if you know what fits there, you already know what fits here.
Uploads over 50MB require a Pro account (up to 1GB per file), which is the same Pro tier used across the rest of Soniare.
No pop-ups. We don't interrupt your page trying to sell visitors on Soniare. Your profile is your profile.

That last point matters more than it might seem. Your fans' attention is yours, not ours to spend. A lot of "free" link-in-bio tools make their money by advertising themselves on your page, whether that's a logo, a badge, or a banner nudging your fans to sign up too. Every one of those is attention pulled away from you and handed to the platform instead. We'd rather earn your trust than borrow your audience's attention to get it.

Soniare Music also ties directly into Auwen, our music-making software. If you write and produce a track in Auwen, you can upload it straight to your Soniare Music profile without exporting, re-uploading, or bouncing between apps. Write it, upload it, and it's live on the page you're already sending fans to.

Artists are already using it this way. Check out GOOPSTER, perambulator, and Vilas to see real profiles, live tracks, and pay buttons in action.

The Bottom Line

There's no single "best" option here. If you want a bundled storefront, Beacons is worth a look. If you want to never pay a subscription again, Lnk.Bio. If you want a fully custom page, Carrd. If you want a complete band website, Bandzoogle. And if you want your link page to double as a place fans can actually hear your music and pay you directly, that's what we built Soniare Music for.
