Linktree Alternative: What to Look For (and Try) in 2026

If you're searching for a Linktree alternative, you're probably after one of three things: more design freedom, lower fees on sales, or features your current page just doesn't have. The good news is you don't need to rebuild everything from scratch to switch, and you don't need to pay for features you'll never use either.

This guide walks through what to actually compare, then shows how MiMi stacks up.

What to check before switching

Not all link-in-bio tools are built the same, so it's worth being specific about what matters to you.

How many links and pages can you have for free? Some tools cap you quickly or hide basic customisation behind a paywall. MiMi's free plan includes up to 50 links with no card required, which covers most creators comfortably.

Can you group and schedule links? If you post seasonal offers, limited drops or time-sensitive content, look for a tool that lets you schedule links to start and end automatically, rather than manually switching things on and off. MiMi's scheduling feature does exactly this, and there's also Leap Links, which sends every visitor straight to one link for a set period (handy for a single launch or event).

What happens to your money? This is often the deciding factor. Some platforms take a cut of every sale or tip. With MiMi, payments go straight to your own Stripe account, so you're only dealing with standard Stripe fees plus a small MiMi fee on the free plan (which drops to 0% on Pro).

Can you actually make it look like you? A page that looks identical to every other creator's isn't much of a bio page. Check for real design control: themes, fonts, button styles, background images, not just a colour picker.

Do you get useful stats? You want to know what people are clicking, not just how many people visited.

Moving your existing page over

The biggest worry when switching platforms is usually "will I have to rebuild everything?" You won't. MiMi lets you import your existing page from Linktree, Beacons, Stan or bio.link, pulling your links across so you're not starting from a blank page. The free plan includes one import, and Pro removes that limit if you're managing multiple accounts or client pages.

Once it's imported, head into the design studio to make it feel like yours rather than a copy of what you had before.

Building a page that does more than list links

A link-in-bio page shouldn't just be a list. Here's what's worth setting up properly.

Organise and group your links

Use headers to group related links (shop, latest video, socials) rather than one long scrolling list. You can drag to reorder and switch links on or off without deleting them, which is useful if you're testing what works. Full details are in the guide to adding and organising links.

Make key links stand out

If you've got one link that matters more than the rest (a new release, a sale, a sign-up form), an animation helps it catch the eye. MiMi offers five animation styles (shake, pulse, glow, bounce, wiggle), with up to two per page so it doesn't look cluttered. See the animate links guide for how to apply one.

Embed video and audio

If you're on YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Spotify, SoundCloud, Vimeo or Apple Music, you can embed players directly on your page rather than just linking out. They only load when tapped, so your page stays quick to open. The video and music players guide covers setup for each platform.

Design it properly

This is where a lot of generic bio pages fall short. MiMi's design studio gives you 24 themes (including Pride and cause themes), custom colours and gradients, background photos with dim or blur effects, font choices, and six button styles from soft and outline through to glass and hard shadow. If you'd rather not start from a theme, you can generate one from a photo using the AI theme from photo tool, which is a genuinely quick way to match your page to your existing brand colours or a product shot.

Collect emails, not just clicks

Social platforms own your followers. Your email list doesn't disappear if an algorithm changes. MiMi's email sign-up box records consent, lets you export to CSV, and syncs to Brevo, Mailchimp, SendGrid, MailerLite, Kit, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, or a webhook if you use something else.

Sell or accept tips directly

If you sell digital products or accept tips, check how the platform handles payments. With MiMi, you can add a tip jar or sell digital downloads (one download on the free plan, up to 20 on Pro), with money paid straight into your own Stripe account. Setting this up is covered in the payments with Stripe guide.

Check your stats

You want to know which links actually get clicked, not just how many visits you've had. MiMi shows views, clicks per link, and visitor countries over 7 and 30-day windows on the free plan, stretching to 90 days on Pro. The stats guide explains what each number means and how to use it to decide what to keep, move, or drop.

Sharing your page properly

Once your page is built, make it easy to find. MiMi generates a QR code (PNG or SVG) and a share button with ready-made share cards, so you're not screenshotting your page every time someone asks for your link. You can also opt into showing your page on Google, which helps if people search for your name rather than tapping a link in your bio. Both are covered in the share your page guide.

If you use your phone as your main device, you can add MiMi to your home screen so it opens like an app rather than a bookmark buried in your browser.

When it's worth running more than one page

If you manage a personal brand and a business account, or you're an agency running pages for clients, check whether the platform supports multiple pages from one login. MiMi Pro allows up to 20 pages, removes the "Made with MiMi" badge, drops the fee on tips and sales to 0%, and increases your AI request allowance alongside the extended 90-day stats. The MiMi Pro guide has the full breakdown if you're deciding whether to upgrade now or later.

Getting started takes a few minutes: create your MiMi page, import your existing links if you have them, and build out the design from there. If you ever get locked out, the password reset guide will sort you out quickly.
