Choose by the job, not the logo: Linktree for the simplest possible link list, Beacons if you sell products or run a creator storefront, and Mydrop if the page should stay up to date with your posts and you schedule content too. The four questions below settle it in five minutes.

TLDR: Decide what the page has to do (list links, sell, capture emails or show your latest posts), how many pages you run and who edits them. One person with a page that sells: start with Beacons. A plain list of links: Linktree. A page tied to your scheduling and analytics: Mydrop. Note down your click baseline before you switch.

Mydrop pricing check, September 2026: the entry paid plans of the eight tools most often compared with Mydrop run from $6 per channel (Buffer) and $25 a month (Later) to $99 per user (Hootsuite) and $79 per seat (Sprout Social), read on each vendor's pricing page. Mydrop is free to start, then $19 a month flat, not per seat. Full table on Mydrop's compare pages.

The four questions

  1. What does the page need to do? List links, sell something, collect emails, or show what you posted this week.
  2. How many pages will you run? One for yourself, or several for brands and clients.
  3. Who edits it? Just you, or a team.
  4. Where do you want the numbers? In the link tool on its own, or next to your post analytics.
If your answers are Look at first
A simple list of links, one person Linktree
Selling products or a storefront as a creator Beacons
A page that updates from your posts, and you schedule content Mydrop
Several brands or client pages, with a team Mydrop, or see our agency comparison

Prices and features change often on all three, so check each vendor's own page before you decide. If you're also eyeing other tools, such as Zaap, put them through the same four questions.

What Mydrop's link page does beyond a link list

Mydrop's link-in-bio is part of the social media tool, and that changes what the page can do:

  • A live feed block fills with the brand's latest published posts, so the page never goes stale.
  • Email capture, downloads, media kits and contact cards turn visitors into leads, not just clicks.
  • Your own domain, on the bare domain or at any path, with managed SSL.
  • Per-page numbers: views, clicks, email captures, conversions and sources, with UTM tags on buttons.
  • Themes, fonts and custom HTML if you want it to look like your site.

It works with the URL shortener, which gives each caption link a short link and shows clicks per post by network. So "which post sent the traffic?" gets an answer without a second tool.

Where Linktree and Beacons are the better pick

Let's be straight about it: if all you need this week is a page, and you don't schedule posts anywhere, a dedicated link tool is simpler. Mydrop is a social media management tool first. Its link page makes most sense if you already plan and publish there, or are about to.

Beacons deserves a proper look if selling is the main goal. Linktree is the one if speed and familiarity matter most.

What to put on the page first

Whichever tool you use, the order of the page matters more than the brand behind it. Put your one main action at the top: the newest video, the product you want to sell this week, or the sign-up. Keep everything else to five links or fewer, and drop anything nobody has clicked in 30 days.

If you use Mydrop, the live feed block covers the "what's new" part for you, so the top of the page only needs a human decision for that one main action.

Don't switch blind: baseline first

A new page can look better and perform worse. Here's how to tell the difference:

  1. Write down your last 30 days of clicks per link.
  2. Copy your link list into a spreadsheet.
  3. Build the new page and check it on mobile.
  4. Swap the link in your bio.
  5. After 14 days, compare clicks per link against the baseline.

FAQ

Quick answers

It depends on the job. Beacons is built for creators who sell, with a storefront and products. Linktree is the simpler link list most people know. Compare both on their current plans before you decide.

One that sits alongside your scheduler. Mydrop includes link-in-bio, so the page can show your latest published posts, and its numbers sit right next to your post analytics.

Not at the start. It starts to matter once the page carries your brand or a client's, because a page on your own domain feels like part of your site. Mydrop supports custom domains with managed SSL.

Next step

Stop coordinating around the work

If your team spends more time chasing approvals, assets, and publish details than creating better posts, the problem is probably not your people. It is the workflow around them. Mydrop brings planning, review, scheduling, and performance into one calmer operating system.
