Taplink vs Linktree: Honest Comparison, Plus a Pick for Teams

Taplink vs Linktree comes down to what the page has to do. Pick Linktree if you want the quickest, most recognised list of buttons that sends a tap to the right place. Pick Taplink if your bio page has to work as a small landing page that explains, collects requests and sells on the page itself. If several people manage the page for a brand, look at a team tool like Mydrop instead, because both started out as tools for the person whose profile it is.

TLDR: Linktree routes clicks, Taplink converts on the page. Choose by where the sale or the signup happens: on your own site (Linktree) or on the bio page (Taplink). For a team running a brand with a content calendar, Mydrop puts the page next to the posts.

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 $199 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.

Pick Linktree if the conversion happens somewhere else

Linktree started in Melbourne in 2016 and became the default name for the category. Its strength is speed: a clean page goes live in minutes, and the layout feels familiar to visitors.

Linktree fits best when the page is a router. The real conversion happens on your shop, your booking page or your newsletter signup, and the bio page only has to send each tap to the right door. Its catalogue of integrations and embeds helps here.

The trade-off: the page is mostly a list. If you need to explain an offer, answer questions or take a request on the page itself, you will end up stacking apps to get there.

Pick Taplink if the page has to sell on its own

Taplink treats the bio page as a small landing page. You build it from blocks: text, images, buttons, messenger links, forms, FAQs and product or price lists. It is popular with small businesses that sell straight from Instagram and messaging apps, where there is no separate website at all.

Taplink fits best when the page is the shop window. A beauty salon listing services and taking booking requests, or a coach explaining a programme and collecting applications, gets more from Taplink's blocks than from a list of buttons.

The trade-off: more text and blocks means more effort to keep the page fast, tidy and up to date on a phone.

Why the bio link deserves a real decision

For most accounts, the bio is where the click happens. In Mydrop's data, posts with a link in the caption ran 7% below their account's typical post. So the page that receives those clicks is worth choosing carefully.

There is an SEO angle too. A page on linktr.ee or taplink.cc builds the vendor's domain, not yours. A page on your own subdomain, like links.yourbrand.com, can rank for your brand name and sends visitors into your own site. Neither will rank for competitive terms.

When neither fits: three people, one bio page

Both tools are designed first around the person whose profile it is. Before buying either for a team, check how many logins your plan includes and whether a change can wait for review before it goes live.

This is the gap Mydrop's link in bio pages are built for:

• Each teammate has their own login, with access per brand, and pages are saved as drafts before they go live.
• The page runs on your domain or a path on yours (links.youragency.com/client), with managed SSL and the powered-by badge hidden.
• A feed block fills with the brand's latest published posts, so the page stays current as you publish.
• Email capture and UTM tracking are built in, with views, clicks and sources per page.

Switch bio tools without losing a day of clicks

Whichever you pick, move in this order:

1. Build the new page fully and test every button on a phone.
2. Add UTM tags to the new bio URL so you can compare before and after.
3. Update the bio link on every profile on the same day.
4. Leave the old page live for a month with one button pointing to the new one.
