Linktree alternative for affiliate creators
Linktree is the default link-in-bio, and it's the right call for a lot of people. But if your bio drives commission revenue through affiliate links and discount codes, Linktree treats those the same as any other URL. linksync was built for that exact workflow: product cards with prices, expiring discount codes, per-link conversion insight, and no cut of your earnings.
Why creators leave Linktree
- 1
Product cards instead of plain link buttons
A Linktree bio is a wall of buttons. A linksync bio shows the product itself: image, title, price, and the code your followers actually came for. Tap-through rates from a 'see the product' card beat plain text links by a wide margin, because the decision happens on the bio page instead of after a click that costs the visitor data and time. For affiliate creators that gap is the difference between an audience-of-clickers and an audience-of-buyers.

One-tap discount codes that auto-expire
Affiliate creators promise their followers exclusive codes. Linktree treats them as plain text in a bio description, so stale codes linger forever and followers manually copy-paste them. linksync pins each code to its product, lets a follower tap to copy, and auto-hides codes once the expiry passes. No more 'the code didn't work' replies in your DMs, and no permanent SAVE15 strings haunting a campaign that ended four months ago.

Per-link analytics with country breakdown, on free
Linktree's free tier shows total page views and nothing else. linksync ships free with per-link clicks plus a country breakdown, so you can see which affiliate program your audience actually converts on, and whether that Amazon US link should swap to an Amazon UK tag for half your traffic. That data normally costs $25-$30 a month in a separate tool; here it comes with the bio.

Zero revenue share on your earnings
Linktree's commerce features take a cut on every transaction (1.5% to 3% depending on plan). On a thousand euros a month in affiliate commission that's thirty euros a month evaporating into someone else's bank account. linksync charges €4.99 a month flat for Pro, regardless of how much you earn. The math flips in your favor past about €330 a month in commissions, and the gap only widens from there.

Which one is right for you?
The honest answer depends on what your bio is doing for you.
- You earn through affiliate commissions (Amazon Associates, LTK, ShareASale, niche programs).
- You drop discount codes for your followers and want them to actually get used.
- You want to see which products convert without bolting on a separate analytics subscription.
- You care that the platform under your bio doesn't take a cut of the money you bring in.
- Your bio is non-commercial: linking to a podcast, a portfolio, a few socials, nothing being sold.
- You need more than ten links on a free tier and aren't ready to upgrade.
- You rely on a Linktree-specific integration (Marketplace partner, Linktree commerce store) that isn't in linksync yet.
Move from Linktree in about ten minutes

Sign up for free
Pick your linksync URL. Free forever, no credit card. The username you choose becomes linksync.me/your-handle, the URL you'll put in your bio.
- 2
Drop in your existing links
Open the editor and paste each affiliate URL. The fastest path: open your current Linktree in another tab and work down the list. For every product link, you'll want the affiliate URL plus an image (a product photo or screenshot works fine).

Promote your product links into product cards
For each affiliate row, click into it and add an image, price, and discount code. This is the step that earns you the conversion lift; it's the difference between linksync and a clone-of-Linktree.

Swap the bio link on your socials
Replace linktr.ee/yourname with linksync.me/yourname on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, threads, wherever your audience lives. Your old Linktree page stays live until you delete it, so nothing breaks during the cutover.
- 5
Check analytics weekly
Open the analytics tab to see which products convert. Double down on those in your next post, and quietly retire the ones nobody taps. The free tier holds seven days of clicks; Pro lifts that to unlimited.
Questions creators ask
Can I import my Linktree links automatically?
Not yet; the importer is on the Q3 roadmap. Most creators paste links manually in a few minutes, and most also redesign the bio when they switch, because product cards work very differently from a plain link list.
Will my Linktree URL keep working after I switch?
Yes. Your Linktree page belongs to Linktree, not to linksync, and linksync doesn't touch it. The common pattern is to leave it live for a month so old bookmarks resolve, then delete it once everyone's on the new URL.
Does linksync take a cut of my affiliate revenue?
Zero percent. linksync charges €4.99 a month for Pro and nothing else. Your affiliate dashboards are between you and the affiliate network: Amazon, LTK, ShareASale, or whichever you use.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Point a domain you own at linksync and your bio lives at links.yourname.com instead of linksync.me. SSL is handled automatically.
How do the analytics compare?
linksync gives you per-link clicks and a country breakdown on free; Linktree gates that behind Pro ($24 a month as of 2026). On linksync Pro you also get an unlimited analytics window (free holds seven days). For most affiliate creators, the free tier covers the visibility Linktree only gives paid users.
