Strengths and trade-offs
Linktree — where it wins

- Scheduling and link expiry on paid plans suit campaign drops
Where it doesn't
- Real design freedom (fonts, layouts) sits behind Pro

- Linktree branding stays on your page until you pay
Stan Store — where it wins
- Checkout happens inside the page — no redirect, no cart drop-off
- Calendar booking, courses and digital downloads in one product list
- No per-sale platform fee; you keep everything minus card processing
Where it doesn't
- No free plan, and $29 a month is steep for a hobby account
- Design is a fixed template — brand colours yes, layout no
- Weak for plain link lists; every block wants to sell something
- Linktree9.2/10 · Free plan · paid from $7/mo
The default for a reason — fast setup, deep integrations, and a free plan you can actually live on.
