Constants vs Linktree: Free Link Page or Free Storefront?

Linktree invented the link-in-bio category, and for a plain page of links it is still the default. But the comparison with Constants really comes down to one question: do you want your bio link to point at your stuff, or to sell it? Here is the honest breakdown, including the fee math most comparisons skip.

What they have in common

Both give you a free, mobile-friendly page at one short link where you can collect your socials, content, and links in one place. Both let you sell digital products directly from that page. Both are set up in minutes with no website or code. If all you ever do is list links, either free plan will serve you fine.

Pricing: the seller fee is the real story

Linktree's plans are Free, Starter at $8/mo, Pro at $15/mo, and Premium at $35/mo (annual billing brings those down to about $5, $12, and $24). The subscription is only half the picture: Linktree also takes a seller fee on every digital product sale — 12% on Free, 9% on Starter and Pro, and 0% only on the $35/mo Premium plan. Sell $500 of products a month on the free plan and Linktree's cut is $60 — more than the priciest subscription.

Constants has one free Starter plan you can sell on with a flat 6% platform fee — half of Linktree's free-plan 12% — and one paid plan, Premium at $29.99/mo, for the full toolkit. Card processing applies on both platforms, as it does everywhere. The current plan breakdown is at https://constants.com/pricing.

Where Linktree is strong

Ubiquity counts. Linktree is the name everyone knows, it works with practically everything, and the free page of links genuinely costs nothing forever. Setup is about as simple as software gets, the analytics on paid tiers are solid, and if your only goal is routing followers to your YouTube, podcast, newsletter, and merch hosted elsewhere, it does exactly that with zero learning curve.

Where Constants is different

Linktree is a router: people tap it and leave to wherever the real thing lives. Constants is the destination: your products, bookings, events, memberships, posts, and community all live on the page itself, and buyers can follow you there, so each sale grows an audience you own instead of ending at a checkout receipt. The fee math favors it early too — at a flat 6%, your first $500 month keeps $470, versus $440 after Linktree's free-plan 12%. And because your articles and posts live at the same link you sell from, the page can earn search traffic over time instead of being a list of doors.

Which one should you pick

Pick Linktree if your bio link is a signpost: you sell nothing (or sell elsewhere), you want the most familiar tool, and a free page of links is the whole job. Pick Constants if your bio link is a business: you sell or plan to sell digital products, calls, or memberships, and you would rather pay half the seller fee while you build a followable audience. Claiming a Constants handle is free, so the cheapest way to decide is to set up your page and see what your link can do when it is the destination.
