A link in bio page is the one link you're allowed to put on Instagram, TikTok or X, and it's often the first page a new follower sees. Most tools make a page that works. The differences are in what's free, what it costs to look like your own brand, and what happens when you want to sell.
We compared seven tools on those points. We make KuikCode, so it's listed first. Every other tool's facts come from its own pricing and feature pages, checked November 2026, in US dollars.

What to look for in a link in bio tool
- Branding. Free plans usually show the tool's name or logo on your page. Check which plan removes it.
- Your own domain. A link like
yourname.cominstead of the tool's address looks more like your brand, and it stays yours if you ever switch tools. - Selling fees. If you sell, a percentage per sale can cost more than a monthly plan.
- Your posts on the page. Some tools can show your latest Instagram or TikTok posts, so the page never looks stale.
- The QR code. If the page goes on a flyer, a business card, packaging or merch, you'll want a code that looks like your brand and that you can point somewhere else later.

How to choose
Start from where the page will be seen. If it only lives in your profile, the free plans above all make a working page, and the question is how much branding you'll accept. If you sell, compare the fee per sale with the monthly price. And if the page also goes on print, choose the tool that makes the code as well as the page, so the flyer, the card and the profile all lead to one place you can keep changing.
