Linkme Alternative for Creators Who Sell Paid Links on Their Own Domain
Gated and paid links on every plan. No platform branding, ever.
Build your page
What your fans see
The short answer
The best Linkme alternative for a creator who sells is a bio page built around paid and email-locked links. ExclusiveLink Pro is $99 a month, or $49 a month billed yearly, with a 0% platform fee, your own domain, per-link payment and email locks, lead and click CSV export, and clicks by platform.
If your work is posting to several platforms and automating replies, keep Linkme Pro at $119.99 a year on the website. It is far cheaper than we are and does a job we do not do.
Why creators look for a Linkme alternative
Linkme is built for reach, a selling page is built for the lock
Most people who leave Linkme are not unhappy with it. Their bio link picked up a second job that a posting and automation app was never designed around.
No price on a single link
Linkme sells digital products and courses from Plus up. What it does not list is a lock on an arbitrary URL, so a $15 deposit before your calendar, a $9 private playlist or an unlisted replay has to be rebuilt as a product.
The fee is not published
Linkme's pricing page describes merch fees as "higher" on Free and "low" on Plus, and gives no percentage for digital products. You cannot price a product properly when the cut is unknown until setup.
No custom domain listed
Pro lets you swap the Linkme mark for your logo. The plan table does not list your own domain on any individual plan, so the address in your bio still belongs to Linkme.
Buyer data sits on Pro
Leads with CSV export are a Pro feature. On Plus you can collect contacts with forms, but taking the list out is not on that plan's feature list.
What changes on your page
Same links, but each one can ask for a payment or an email first
You keep your layout. The difference is what happens after the tap.

Every link opens
- Book a session

Visitor taps, leaves, and you never learn who it was.

Every link earns or captures

- Free starter guide Email
- Latest video
Each payment and email lands in your CSV with the platform that sent it.
A paid link is a one-time unlock that opens any URL you choose after checkout: a calendar, a Drive folder, an unlisted video, a Discord invite. Nothing has to be uploaded as a product. Service providers use it to take a deposit before a client picks a time, shown on the link in bio for booking page, and creators use it for paid access, covered on link in bio for exclusive content.
What a year costs
Linkme is much cheaper, and here is what the difference buys
Plan prices for twelve months in USD. Card processing (typically 2.9% plus 30 cents) applies on every tool that takes payments, including ours, and is left out.
Linkme Plus, web yearly
$49.99
Digital products, courses, forms, link scheduler. Fee on sales not published.
Linkme Pro, web yearly
$119.99
Adds your logo, Leads with CSV export, real-time analytics, 10 accounts per platform.
Linkme Pro, in-app monthly
$359.88
The same Pro at $29.99 a month through the US App Store.
ExclusiveLink Creator, yearly
$288
Paid and email locks on any link, 2% platform fee, leads and clicks CSV.
ExclusiveLink Pro, yearly
$588
0% platform fee, your own domain, clicks by platform, A/B link tests.
ExclusiveLink Pro, monthly
$1,188
12 payments of $99, cancel any month.
Read the gap honestly. Pro on our side costs about five times Linkme Pro on the web. It only pays off when the page sells access worth a few thousand dollars a year, when you need a fee you can plan around, or when the page has to run on your own address. If none of that applies, Linkme is the better buy. The plan by plan detail, including why the app price is higher, is in the Linkme pricing breakdown, and our own plans are on the pricing page.

Where Linkme wins, and where we do
Both columns come from each product's public pages. Our row is a vendor's row, so check anything that decides your purchase.
| Capability | Linkme | ExclusiveLink (our row) |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free plan, Plus $5.99 a month on the web | $49 a month ($24 billed yearly), no free plan |
| Post to every social platform | Post to All, unlimited from Plus | No. We are not a scheduler |
| Instagram DM and comment automations | Yes, unlimited on Pro | No |
| Payment lock on any link | Not listed. Products and courses instead | Yes, one-time unlock to any URL |
| Email lock before a link opens | Data capture forms from Plus | Per link, with the source of each email |
| Fee on sales | Not published on the pricing page | 2% on Creator, 0% on Pro and above |
| Your own domain | Not listed on any individual plan | Included on Pro, connected from the panel |
| Leads CSV export | Pro | Every plan |
| Clicks by platform | Advanced analytics on Plus, real-time on Pro | Source by platform per link on Pro |

Two other names come up in the same search. Linktree's help center says it does not support custom domains on any plan, and Stan Store, at $29 a month with a 0% fee, does not offer one either. The wider field is ranked on the best link in bio app for creators who sell page, and the custom domain link in bio page shows how the domain setup works on our side.
05 ยท Who it is for
Switch if the page sells access. Stay if the job is posting.
ExclusiveLink is the better buy if you
- Sell access that lives at a URL: sessions, private feeds, replays, templates, invites.
- Need to know the fee before you set a price, and want 0% once sales are steady.
- Want the page on yourname.com so the address survives a change of tools.
- Need every buyer and signup in a CSV with the link and platform that brought them, which is what link in bio tracking is about.
Stay on Linkme if you
- Spend your time cross-posting to five platforms and want one button for it.
- Depend on Instagram comment and DM automations to send links.
- Earn mainly from brand deals and want a verified badge and a follower total on the page.
- Sell print on demand merch and do not want to run a store.
How it works
Moving from Linkme without losing a click
Four steps, in this order, so nobody who taps an old link hits an empty page.
-
1
Rebuild the links that earn
Copy the links that got taps in the last 90 days. Turn each product that delivers a file or a URL into a paid link and each freebie into an email lock. Buy the cheapest one yourself to check delivery.
-
2
Point your domain
On Pro, connect yourname.com from the panel. From then on the address in your bio is yours, whatever tool runs behind it.
-
3
Keep Linkme for posting
You can keep Post to All and automations running. Put your new page as the top link on the Linkme profile and in your automation replies.
-
4
Swap every bio the same evening
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, X. Changing them together keeps the platform numbers clean from day one. Watch 30 days of clicks before you cancel anything.
If you subscribed to Linkme inside the iPhone or Android app, Linkme's FAQ says to cancel through the App Store or Google Play, not in Linkme's settings. A Linktree page, if you also have one, can be pulled in with the importer at claim your link.

Linkme alternative questions, answered
What is the best Linkme alternative?
For a creator who sells access from the bio link, ExclusiveLink is the closest fit: a payment or email lock on any link, a published 0% fee on Pro, your own domain and lead export, at $49 a month billed yearly. For a free link page, Linktree and Beacons both have free plans. For cross-posting, nothing here replaces Linkme.
Is Linkme free?
Yes. Linkme's Free plan includes the profile and mini website, unlimited links, tips, product links, merch and basic analytics, with a Powered by Linkme badge and 10 Post to All posts in total. Plus costs $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year on the website, and Pro $19.99 a month or $119.99 a year.
Can you sell on Linkme?
Yes. The Free plan links to products you sell elsewhere and sells print on demand merch. Plus adds digital product downloads and a course builder. Linkme's pricing page does not publish a percentage fee for these sales, so check it at product setup before you set a price.
Does Linkme have a custom domain?
Linkme's pricing page does not list a custom domain on Free, Plus or Pro. Pro lets you replace the Linkme mark with your own logo, which is branding rather than an address. If your own domain matters, confirm with Linkme before you pay. ExclusiveLink includes one on Pro.
Is Linkme better than Linktree?
For posting, yes: Linkme adds Post to All and DM automations that Linktree does not sell, and its web prices are lower. For selling, neither lists your own domain on its plans, and Linktree's help center says it does not support custom domains at all. A creator who sells access is better served by a page built around locks.
Can I keep Linkme and use another bio page?
Yes, and many creators should. Keep Linkme for Post to All and automations, put your selling page in every bio, and make it the first link on your Linkme profile. You pay for both, but each does the job it is built for.
