Linktree Pro alternatives: 3 free & open-source picks
Curated, verified, and actually free. No trials, no crippled tiers. Star counts and last-activity dates checked by hand, not scraped and forgotten.
Linktree without the landlord: editor, themes and click stats, all in one Docker stack.
licenseAGPL-3.0
runsyour machine or their cloud
installUpload the release to a PHP 8.1+ web host and run browser setup, or use the official Docker image
dataProfiles, links, themes, users, and click data live in SQLite by default or MySQL; uploaded images, configuration, and the database live under writable persistent application directories.
vs Linktree ProLinkStack can reproduce the page and click counts, but the user must host, secure, back up, and update it and loses Linktree's integrations, marketplace, and managed reliability.
setupThe first obstacle is supplying a PHP/Docker host with writable storage, HTTPS, backups, and upgrades; public community instances remove setup but put the data on someone else's server.

Three free one-page sites; your custom domain and the last scrap of vanity still cost money.

dataSite definitions and uploaded media live in Carrd's cloud and are published to a Carrd URL; downloading unminified site source is a Pro Plus feature rather than part of the free account.
vs Linktree ProCarrd's free plan has a 50-element limit, Carrd branding, no custom domain, and no built-in click analytics or forms, so it cannot reproduce the useful Pro extras without paying.

The same static page with unlimited basic links for zero dollars; branding and serious analytics remain the rent.

dataLinks, profile content, uploads, audience events, and analytics live in Linktree's cloud; exports are limited to the functions Linktree exposes rather than a portable site bundle.
vs Linktree ProThe free plan keeps Linktree branding and materially weaker analytics, customization, marketing integrations, and custom-domain control than Linktree Pro.

Is there a free alternative to Linktree Pro?
Yes: LinkStack, Carrd, Linktree Free. Every tool on this page is either open source or genuinely free to use long-term: no trials, no crippled tiers.
Should I just build my own Linktree Pro?
Our verdict is YES. A static page. The most obviously one-shottable thing on this list. If you'd rather build, the exact one-shot prompt is free at canivibecodeit.com/linktree.
