the honest comparison
The best Linktree alternative.
Faster. Cheaper. Escapes in-app browsers. Not a tree — a ghost. Here's the side-by-side.
the honest truth
What most link-in-bio tools do wrong.
✕Most link-in-bio tools
- Make you sign up before you see a pixel of your page.
- Get trapped inside TikTok and Instagram's in-app browsers.
- Report 3× the clicks you actually got because bots count.
- Hide deeplinks behind a $10/mo upcharge.
- Slap their logo on your page and call it a "free plan".
- Load in 1.6s+ because they ship a 400KB tracker bundle.
✓linkboo
- Shows your page live on the homepage, before anything.
- Detects in-app browsers & escapes to the real one. Even on Free.
- Filters bots. Your numbers match your other tools.
- Bundles deeplinks into Pro. No upcharge, no asterisk.
- Pro creators remove the footer. Your page, your stage.

One loads before the other has started.
edge-cached load time · lower is better
54ms vs 1.4s — that's the difference between a page that's already there and one your visitor waits for.

We get your visitor out of the in-app browser.
The escape, in 180ms.
TikTok and Instagram open your link inside a scrubbed in-app browser — no autofill, no logins, no extensions. linkboo detects it on the first byte and bounces the visitor to their real browser. Linktree leaves them stuck. Even our Free plan does this.
