Social media platforms try all they can to keep users within the confines of their walled gardens. This is often done by restricting outbound links as much as possible, which has long been a point of contention for creators and influencers looking to monetize their audiences on these sites.
Platforms like Instagram and Twitter allow you to share just one line within your bio, which is hardly enough to showcase the full extent of your blog, projects, products, and portfolios, among other things, leaving serious users and influencers at a significant disadvantage.
This is where LinkTree comes in, with its simple yet elegant platform that lets you do all this and more, while still only sharing one short URL. The tool has made quite a splash within a relatively short time and now features prominently in the bios of most influencers, big and small.
But what else is out there? We take a look at the top 15 LinkTree alternatives you can use.
The best LinkTree alternatives reviewed: 15 link-in-bio tools to consider

10. ShortStack

It is perfect if you’re looking to lead your audiences on social media platforms towards an interactive quiz or survey, which eventually results in a lead, sale, or opt-in.
