The Best Linktree Alternatives for Musicians in 2026

October 27, 20268 min read

Short answer: if you mostly need a place for your releases and shows, a music-first page like SongPort for Artists fits better than Linktree. If you sell merch, courses, or digital products from your bio, Beacons or Linktree's paid plans make more sense. And if you run paid ads with pre-saves, look at Feature.fm.

Linktree is fine. Really. But it was built for everyone: coaches, cafés, podcasters, shops. A musician's bio link has a different job. Someone just heard your song in a video, tapped your name, and wants to listen. Every extra step between that tap and the song costs you a listener.

So here is what matters for musicians, and how the main options stack up.

What a musician's link in bio has to do

Before comparing tools, it helps to know what fans actually look for when they tap your bio. In roughly this order:

  1. Your newest release, and a way to play it in their app.
  2. Your next show, with a ticket link.
  3. Everything else you released, for the fans who want to dig.
  4. One or two extras: merch, a newsletter, a pre-save.

That is it. A fan is not looking for a menu of twelve buttons. The tool you pick should make the first two things impossible to miss. (There is a whole post on this: what to put in your link in bio as a musician.)

Prices change often and differ per country, so check each pricing page before you commit. The prices below were checked on their own pricing pages in October 2026.

1. SongPort for Artists

Best for: artists who want their music front and center, without building a page by hand.

You get a page at songport.link/@yourname with your photo, a short bio, your socials, and your releases. The newest release sits in its own card at the top. Everything else goes in a grid below.

The part that saves the most time: paste one link to a single, EP or album from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal or SoundCloud. SongPort looks it up on the other five. No collecting six links per release, no copy-paste marathon.

When a fan taps a release, they see the apps it is on and pick theirs. The song opens there. Nobody lands in the wrong app.

A few other things worth knowing:

  • Shows: add a date, a city and a ticket link. A show leaves the page by itself after its date.
  • You control every link. Wrong match on one platform? Paste your own link or hide that platform for that release.
  • Order: newest first by default, or drag your own order. Pin one release to keep it on top.
  • Verified badge: SongPort checks that the page belongs to the artist it names. It is free and not for sale, on any plan.

Pricing:

Price€0€8 a month, or €72 a year

Every new page gets 14 days of Plus, no card needed. After that the page goes to Free and stays online. Nothing gets deleted, the extras are just hidden until you upgrade.

Where it falls short: no shop, no pre-saves, no custom themes yet, and three own links on Plus. If your bio needs to sell T-shirts directly, this is not the tool.

2. Linktree

Best for: artists whose bio link is more of a hub than a release page.

Linktree is the default for a reason. It is easy, it is everywhere, and it has a free plan with unlimited links. It also has music-specific link types that show platform buttons and an embedded player.

Fun fact: Linktree owns song.link, the smart link service many musicians already know.

The catch for musicians: every release is something you add and keep up to date. Linktree does not build your release list for you. And the extras sit on paid plans:

Linktree planPrice in Europe (monthly billing)Removes Linktree branding
Free€0No
Starter€6 a monthNo
Pro€13 a monthYes
Premium€32 a monthYes

Paying yearly brings that down to €4.50, €10.50 and €27.50 a month.

Pick Linktree if you have lots of non-music links (a podcast, a shop, a Patreon) and your music is one part of the mix.

3. Beacons

Best for: artists who sell things straight from their bio.

Beacons leans hard into selling: digital downloads, merch, booking requests, an email list. It has a free plan, Creator at $10 a month and Creator Plus at $30 a month (a bit less when you pay yearly).

The catch: on Free and Creator, Beacons takes a 9% seller fee on what you sell. That only drops to 0% on Creator Plus. Fine if you sell a little. It adds up if you sell a lot. And like Linktree, releases are links you add yourself.

Pick Beacons if your bio link is a storefront first and a music page second.

4. Feature.fm

Best for: artists running paid ads and pre-save campaigns.

Feature.fm is a music marketing tool. Its smart links, pre-saves and ad tracking are the main event. It also offers an artist bio link, which reviews describe as more basic than the dedicated link in bio tools.

The catch: the strong features sit on paid artist plans, and it is a lot of tool if you only want a page for your bio.

Pick Feature.fm if you spend real money on ads every release and want to track what each euro brings in.

5. Your own website

Best for: artists with a bigger catalog, a press kit, and some time.

A Squarespace or Bandzoogle site gives you full control and your own domain. It is also the most work: someone has to update it every release, and a full website is often slow inside the Instagram or TikTok browser.

Plenty of artists do both: a website for press and bookers, and a fast link in bio page for fans coming from social.

So which one should you pick?

  • You release music and play shows, and want that to be the whole page: SongPort for Artists. Start free, try Plus for 14 days.
  • Your bio links to many non-music things: Linktree.
  • You sell directly from your bio: Beacons.
  • You run ads and pre-saves every release: Feature.fm.

Whatever you pick, test it the way a fan would. Open your own bio link inside Instagram, on your phone, on mobile data. Count the taps until the song plays. Fewer is better. Always.

FAQ

For releases and shows, SongPort for Artists has a free plan with your 3 newest releases, your next show, your photo, bio and socials. Each release opens in the fan's own streaming app. Plus (€8 a month) shows every release and adds your own links.

Yes. Linktree has music link types with platform buttons. You add and update each release yourself, and removing the Linktree branding needs Pro, at €13 a month in Europe.

Usually yes. A website is great for press and bookers, but fans coming from Instagram or TikTok want to play a song in one or two taps. A light link in bio page does that faster.

SongPort for Artists has shows built in: a date, a city and a ticket link, removed automatically after the show. Linktree and Beacons can show events through integrations or blocks. More on that in how to add tour dates to your bio.

No. The badge means SongPort checked that the page belongs to the artist it names. It is not for sale, on any plan.
