Linktree has four plans for a US visitor: Free at $0, Starter at $8 a month, Pro at $15 and Premium at $35, or $6, $12 and $30 a month billed yearly. If you sell digital products or courses, Linktree also takes a seller fee of 12% on Free, 9% on Starter and Pro, and 0% on Premium, with Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 on top of every plan. Prices vary by region. Checked 30 September 2026.
For a page of links, the monthly price is the whole cost. Once you sell through it, the plan you pick also sets how much of each sale you keep, and that changes which plan is actually the cheap one.
How much is Linktree a month?
Between $0 and $35, before any discount for paying yearly. Linktree's pricing page shows prices in local currency, so the figures below are what it shows a US visitor.
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly | Seller fee on a sale | Taken from a $20 sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linktree Free | $0 | $0 | 12% | $3.28 |
| Linktree Starter | $8 | $6 a month | 9% | $2.68 |
| Linktree Pro | $15 | $12 a month | 9% | $2.68 |
| Linktree Premium | $35 | $30 a month | 0% | $0.88 |
| Stakk | $0 | $0 | From 10% + $0.50, processing included | $2.50 |
The last column counts Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30, which is $0.88 on a $20 card sale, on every Linktree plan. Stakk's figure already has card processing inside it.
Is Linktree free?
Yes, and you can sell on the free plan. Linktree Free costs nothing a month and lets you sell digital products and courses from day one, at a 12% seller fee plus Stripe's processing on each sale.
What the free plan leaves out is mostly about the page. Linktree branding stays on it until Pro, and so do advanced analytics. If you only want a link list, Free is a complete product and there is no reason to pay.
If you sell, the free plan is still the right start while sales are small. A 12% cut of nothing costs nothing, which is more than a subscription can say. The question is when that stops being true, which is two sections down.
What does Linktree take from each sale?
Two fees, taken automatically. The first is Linktree's own seller fee on digital products and courses: 12% on Free, 9% on Starter and Pro, and nothing on Premium. The second is Stripe's card processing at 2.9% + $0.30, which applies on every plan, Premium included.
Linktree's guide to selling digital products says the fees are deducted automatically and are not refundable. So if you refund a buyer, the fee on that sale stays spent.
Our own arithmetic on Linktree's published US fees. Stakk takes $2.50 of the same sale, card processing included, with no monthly fee.
Which Linktree plan is cheapest if you sell?
It depends on your monthly sales through Linktree, and the lines fall in a narrow band. On fees alone, counting only the plan price and the seller fee:
Free is cheapest below about $267 a month in sales. Above that, the 3 points Starter saves are worth more than its $8. Premium is cheapest above about $300 a month, where the 9% on Starter costs more than the $27 a month difference between the two. Starter only wins in the gap between those two lines.
Pro is never the cheapest plan for selling. It takes the same 9% as Starter and costs $7 a month more, so the reasons to pay for it are on the page, not in the fee. Billing yearly moves every line down a little, since each paid plan gets cheaper.
Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 is the same on all four plans, so it does not change which plan is cheapest. It only changes how much each sale costs in total.
What do Starter, Pro and Premium add?
Mostly page and social tools, with the 0% fee bundled into the top plan. Starter personalizes the page and adds basic analytics. Pro removes Linktree branding, unlocks custom themes and advanced analytics, and adds mailing list integrations. Premium brings the 0% seller fee along with dynamic links and smart routing, data export, social media scheduling and unlimited Instagram auto-replies.
That shape matters if you are mainly here to sell. You cannot buy the 0% fee on its own: it comes in the same plan as the scheduler and the routing tools. If you would use those anyway, Premium is good value. If you would not, you are paying $35 a month for the fee.
Courses on Linktree are powered by Kajabi, and products can be priced from $1 to $10,000.
Where does your money go when you sell on Linktree?
Into a new Stripe account that Linktree creates for your store, even if you already have one. Linktree's selling guide says the money is available in that account right after a purchase, and you choose daily, weekly or monthly payouts to your bank.
The same guide says you are the seller of record. Refunds and chargebacks are handled in the Stripe dashboard, and disputes are yours to answer. That is the same position you are in on most direct-payout platforms, Stakk included.
The detail worth knowing is the new account. It is separate from any Stripe account you already run. Which platforms let you use your own Stripe account explains why that difference tends to matter later rather than on day one.
Does Linktree have order bumps or upsells?
No. Linktree's pricing page lists no order bump and no upsell on any plan, Premium included.
That is the main gap if the page has turned into a shop. Beacons has an order bump on its $30 plan, which our Linktree and Beacons comparison covers. For the whole link-in-bio group, which link in bio tools have a real checkout sets them side by side.
When would I send you somewhere else?
If you want the page, Stakk is the wrong choice. Stakk has no link-in-bio page builder, no link list, no themes and no social scheduling. It has no tips, no memberships, no subscriptions and no course hosting either, prices are US dollars only, and nothing can be priced above $999.
On price per sale, Linktree Premium beats Stakk once you are selling enough to cover its $35. On a $20 product that happens at about 22 sales a month. Whop beats both with 2.7% + $0.30 and no monthly cost, and Systeme.io charges no transaction fee on its free plan.
Want to keep your Linktree and add a checkout?
You do not have to leave Linktree to sell somewhere else. Keep the page and point its buy button at a Stakk product. Stakk costs nothing a month and takes from 10% + $0.50 a sale, card processing included. That is less than Linktree Free, Starter or Pro take on a $20 sale, and the money lands in your own Stripe account.
What it adds is the part Linktree's plans do not list. The order bump rides the same charge as the product, so it carries one fee rather than two, and the upsell after payment is one tap against the card already on file. Both ship on every account, and the layout came out of funnels that ran for agency clients before Stakk existed.
