Are you looking for a Linktree alternative that’s truly at home in Europe? Pastely combines a link-in-bio page, short links, and digital business cards all on one platform—GDPR-compliant, fairly priced, and with no annual commitment. Starting at €0/month.
With over 70 million users, Linktree is undoubtedly the best-known name in the "link-in-bio" space. But name recognition isn't a feature. If you take a closer look, you'll quickly realize that many features you'd simply expect are hidden behind paywalls on Linktree—or are missing entirely. Short links as a standalone tool? Nope. Digital business cards? Not available. And if you want to know where your data is stored—the answer is the U.S. and Australia, not Europe.
Pastely is different. Not because we’re louder, but because we’ve focused on what people like you really need: a platform that brings everything together—no gimmicks, no hidden costs, and with a clear commitment to European values.
Pastely operates exclusively on European servers and works only with EU-based providers. No data in Australia, no legal gray areas. For us, GDPR compliance isn’t just a promise—it’s the foundation of everything we do.
Link-in-bio, short links, and digital business cards—at Pastely, they all go hand in hand. With Linktree, the short link generator is just an add-on, and vCards aren’t even an option. You don’t have to juggle three different tools.
Pastely Professional costs €4/month, with monthly billing and no annual commitment. Linktree charges $8/month or more for comparable features—and has significantly raised its prices as of late 2025. Our free plan is truly free, with no expiration date and no hidden feature restrictions after sign-up.
Feel free to compare. We have nothing to hide. The table shows where Pastely offers more, where Linktree excels, and where we simply have different priorities.

If you're looking for a Linktree alternative, you probably have a specific reason. Maybe the prices have gone up. Maybe you're wondering where your data actually ends up. Or maybe you're looking for a Linktree alternative that's free to start with but still offers more features—in that case, Pastely is the right choice for you.
Linktree is the most widely used tool of its kind—and for good reason. The platform is easy to use, has a large user base, and offers integrations with hundreds of third-party providers. If you want to embed Shopify products on your link page, automate Instagram replies, or manage your social media calendar from the same dashboard, Linktree offers a robust system.
Pastely is not a social media management tool. We don’t build a shop system, automated DMs, or an AI content generator. We build the platform where your links find a home: link-in-bio, short links, and digital business cards—three things that actually always belong together but are offered separately almost everywhere.
Linktree significantly raised its prices at the end of 2025. The cheapest paid plan is now $8/month — billed monthly. If you want the cheaper annual rate ($6/month), you’re locked into a 12-month commitment. Pastely Professional costs €4/month, with monthly cancellations and no annual commitment. You can pause, cancel, and come back anytime—no strings attached.
This isn’t just fine print. Linktree is an Australian company. Your data is processed outside the EU. For businesses and influencers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, this can be legally relevant—especially if you provide a privacy policy where you must specify where data is processed. Pastely operates its infrastructure exclusively with European providers. Period.
Linktree is a legitimate choice—big, popular, functional. But if you’re looking for a platform that focuses on the essentials, takes European values seriously, and is fairly priced without pushing you into an annual subscription, then Pastely is the better choice for you.
Get started for free—and decide for yourself if you want more.
