Linktree alternative

A free Linktree alternative that shows your work, not just your links

Linktree and similar link-in-bio tools turn your bio link into a list of buttons. The Digital Profile is a free alternative that turns it into a full profile page instead, with your portfolio, résumé, services and contact details on the page itself, and your links where you still need them.

Linktree vs The Digital Profile

Linktree is built to send visitors elsewhere; The Digital Profile is built to show them who you are on the page. The table compares the two on the points people ask about most.

When is Linktree the better choice?

Linktree is the better choice when your audience mainly needs a menu of destinations: your latest video, a shop, a podcast, a sign-up form. If selling directly from your bio link or connecting a mailing-list service matters most, Linktree's paid plans include those, and The Digital Profile does not.

A list of links is also quicker to scan on a phone when every visitor wants something different. If that describes your audience, keep using a link-in-bio list; you can still add your profile to it as one of the links.

When is a full profile page the better choice?

A full profile page is better when people visit to decide about you: to hire you, book you, collaborate with you or check your background. They can read your bio, see your work, scan your experience and contact you without leaving the page.

  • Freelancers and consultants can show services, past work and a booking link in one place, and keep rates private.
  • Job seekers and students can share a résumé page or a student portfolio instead of a list of links.
  • Developers and designers can describe each project instead of linking to a repository or a gallery with no context; see the developer portfolio guide.

How to switch from Linktree to The Digital Profile

Claim a username, copy your links into the Links section, add the sections a list of links couldn't hold, pick a theme, then replace the link in your social bios. Your links come across by hand, so it takes a few minutes.

  1. Claim a username

    Sign up with Google and claim a username. If your Linktree handle is free here, using it keeps things familiar for your followers.

  2. Bring your links across

    Add your links in the Links section, up to 50, each with its own label and its own public/private switch.

  3. Add what a list couldn't hold

    Write a bio, then switch on the sections that apply: Portfolio for your work, Resume for your history, Work & Services for what you offer.

  4. Pick a theme

    Choose from ten free themes. Atelier, Spotlight and Reel lead with images; Monograph and Ledger lead with text.

  5. Swap your bio link

    Replace the link in your Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and LinkedIn bios. While followers adjust, you can add your new profile as a link on your old page.

Link-in-bio questions

Yes, in that it gives you one link to put in your bio. The difference is what the link opens: a full profile page with sections about you and your work, with your other links on it, rather than only a list of buttons.

Yes. It is a normal web address, thedigitalprofile.com/yourname, so it works anywhere a link is accepted: Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, email signatures and printed cards.

Up to 50. Each link has its own label and public/private switch. In themes that show icons, links to GitHub, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp get a matching icon.

Can I sell products from my profile?

You can list products with a name, description, price and image, and link each one to wherever you sell it or let buyers contact you. The Digital Profile does not take payments itself, so it charges no seller fees.

What visitor analytics does The Digital Profile show?

Your dashboard shows the total number of profile views. Repeat visits from the same visitor within a few hours, known bots and your own visits are not counted. It does not break views down by link or by source.
