Linktree is the most recognised name in link-in-bio. But recognition doesn't mean it's the right tool — especially if you're a UK freelancer who needs SEO, tax tools and a real business dashboard.

You just need a simple, recognisable link page
Visual customisation is your top priority
You have an established global audience
You don't need SEO, tax tools or cashflow
Brand recognition matters more than features
You're a UK freelancer or sole trader
You want to rank on Google — not just share links
You need UK tax and cashflow tools built in
You want an AI assistant that actually helps
You want more than Linktree offers for less money
Linktree's free plan exists but it's designed to push you toward paid. Analytics are locked. Scheduling is locked. Custom backgrounds, priority links and email capture are all paid features. For UK freelancers, the bigger problem is that even the paid plans are priced in USD — $5/month converts to around £4 but with bank conversion fees you're paying more than that, with no GBP option.
This is the fundamental gap. Linktree is designed to route traffic from social media — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube — to your other links. It has no SEO tools, no ability to rank in Google search results and no way to help you get found by people who aren't already following you. WantMy.Link includes full SEO scoring, a task tracker with specific fixes and a leaderboard that benchmarks your score against other profiles in your niche.
Linktree does one thing well — presents your links on a clean page. WantMy.Link includes that plus cashflow tracking, UK tax calculations, an AI assistant, brand sponsorship marketplace, bank partnerships, focus tools, a messaging system and a follower network. For UK freelancers running an actual business, the difference matters.
Is Linktree actually free?
Linktree has a free plan but it heavily restricts analytics, link scheduling, custom domains and most design options. To get meaningful features you need the Starter plan at $5/month or the Pro plan at $24/month — both priced in USD with no GBP option.
How much does Linktree cost?
Linktree's free plan is limited. Paid plans start at $5/month (Starter), $9/month (Pro) or $24/month (Premium). All USD — UK users pay conversion fees on top. WantMy.Link Pro is £4/month with no conversion cost.
Does Linktree help with SEO?
No. Linktree profiles are not optimised for Google search. There are no SEO tools, no scoring, no task tracker. Your Linktree profile will not rank in search results. WantMy.Link includes full SEO scoring and a task tracker specifically designed to help your profile rank.
What does Linktree's free plan include?
Linktree's free plan includes unlimited links and basic customisation but locks analytics, scheduling, priority link highlighting, custom backgrounds and email capture behind paid tiers. WantMy.Link's free plan includes SEO tools, cashflow tracking, UK tax tools and Chantelle® AI.
Is there a better free Linktree alternative for UK freelancers?
WantMy.Link is built specifically for UK freelancers and sole traders. It includes everything Linktree's free plan has plus SEO scoring, UK tax calculations, cashflow tracking, bank partnerships and an AI assistant — all free, all in GBP.
SEO tools, UK tax calculations, cashflow tracking and an AI assistant — everything Linktree doesn't have, free to start.

Looking for a Linktree alternative with more built-in tools? WantMy.Link sits in a different category from standard link pages — it combines a digital storefront, SEO scoring, income tracking, and a deep work session manager in one free product. No transaction fees, no upsell for basic analytics.
Unlike Beacons or Bio.link, WantMy.Link includes a cashflow planner with UK and US tax support, a free Pomodoro and deep work timer, a social post generator, and a built-in remote work marketplace. The free tier goes further than most paid plans on competing tools.
If you are a freelancer or solo business owner who has outgrown a plain link page, WantMy.Link gives you a lightweight business operating system — all accessible from one link. Compare the full feature set above.
