Compare the workflow you need today, verify current plan details, and test a real page before moving the address you share with your audience.
Looking for a Linktree alternative is easier when you define what you want to change. Maybe you need more design control, clearer analytics, or a different editing experience. A long feature list does not tell you whether a tool fits your work. This checklist helps you evaluate that fit. It is written by Links2, so use it as a set of questions and verify every provider’s current details yourself.
Write down your must-have workflow
Start with what visitors need to do and what you need to maintain. A shop may need a collection link and an image. A freelancer may need headings, selected work, and an inquiry link. A creator may need a newsletter destination and a video. Split your list into essential features and things that would merely be nice to have.
Include operational needs such as account access, support, and what happens when you stop paying. If you need multiple people to edit the same page, verify that explicitly. Links2 currently gives each customer one profile and does not provide team accounts.
Build a sample page before comparing screenshots
Try the same name, bio, and three links in each shortlisted tool. Check whether the fonts, colours, spacing, images, and button shapes let you present your work clearly. Then open the result on a phone instead of evaluating only the editor.
In Links2, Free includes every existing theme, colour and button-shape controls, backgrounds, and support for links, text, headings, images, and supported embeds. The useful question is whether those controls are enough for your page, not how many settings appear in a menu.
Check limits against real use
Read the current pricing page for link limits, storage, analytics history, branding, and any feature you cannot work without. Compare the total cost of the plan that meets your requirements, including any separate email or booking service you expect to use.
Links2 Free currently includes 100 links, 25 MB of image storage with a 5 MB individual file limit, and 30 days of analytics history. Optional paid capabilities depend on availability; check the current pricing page before planning around them. Do not choose a tool based on a feature that is only described as coming soon.
Ask what the analytics actually measure
Find out whether a dashboard reports events, unique visitors, destination conversions, or some combination. Check the retention period and timezone. A longer history is useful only if the measurement answers your questions.
Links2 reports anonymous view and click events, including per-link and social-icon click rankings. It does not make those clicks into confirmed sales or subscribers. If you need business outcomes, test the records and reporting in the checkout, booking, or email platform where those actions happen.
Plan the move before changing your public link
Make an inventory of every destination, social icon, image, and place you share your existing page address. Recreate the essential page, test it while signed out, and check that the link labels still match the destinations. Keep a copy of the information you need so you are not relying on memory.
Update the most visible placements first, then check older profiles, email signatures, and printed material. A new service does not automatically redirect an address from your previous provider. Verify whether the old address can remain active or redirect before assuming existing links and QR codes will keep working.
