Skip the templated link stack. Tell Minispace what you do; it ships a small designed site that holds your bio, your work, and your links — on your domain.
Minispace is a free Linktree alternative that gives you a real designed page on your own custom domain. Where Linktree gives you a vertical link stack at linktr.ee/yourname (with Linktree branding on the free tier) and charges $5–$24 per month for a custom domain or extra features, Minispace generates a small site from a conversation about your brand and ships it on free, ad-free hosting — with a $19 one-time custom domain.
Linktree is the right pick if you only ever need a vertical button stack and a sub-five-minute setup, and you want native in-platform tipping or simple commerce. Pick Minispace if you want the page to read as part of your brand — your typography, your colors, your domain — instead of as a Linktree skin. Minispace can grow into a bio + work + newsletter site without rebuilding, which Linktree intentionally cannot.
Three reasons. First, ownership: Minispace pages live on your own domain (or a clean minispace.ai subdomain) with no Linktree branding. Second, design: Minispace generates typography, color, and layout from a reference site you love, so the page looks designed rather than templated. Third, cost: $19 once for a custom domain versus $108 every year for Linktree Pro — and you can grow into a small bio site without paying more.
A few honest signals to help you decide.

A straight comparison of features and pricing — every row checked against publicly available information.
Linktree is intentionally a single vertical page; Minispace can be a small site.
Linktree has built-in analytics on paid plans; Minispace expects you to use your own analytics tool.
Yes. Minispace is free to build and free to publish on a clean minispace.ai subdomain — no Minispace branding on your page (unlike Linktree free, which puts a Linktree badge on the page). The only paid product is a custom domain at $19 once.
Both have free plans. The cost difference appears at the custom-domain step — Linktree Pro is $9/month billed annually ($108/year), every year. Minispace is $19 once. Over five years that is $19 vs $540.
Almost. Linktree is sub-five-minute; Minispace is more like fifteen — because the AI runs a short interview and builds an actual designed page rather than a link list. The trade-off is a result that looks like your brand, on your domain.
Yes, same as Linktree — drop the URL into any bio field. Minispace pages live on your own domain (or a minispace.ai subdomain), so the link looks more credible than linktr.ee/yourname.
Not natively. Drop in Plausible, Fathom, GA4, or PostHog and it just works. We do not lock analytics behind a paid plan.
Tips: link to Buy Me a Coffee or Ko-fi. Digital products: link to Stripe Payment Links or Gumroad. Paid newsletter: link to Substack or Beehiiv. Linktree has these as native features on its paid plans; Minispace expects you to bring the tool.
If a vertical button stack covers what you need, Linktree is fine. If you wish your link page looked like a designed site, was on your domain, and did not have ongoing fees — Minispace is the right move.
