Comparison
A Linktree alternative you actually own
Linktree is quick, but you're renting a page on someone else's domain, with their branding and a monthly fee to remove limits. Bloom is a link-in-bio page you own outright - one HTML file, your own domain, animated, and yours forever for a one-time price.
The short answer
The main alternatives to Linktree are self-hosted link-in-bio pages you own instead of rent. A single-file HTML link-in-bio template like Bloom gives you the same tappable-links layout - plus your own domain, no monthly fee, no third-party branding, and full control of the design - for a one-time cost instead of a subscription. The trade-off is you host it yourself (which is free on Netlify or Vercel).
How they compare
| DigitalItUp | Linktree (paid) | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | One-time purchase | Monthly subscription |
| Your own domain | Yes | Add-on / higher tier |
| Third-party branding | None | Present on free tier |
| Design control | Full - it's your file | Limited to their options |
| You own it | Forever | Access ends if you stop paying |
| Hosting | You host (free on Netlify/Vercel) | Hosted for you |
When Linktree (paid) is the better choice
Linktree is genuinely better if you want zero setup and never touch a file - it's live in two minutes with no hosting to think about. If that convenience is worth a recurring fee to you, stay with it. Bloom is for people who'd rather own their page and pay once.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to host the Bloom page myself?+
Yes - but it's free. Upload the single HTML file to Netlify, Vercel, or Cloudflare Pages and point your domain at it. No server or build step required.
Can I use my own domain?+
Yes - since you host it, you connect any domain you own, with no upgrade fee.
Is it a one-time cost?+
Yes. You buy the template once and own it forever, versus paying monthly for a hosted link-in-bio.
