A free Linktree alternative, no subscription
Most people reach for a link-in-bio tool for one very small reason: Instagram allows a single link. The need is tiny. The trouble starts a few weeks later, when you want to change a colour, see who clicked, or remove someone else's logo from your own page — and almost everywhere, that is where the card comes out.
What becomes paid, and when
The pattern is nearly always the same. The basic page is free. Then comes the moment you want to remove the platform's branding, pick your own fonts, collect your visitors' email addresses, or simply learn how many people clicked. Each of those is sold separately, or bundled into a monthly plan.
There is nothing outrageous about that: these companies have staff and servers. But for someone starting out, running a corner shop, or posting twice a month, an annual subscription to change a typeface is out of proportion.
What stanmaxx does differently
stanmaxx is free, fully. No higher tier, no trial that expires, no feature behind a padlock. What you see in the editor is what you can use.
And your data is not sold. There is no ad network, no third-party tracker, no resale to data brokers. The email addresses your visitors leave you are yours: you export them in one click, and they go nowhere else.
What you actually get
- Unlimited links, with automatic previews for YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud and Dailymotion
- A design studio with more than seventy settings: fonts, colours, shapes, shadows, block styles
- Email collection, with export, at no extra cost
- A local business card with hours, phone, directions and a photo gallery
- Categories to organise your links, collapsible if you have many
- Crypto modules for those who need them, ignorable for everyone else
Should you move?
If your current page suits you and costs you nothing, there is no hurry. The question arises when you hit a wall: an option you want that requires a plan, or an annual invoice you can no longer justify.
Creating a page on stanmaxx takes a few minutes and asks for no card details. You can build it quietly, compare it with what you have, and only change the link in your bio if you prefer it.
Frequently asked questions
Is it genuinely free, or free with limits?
Free with no paid plan. There is no higher version to buy: the features in the editor are available to everyone.
Is my data resold?
No. No advertising trackers, no resale to data brokers. Email addresses collected through your page stay yours and can be exported.
Can I import my links from Linktree?
There is no automatic import. In practice, retyping a dozen links takes a few minutes.
