If you run a business or create content in India, you have probably hit the same wall: Instagram gives you one link, and you need it to do the work of ten. Linktree is the name everyone knows — but it is priced in US dollars, it has no booking form, and its free plan puts its own branding on your page.
This is an honest look at the main Linktree alternatives available in India in 2026, what each one actually costs in rupees, and which one makes sense for which kind of business.
Quick comparison: pricing in rupees
Sticker prices are usually quoted in dollars, which hides the real cost — you also pay currency conversion and, often, a foreign transaction fee on your card. Here is what these tools actually cost an Indian user:
| Tool | Free plan | Paid from | Billed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linktree | Yes (with branding) | ~$5/month (≈ ₹430) | USD |
| Beacons | Yes | ~$10/month (≈ ₹860) | USD |
| Bio.link | Yes | ~$5/month (≈ ₹430) | USD |
| Clickfolia | Yes (free forever) | ₹99/month | INR (UPI supported) |
Prices as published by each tool and checked in July 2026. Exchange rates move, so treat the rupee figures as approximate.
What most link-in-bio tools are missing for Indian businesses
1. Appointment booking
A salon, a clinic, a coaching centre or a photographer does not just want clicks — they want bookings. Almost every link-in-bio tool, Linktree included, expects you to link out to a separate scheduling app. That is one more subscription, and one more step for the customer to drop off at.
2. Rupee billing
Paying $5 a month sounds small until the card statement arrives with conversion charges. For a small business, being billed in rupees with UPI is simply less friction.
3. Local discovery
If you are a clinic in Gurgaon, you want to be found for "dental clinic in Gurgaon" — not just by people who already follow you. Most link-in-bio pages are marked up as generic personal profiles, which means search engines have no idea you are a local business at all.
The alternatives, one by one
Linktree
Best for: creators who just need a simple list of links and recognise the name.
Linktree is the default for a reason — it is simple, reliable, and everyone has seen one. The free plan works. The trade-offs are the branding on the free tier, dollar billing, and the lack of any native booking or enquiry form. If all you need is a tidy list of links, it does the job.
Beacons
Best for: creators selling digital products.
Beacons leans into the creator-economy side: a store, an email list, media kits. It is more powerful than Linktree, and priced accordingly. For a local service business it is more tool than you need.
Bio.link
Best for: people who want something minimal and cheap.
Clean and fast, with a generous free plan. Fewer features than the others — which, for some people, is exactly the point.
Clickfolia
Best for: Indian businesses that want enquiries and bookings, not just clicks.
Full disclosure: this is our product, so treat this section with the scepticism it deserves — and check the others before deciding.
Clickfolia was built around the gap above. Paid plans include an appointment booking form on your public page and an inbox for the requests, so a customer can book without leaving your link page. Billing is ₹99/month in rupees. There is a free-forever plan with 5 links and analytics, and no card is required to start.
It also marks your page up as the kind of business you actually are — a clinic as a medical business, a salon as a beauty business, with your city attached — which is what makes a page eligible to appear for local searches rather than only for your own name.

How to choose
- You just need a list of links. Linktree or Bio.link. Free tier is fine.
- You sell digital products. Beacons.
- You take appointments or enquiries — clinic, salon, gym, coaching, photography, consulting. Pick a tool with booking built in, so the customer never has to leave the page.
- You want to be found locally. Make sure whatever you pick lets you set your business category and city, and check that it puts that into the page's structured data. Most do not.
The one thing that matters more than the tool
Whichever you choose: keep the page short. Four to six links, the most important one first, and a clear next step. A link-in-bio page that tries to be a website converts worse than one that does a single job well.
If booking is that job for you, Clickfolia is free to try — your page is live in about a minute, and you can move it elsewhere any time.
