EdgeURL vs
Linktree
Both platforms offer link-in-bio pages, but EdgeURL goes further with link shortening, A/B testing, smart routing, and custom domains. One platform for everything.
Key Differences
Link Shortener On The Same Identity
Linktree ships a separate tr.ee shortener as its own product. EdgeURL bundles shortening and bio under one identity -- track every link you share anywhere, with consolidated analytics across both surfaces.
No Commerce Fees
Linktree's commerce fees vary by plan and change over time -- check their pricing page for the current rates. EdgeURL has zero commerce fees on your store sales. Only the Hire Me marketplace has a transparent 15% platform fee.
A/B Testing & Smart Routing
Test different destinations and route users by device, location, or time. Linktree has no A/B testing or smart routing capabilities.

Shops cost calculator
EdgeURL's Store tab is link-out (passthrough) commerce -- visitors click through to the original product page, so EdgeURL never sees the transaction and charges 0% on every plan. Linktree Shops is hosted checkout with a per-sale fee that varies by plan. Different products, but here is the annual-cost math at your monthly sales volume so you can compare directly.
| Plan | Plan/mo | Fee | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edge Liteup to 3 store items | $0 | 0% | $0 |
| Edge Creator | $15 | 0% | $180 |
| Edge Pro | $39 | 0% | $468 |
| Edge Business | $149 | 0% | $1,788 |

Pricing verified 2026-05-18 against linktr.ee/s/pricing.
Stripe processing fees (~2.9% + $0.30 per sale) apply to both platforms and are excluded from this comparison. EdgeURL Free supports up to 3 store items; Creator and up are unlimited. Hire Me marketplace bookings on EdgeURL carry a separate transparent 15% platform fee (not commerce fees).
The Bottom Line
Linktree is great for simple bio pages. EdgeURL is the complete solution: link shortening, bio pages, analytics, A/B testing, smart routing, and custom domains all in one platform.
