Linktree alternative with QR and save-to-contacts

When you think “link in bio”, you think Linktree, and deservedly so. It largely created the category, serves tens of millions of users, and its brand recognition is unmatched. But is it the right tool if you live in Turkey and your customers speak Turkish? This article gives Linktree its due, then compares honestly where it falls short and which gap linkzae fills.

Where Linktree genuinely shines

• Brand and trust. Everyone knows what a linktr.ee URL is. If your audience is international, that recognition helps.
• Mature ecosystem. Years of integrations, from music platforms to payments to email lists, give you many ready-made link types.
• Simplicity. Sign up, stack your links, drop the URL in your bio. Near-zero learning curve.

If you create content for an international audience in English and all you need is a stack of links, Linktree remains a fine choice.

Where it falls short for Turkish users

1. No Turkish interface

Linktree's dashboard is not offered in Turkish. Fine if you are fluent in English, but for a salon owner, a real-estate agent or a workshop seller, the panel language alone is a barrier, and the visitor-facing page is not a localized experience either.

2. The paid tier got noticeably more expensive in late 2025

In November 2025 Linktree raised its Pro plan from $9 to $15 a month, an increase of roughly 67%, with the Premium tier sitting around $24. If you have been on the free plan and were weighing an upgrade, the maths looks quite different from a year ago. Check the current number on Linktree's own pricing page before you decide: figures like these move quickly.

3. Commerce commission on the free plan

If you sell products or collect payments through Linktree, the free plan takes a commission of up to 12% per transaction (lower on paid plans). Small volumes barely notice it; growing sales do.

4. Contact saving is an afterthought

Linktree was born as a link list; a “save me to your contacts” flow is not at its core, and its vCard features are relatively new and in beta. In Turkey, the typical need is reversed: people want to be reachable first. Save my number, message me on WhatsApp, and let links be arranged around that.

The linkzae difference

• Turkish end to end: dashboard and visitor page alike (English also available).
• Business card at the core: one-tap vCard download, QR code, save-to-contacts as the page's main job, not a bolt-on.
• Invitations and RSVP in the same account: weddings, engagements, openings, with responses collected in one list. Linktree has no such layer.
• Link page + QR on the free plan: the core flow costs nothing.

Comparison table

Which one, when?

Stay with Linktree if your audience is international, you rely on platform integrations, and links are all you need. Try linkzae if your audience speaks Turkish, being saved to contacts matters more than link stacking, or you also need invitations with RSVP. Switching costs nothing: set up the new page, run both in parallel for a few days, then change the link in your bio.
