What Linktree does

Linktree is a software platform that operates the leading link-in-bio service, allowing individual creators, musicians, small businesses, and brands to consolidate multiple destinations (social profiles, stores, streaming platforms, content) behind a single customizable URL. Founded in 2016 in Collingwood, Australia, the company reports 70M+ users globally and serves customers ranging from individual creators like Selena Gomez, Pharrell Williams, and Tony Hawk to enterprise clients such as HBO, Comedy Central, and the LA Clippers.

The platform's core technology combines a customizable landing-page builder with an expanding suite of native and integrated tools: link shortening, dynamic QR code generation, social scheduling (via the 2024 Plann acquisition), digital business cards (via the 2025 Fingertip acquisition), digital product and course sales, audience email collection synced to Mailchimp/Klaviyo/Kit, commerce integrations with Stripe/PayPal/Square, and AI-assisted features for caption generation, hashtag recommendations, and Smart Insights analytics. Distribution is entirely self-serve through linktr.ee, the iOS App Store, and Google Play, with global reach supported by offices in Collingwood and San Francisco.

Linktree operates a freemium subscription model. The free tier offers basic functionality with Linktree branding; the Pro tier (approximately $110/year) and a Premium enterprise tier are subscription-based, with additional revenue from transaction fees on digital product sales, marketplace commissions on creator-to-creator transactions, and affiliate referral revenue. GTM is product-led growth with community-led and event-driven overlays: creators sign up directly, virally share their Linktree URLs across Instagram/TikTok/YouTube bios, and the company activates users at events like SXSW and through a Discord developer community. The business has scaled revenue from $25M (2022) to $61.6M annualized by mid-2025.
