HeyLink.me operates a link-in-bio platform that enables users—primarily social media creators, influencers, small businesses, freelancers, and marketing agencies—to consolidate multiple online destinations (social profiles, online stores, videos, contact details, payment links, lead-capture forms) under a single URL. The platform reports 11,720,636 customers across 195 countries, with the website localized in 40+ languages. Customers are acquired primarily through self-serve, product-led sign-up, with no named sales motion at the lower tiers.

The core technology is a no-code page builder supporting multi-format content embedding (links, media, e-commerce listings, lead forms, QR codes), backed by an integrations layer spanning social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X), music services (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Deezer, Tidal, Pandora, Audiomack), payment and cryptocurrency tools, NFT marketplaces (OpenSea), and mapping. The product surface extends beyond the core page to include 60+ free templates across verticals, KODE.link for QR code generation and Apple/Google Wallet digital cards, a 100+ app marketplace, a Custom Domain offering, an AdSense-based 'Earn Money' monetization feature, and an Enterprise API tier with white-label capabilities and 200+ integrations.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (i) a freemium subscription where the Pro tier is priced at $5.90/month monthly or $7/month annually (~23% discount); (ii) e-commerce transaction fees of 3.9% + 30¢ for Pro users and 9.9% + 30¢ for free-tier users; (iii) AdSense revenue share on user pages; and (iv) Enterprise and Agency accounts with custom multi-account pricing on a three-account minimum. The company is privately held, and the source material discloses no ownership structure, funding history, founding date, or financial figures.
