Linktotem vs Carrd

Carrd isn't really a link in bio: it's a one-page site builder people use as one, and at $9 to $49 a year it's the cheapest thing here by a distance. What it doesn't have is everything a business page needs — no map, no opening hours, no menu, no booking — and its editor is English only. If you want design freedom and you'll build the rest by hand, Carrd wins on price.

Choose Carrd if…

  • you want to design the page yourself, element by element, and enjoy doing it;
  • $19 a year for a custom domain and forms is the deciding number;
  • your page is a portfolio, a landing page or a personal site, not a shop or a shopfront.

Choose Linktotem if…

  • you want opening hours, a map, a menu and a booking button ready-made, not embedded by hand;
  • you want a dashboard in Portuguese — Carrd's editor is English only;
  • you'd rather change words in a finished page than build one from empty elements.

Every row links to the page we read it on. Prices change and several of these vary by country — if a number here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.

What each one really costs

Carrd is priced per year and says so itself: $9 for Pro Lite, $19 for Pro Standard, $49 for Pro Plus. That works out around $0.75 to $4 a month, which no paid link-in-bio plan can match, our €5 Starter included.

Two things aren't in the headline. EU buyers pay VAT on top — Carrd's terms quote prices excluding sales tax — and the features people actually want, custom domain, forms, widgets and embeds, start at Pro Standard rather than Pro Lite. Payment forms, if you sell anything, need Pro Plus at $49.

Against that, Linktotem's free plan already gives you a page that knows what a business needs. The fair way to see it: Carrd sells you a canvas, we sell you a finished page you edit.

Where Carrd is better

Price, by a mile. $9 a year for three sites is less than two months of our Starter plan, and it's a genuinely good product at that price.

Design freedom. Carrd is a real builder with positioning, sections and custom CSS: if you want a page that looks like nothing else, you can make one. Our pages look like well-made link-in-bio pages, and that's the point of them.

It's also a different category, and we'd rather say so than pretend we beat it feature for feature. If what you want is a small site, Carrd is the better tool.

Moving from Carrd

People usually move for the opposite reason to price: the page grew into a business page and hand-built blocks stopped being worth the trouble.

  1. List what your Carrd page does today, including anything you embedded by hand.
  2. Start from a template here for your niche — most of those embeds become real blocks.
  3. Rebuild the forms as form blocks, so the answers land in one place instead of an inbox.
  4. Point your domain here once the Pro plan is on sale, or use your linktotem address meanwhile.
  5. Keep the Carrd site for anything that's genuinely a website rather than a link in bio.

Questions

Is Carrd cheaper than Linktotem?

On paid plans, much: $9 to $49 a year against €5 a month, and both publish for free. The trade is that a business page needs hours, a map, a menu and bookings, and on Carrd you'd build or embed every one of them yourself.

Can I use Carrd as a link in bio?

Plenty of people do. Carrd never describes itself that way — it calls itself a one-page site builder — so the link-in-bio parts are yours to assemble.

Does Carrd take a cut of sales?

No. Its payment forms use your own Stripe keys, so the money never passes through Carrd. Same as us.

Is Carrd available in Portuguese?

No. The editor and documentation are in English; the language setting only changes the published site's markup, not the interface you work in.

Can I use my own domain on Carrd?

Yes, from Pro Standard at $19 a year, with free SSL. You buy the domain separately. Ours comes with Pro, at €12 a month for 5 pages with their own domains.

Found a mistake?

We get things wrong, and competitors change their prices without telling us. If a row here doesn't match what you see on their site, write to us with the link and we'll correct the page.
