A website you own,
not one links page.
Linktree is the default link-in-bio tool, with enormous brand recognition and a fast free tier, and it is the right choice for a single bio link on Instagram or TikTok. Keep it for that. Move to Portfolio when you want a full multi-page website you own on your own domain, built from your resume in about a minute, with a matched designer resume and live ATS scoring. One is a links page, the other is a real site. The comparison below is fair.
Linktree at a glance.
A fair snapshot of what Linktree is and is not. It is very good at the one job it was built for, and that job is not the same as owning a website.
A single page of links that lives at a linktr.ee URL, made for social profiles.
You can publish a working links page in minutes without paying, which is the main draw.
The link in an Instagram, TikTok, or X bio that points followers to everything else.
Custom domains sit behind paid plans, and the page is still a single list, not a site.
If a one-time price on a links page is what you want, Lnk.Bio Mini is a peer option at 9.99 dollars one-time. Portfolio is a different product: a website, not a link list.
Linktree and Portfolio, judged fairly.
These tools solve different problems. Linktree is the best answer for a bio link. Portfolio is the answer when you want a full site you own, drawn from your resume.
| What you get | Linktree | Portfolio |
|---|---|---|
| Shape of the result | One links page | Multi-page website |
| Built from | Links you add by hand | Your resume, pasted once |
| Free tier | Yes, quick to start | Free to start and preview |
| Own domain with TLS | Paid plans | Yes, TLS handled for you |
| Designs | Themes for a link list | 60 site designs, 48 resume layouts |
| Matched resume | No | Yes, with live ATS scoring |
| Best for a social bio link | Yes, this is its home | No, use Linktree for that |
| Best for a site you own | Not its purpose | Yes, this is the point |
For the link in your Instagram bio, Linktree wins and we will not pretend otherwise. For a professional website you own, that is what Portfolio is for.
When to keep Linktree.
Portfolio is a resume-to-website tool, not a link-in-bio tool. If a bio link is all you need, Linktree is the better choice and you should keep it.
Move to Portfolio if you
- +Want a real multi-page website on your own domain, not a single list of links.
- +Have a resume to draft from and want the whole site built in about a minute.
- +Want a matched designer resume with live ATS scoring alongside the site.
- +Care that search engines and AI answer engines can read and cite your pages.
Keep Linktree if you
- −Only need the one link in your Instagram or TikTok bio. Linktree is the better tool for that, plainly.
- −Want the fastest possible free links page and nothing more.
- −Change your set of links constantly and want to tap them from a phone in seconds.
- −Do not have a resume or work history you want a full site built from.
Questions people ask.
Straight answers about moving from a links page to a website.
Is Portfolio a Linktree replacement?
Only if you were using Linktree as a stand-in for a website. Linktree is a link-in-bio tool and it is excellent at that. Portfolio builds a full multi-page site from your resume. If you want a bio link on social, keep Linktree. If you want a site you own, move to Portfolio.
Can I still use Linktree for my social bio?
Yes, and you probably should. Many people keep a Linktree link in their Instagram or TikTok bio and point one of its links at their Portfolio website. The two work well side by side, each doing the job it is built for.
Do I get my own domain?
Yes. Portfolio connects a custom domain and handles TLS certificates automatically, so your site lives at a domain you own. Linktree offers custom domains on paid plans, but the page behind it is still a single list of links rather than a full site.
What does Portfolio build from?
You paste your resume and Portfolio drafts a multi-page website from it, with 60 site designs and 48 resume layouts to choose from, plus a matched designer resume and a live ATS score. Linktree is built by adding links yourself, one at a time.
Is there a cheaper links-only option?
If a plain links page is all you need, Lnk.Bio Mini is a peer link-in-bio option at 9.99 dollars one-time, and Linktree itself has a free tier. Portfolio is a different category of product, a website rather than a link list, so it is not a like-for-like price comparison.
How do I check my resume before I build a site?
Use our free ATS score checker. It runs in your browser, stores nothing, and shows what an applicant tracking system can read in your resume before you turn it into a website with resume to portfolio.
