Choose shapes if…
You want to arrange more than a list of links: galleries, featured work, folders, and tabs. You prefer editing words on the page and reviewing assistant changes before publishing.
shapes vs Linktree
One bio link. Two ways to build it.
Linktree gives you a dedicated link-in-bio tool with a free publishing option, mobile apps, and a wide integration catalogue. shapes is an alternative for people who want to edit the page itself, group content into folders and tabs, and build with an undoable assistant. shapes lets you build and publish one page for free, with a small shapes badge.
Written by shapes, not an independent review. Competitor claims link to official sources below; features and plans can change.

Start with how you want to edit.
In shapes, the page is the workspace. Select a block, change its words in place, or open its controls while the page stays visible. Cove, the assistant, changes the same draft through validated operations; its edits can be undone, and it cannot publish. That is the workflow to try if you are choosing a Linktree alternative for how it feels to use, rather than for another theme.
Both let you publish for free.
Both tools offer free publishing, with different limits. On shapes the free page carries a small shapes badge and asks search engines not to index it; Pro removes the badge, adds more pages and custom domain publishing, and allows search indexing without guaranteeing search visibility. Compare the free tiers on the details that matter to you, using the official pricing pages. Neither a private draft nor an assistant edit makes your page live.
Choose the tools your business actually needs.
Linktree’s official catalogue includes commerce, mobile apps, and third-party integrations. shapes focuses on the page: organizing your work, editing on a phone, and handing off to the services you already use. Do not choose shapes expecting it to replace a commerce platform.
Before you switch.
Is shapes a free Linktree alternative?
Yes, in the sense that you can build and publish one page for free on either tool. The free tiers differ in limits, branding and features, so check Linktree’s official pricing page against shapes’ before you choose.
Can I move my Linktree page automatically?
This comparison does not promise an automatic migration. You can recreate your content in shapes; check your links, media, provider connections, and layout before changing the link in your profile.
Does shapes have a mobile app?
shapes is a phone-first web application. Linktree lists native iOS and Android apps in its official feature catalogue.
