How-To on how to get started/Support : Excellent Tutorial by Link Tree to get started. Support? We love the tutorials in the HELP Section.
Contact in Bio
Description: We like Contact in Bio over Linktree just because of the Email button. It might seem silly but we liked having this button up top, where the free version of link tree- only allows you to have all social/email buttons up top together or on bottom together:
May not be a huge deal for people about having a bigger “email button” but linktree’s buttons only have https:// links, you cannot have a mailto: link in “linktree”.
For our “contact in bio” link tree, we were able to have a top button that is a mailto: link.

Beacons.ai
Description: Full disclosure, have not played with this one at all, but it is extremely powerful from what I’ve seen some of the leading “influencers” in digital marketing started adopting it. We have our own link tree that we manage through our website which we prefer, but this would be on the top of our list! Check out the gallery of beacons for some inspiration from their site. Such a clean look, and love the creativity from these creators.

Link Trees – Which one do you use?
Link trees are great and of these 3 I would probably recommend Linktr.ee for people who are just getting started, because it is pretty intuitive. Contactinbio we have an account but it isn’t the friendliest interface, but we did pick it at the time for the “email button” which was important to us. Beacons.ai would be the next one we would test, it looks clean and intuitive. There are plenty of others out there too, shorby, lnk.bio, and linkin.bio (from LATER one of the cool instagram scheduling apps).
So if you are using a link tree, do you like it? Let us know in the comments.
