Kytelink vs Bio Sites
The open-source Bio Sites alternative
Bio Sites is a genuinely free, well-made page from Squarespace. Kytelink matches the price and adds the ownership: a domain that's really yours, data export, team roles, and code that's public.

Two kinds of free
Bio Sites is genuinely free and well made, and that deserves saying plainly. It's free because it introduces you to Squarespace's excellent website builder — a perfectly reasonable model, and worth understanding when you choose where your bio link lives.
Kytelink is free for a different reason — it's an open-source project with nothing further to sell. The whole product is the product: links, themes, analytics, scheduling, domains, and teams.
Where your page actually lives
Bio Sites pages live at a bio.site address — a domain you own can forward there, but the bio.site URL is what people see and share. There's currently no data export or API, and pages are single-user.
Kytelink serves your page directly on any domain you own, free. Your links and settings export as JSON, organizations support real roles, and the code itself is public — the difference between using a page and owning one.
Longevity, guaranteed two different ways
Products inside large companies evolve with their priorities — the category's cautionary tale is Bento, which Linktree acquired and shut down in early 2026, and Bio Sites' own Pro plan was retired along the way. That's not a knock on Squarespace; priorities shift inside every large company.
An open-source page offers a different guarantee: it can't be discontinued out from under you. If Kytelink's hosted service ever ended, the code, your export, and your self-hosted instance would all keep working.
From bio.site to a page that's yours
Since Bio Sites has no export, the move is a short manual rebuild: recreate your links in the Kytelink editor, match the vibe with a theme and accent, and add the email or booking links you already use as regular links.
The upgrade moment is the URL. Instead of forwarding a domain to a bio.site address, connect your domain to Kytelink and the page actually lives there — the address people see, share, and remember is yours. Update your bios and the switch is complete.
