Kytelink vs Lnk.bio
The open-source Lnk.bio alternative
Lnk.bio is the anti-subscription link-in-bio, and honestly, we respect it. Kytelink just takes the idea further: every feature free, the code on GitHub, and your page on your own server if you want it.

Lnk.bio's pricing is genuinely fair
Lnk.bio is one of the good ones: plan prices unchanged since 2016, lifetime plans instead of subscriptions, and no platform cut of your sales. That's rare, and it deserves saying plainly.
The comparison isn't about cost — $24.99 once is fair. It's about what you get for it: Lnk.bio is a closed platform, so your page, your data, and your URL live on its infrastructure, with no export of the page and no self-host option.
Free is nice. Owning it is the point.
On Lnk.bio, removing the branding is a one-time purchase, a custom domain is a $39.99-a-year add-on, and advanced analytics start on the paid tiers. On Kytelink all of it is simply included: the watermark toggle, the domain, and the whole analytics dashboard.
More importantly, Kytelink's source code is public. You can read exactly how your analytics are collected, export your page as JSON, or run the entire platform on your own server. No lifetime plan can promise more lifetime than that.
Same values, different guarantees
Lnk.bio is a small independent company, and its longevity depends on staying one. Kytelink is a free, open-source project — if the hosted service ever disappeared, the code, your data, and your page would all still be yours to run anywhere.
For teams there's a practical gap too: Kytelink organizations come with roles, so a manager, editor, or agency can work on one page without sharing a login. Lnk.bio's agency plans manage multiple accounts, but each stays a separate login on its own page.
Moving over from Lnk.bio
Rebuilding a Lnk.bio page on Kytelink is a copy-paste session: your links, your bio, your avatar, one of 12 themes with your fonts and accent. If you paid for the Unique tier, nothing is wasted — it was a one-time purchase, and your new page simply lives somewhere you own.
If you were paying the yearly domain add-on, connect the same domain to Kytelink instead — it's included, so the $39.99 a year goes back in your pocket. Update your social bios last and the move is done with zero downtime.
