These are different tools that happen to share a bio link. Linktree routes an audience you already have to places they can follow you. Amty gives a client who's never met you a reason to hire you. Plenty of freelancers eventually want both — but if the goal is paid work, the order matters.
An honest comparison starts with what we don't do.
| Dimension | Amty | Linktree |
|---|---|---|
| What a stranger learns about you | What you do, who it's for, your services, your background, and how to start a project — a pitch, not a menu. | A list of destinations. The visitor does the work of figuring out what you offer, if they stay. |
| Turning interest into work | A project-inquiry form with a leads inbox and instant email alerts — inquiries arrive structured, not as DMs. | Buttons out to your DMs or email; there's no inquiry capture of its own on the core product. |
| Professional impression | Reads as a business with an address of its own — something you can put in a proposal footer. | Reads as a social bio. Fine for followers; thin for a client deciding whether to trust you with a budget. |
| Setup effort | 15–30 minutes — write your positioning, services, and story into a form. | Five minutes of pasting links. Genuinely faster. |
| Price | Build free; publish from $9/mo (or $99/yr) at yourname.amty.page with the inbox, alerts, and your domain. | Free tier covers basic linking; removing Linktree branding and unlocking features runs $5–$9/mo. |
| Creator monetization tools | None — no tip jars, no digital storefront. | Built-in ecosystem for selling to an audience. |
Ask what your bio link is for. If it's routing fans to your platforms, Linktree does that perfectly and Amty would be overkill. If it's converting a curious stranger into a paying client, a list of buttons quietly costs you money every week — put an Amty page there instead, and let it pitch, qualify, and capture the inquiry. Running Linktree for your audience and an Amty page for your business is a perfectly sane setup too.
It's one page, but it isn't a website in the sense a client means: it doesn't explain your services, show your credibility, or take an inquiry. It's navigation. A client-facing page needs to make an argument for hiring you — that's the job Amty's themes are structured around.
Yes, and it's a common pattern: keep Linktree in casual social bios if you like the convention, and make your Amty page the first button — or skip straight to putting yourname.amty.page in the bio. Proposals, invoices, and email signatures should always point at the real page.
A page with your name on its own address, describing your services in your voice, beats a branded link list in any client's eyes. That's not a knock on Linktree — it wasn't built to win clients. It was built to route followers, and it's excellent at that.
Building your full one-page site — positioning, services, story, contact details — is free, so you can see exactly how it looks first. Publishing it live at yourname.amty.page is $9/month or $99/year, with no badge, and includes the inquiry inbox with instant email alerts plus the option to connect your own domain.
Building your Amty site is free and takes half an hour — publish from $9/mo when you like it. If it isn't enough site for you, Linktree will still be there.
