Is Shopfolio a Linktree alternative?

It can replace your link in bio, but it's more than one: Shopfolio catches products with a browser button while you browse, builds shops out of your own photos and those products, and publishes them to a page on your own domain with every click tracked. If you only need a simple list of links, Linktree is a fine, free choice.

Can I move my Linktree to my own domain?

Yes — that's a core reason to switch. Your Shopfolio storefront lives on a domain you own (via a CNAME), so the equity from your traffic and any printed QR codes build on your asset, and switching tools later never breaks your links.

Is Linktree or Shopfolio cheaper?

Linktree has a free tier that's hard to beat for a basic link hub. Shopfolio has a free tier too, and its paid plans are a flat monthly subscription — never a cut of your sales — for the storefront, more storage, and your own domain. The question isn't which is cheaper; it's whether your bio link has become a shop that justifies the tools.

Does Shopfolio post to my socials for me?

No. Shopfolio doesn't schedule or publish to Instagram, Pinterest, or anywhere else — you post however you already do. What it gives you is the thing you link to: a shop built from your photos and products, on your own domain, with a tracked link on every product so you can see which post sent people to it.

Shopfolio vs Linktree: When to Graduate From a Link in Bio

Written by the Shopfolio team

A Shopfolio storefront on the creator's own domain: shoppable products and collections, not a stack of text buttons.

Linktree earned its place. It turned "I can only put one link in my bio" into a solved problem for millions of creators, and for a brand-new account it's still the fastest way to get a working page up — free, in five minutes, no domain required. This isn't a takedown. It's an honest look at what a link-in-bio tool is built for, where it stops, and the point at which a creator who sells outgrows it.

What Linktree is genuinely good at

Speed and simplicity. A usable page in minutes with zero setup. Nothing beats it for a first link in bio.
A free tier that's actually usable. Most creators start (and many stay) on it without paying a cent.
Recognition. Followers know what a Linktree is and trust the tap. That familiarity has real value.

If your bio link is a simple hub — a few links to your latest video, your newsletter, your Depop — Linktree is a fine answer and you can stop reading here. The rest of this is for creators whose bio link has become a storefront.

Where a link in bio stops

The moment you're using that page to sell — routing shoppers to products, tracking what converts, running seasonal edits — you start hitting the ceiling of a link list:

It's a list, not a shop. A stack of text buttons isn't product cards with images, prices, and collections. Shoppers browse a shop; they scan past a list.
It's on someone else's domain. Years of taps, backlinks, and printed QR codes build equity on linktr.ee/you, not on a domain you own. Switch tools and every link you've ever posted breaks at once — the point of our own-domain link in bio guide.
The analytics stop at the click. A link-in-bio tells you a button was tapped. It doesn't organize your products, health-check dead destinations, or let you rank items by outbound clicks so you know what to feature next.
Filling it is still all manual. A link page is a destination and nothing else. It doesn't catch products while you browse, pull a whole LTK post or ShopMy collection in one go, or notice when a link you added last spring has gone dead.

What Shopfolio is instead

Shopfolio isn't a nicer list of links — it's the workshop behind the page, with the storefront as the part your audience sees:

A real storefront on your own domain. Product cards with images and prices, curated collections ("Summer edit", "My apartment"), embeddable into your blog and email — living on you.com, not a subdomain you rent.
Capture and organize. Save products as you browse with a browser button, or pull every product off one of your own LTK posts, ShopMy collections, or Amazon storefronts in a single action — then sort them into folders and reuse them across every shop.
A shop per drop, not one flat list. Build a shop out of your own photos plus the products in them, publish it at its own link, and it appears on your page — so "the linen edit" is a place you can send someone, not a scroll through everything you have ever recommended.
Tracked links with health checks. Every product gets a short link on your own domain; clicks aggregate per product, dead destinations get flagged, and you can re-point a broken URL once to fix every post that used it.

On monetization, Shopfolio is deliberately plain: it never sits between you and a retailer. Tracked /r/ links give you click analytics — not a commission the platform skims. One flat subscription, no cut of your sales.

The honest recommendation

Starting out, or just need a tidy hub of links? Use Linktree — it's great at that, and free. The day your bio link becomes where people actually shop — when you want product cards instead of buttons, your own domain instead of a rented one, and to know what's converting instead of just what got tapped — that's when you've outgrown a link in bio and want a shop. If you also run brand deals through a marketplace, Shopfolio sits alongside it; see how it fits with LTK and ShopMy.
