Where Shortfy goes further
8 free themes and 5 button styles
Pick from Indigo, Midnight, Dark, Light, Rose, Ocean, Forest, or Sunset — all free. Pair with Rounded, Pill, Sharp, Outline, or Shadow buttons and preview changes live. Linktree locks customisation behind paid tiers.
Richer content blocks
Shortfy supports 7 block types: links, social icon rows, section headers, image links, email/phone shortcuts, and inline YouTube or Spotify embeds. Linktree offers basic links and limited extras on paid plans.
A full URL shortener, not just a page
Linktree gives you a profile page. Shortfy gives you that plus individual short links (shortfy.co/your-slug) for emails, paid ads, print, and anywhere else you need a trackable link. All analytics in one place.
Deeper analytics on the free tier
Linktree locks per-link click data behind a paid plan. Shortfy shows click counts for every link on the free tier. Geo and device breakdowns unlock on Pro — at a lower price than Linktree's equivalent.
QR codes — free, no watermarks
Every short link and your profile page can generate a downloadable QR code at no cost. Linktree includes QR codes on paid plans only.
A REST API for developers
Shortfy exposes an API so you can create and manage links programmatically. Linktree has no public API. If you build tools, run automations, or integrate with your own apps, Shortfy is the obvious choice.
Link expiration dates
Set a short link to auto-expire after an event, sale, or promotion ends. Linktree has no equivalent feature.
When might Linktree be better?
Linktree has a larger ecosystem of third-party integrations (Mailchimp, Shopify, etc.) on its paid tiers. If a specific native integration is your primary requirement, Linktree may suit you better. For everyone who values analytics, short links, QR codes, page themes, rich content blocks, and API access — Shortfy covers more ground at a lower cost.
