Outli.ne vs Linktree
Linktree is often the first tool people reach for when they hit the "one link in bio" limit. But as creators grow, many notice a gap: people click the link, but they don't convert.
What Linktree is designed to do
Linktree is a link router. Its job is simple: take one URL and use it to send people to many destinations.
That simplicity is its biggest strength. Linktree works well when:
- you want to rotate links frequently
- your audience already knows who you are
- you're sending traffic away (YouTube, Spotify, shops)
- you want a fast, free setup
Where Linktree falls short
The moment your link needs to do more than redirect, friction appears. On a typical Linktree page:
- your work isn't visible
- your services aren't explained
- your credibility isn't established
- visitors must click away to understand you
The silent problem: people don't click because they don't have enough context to feel confident.
What Outli.ne does differently
Outli.ne is a swipeable portfolio, not a list of links.
Show your work
Swipe through examples and projects
Explain services

Linktree answers: "Where should I send you?"
Outli.ne answers: "Here's who I am — now here's what to do."
Choose Outli.ne if...
- you sell services, expertise, or programs
- your work needs to be seen to be trusted
- you want your link to feel like a website
- you're tired of explaining yourself in DMs
- your goal is bookings, not just clicks
Best for: Stylists, coaches, consultants, designers, photographers, fitness pros, and personal brands.
Keep Linktree if...
- —you mainly need to manage outbound links
- —your offers change constantly
- —you're affiliate- or content-driven
- —you want a free, lightweight solution
- —your audience knows exactly where to go
In these cases, Linktree does its job efficiently.
Use them together
Many creators don't replace Linktree — they outgrow it. A common setup looks like this:
Outli.ne = main destination
Portfolio + services
Linktree = campaign layer
Top button points to Outli.ne
Linktree handles traffic.
Outli.ne handles conversion.
The real difference
If your link exists to send people elsewhere, Linktree is enough.
If your link exists to explain your value and convert interest into action, a swipeable portfolio performs better.
Linktree solved the link problem.
Outli.ne solves the "what now?" problem.
If your work, services, or credibility matter to the decision, a list of links isn't enough anymore.
