The best link in bio for musicians and bands
An artist page has a lot to hold: the new single, streaming links, the video, merch and dates. Here is which tool handles which part.

Two jobs, often two tools
Musicians usually need release links (one link per single that opens every streaming service) and a home page for the bio (everything else). Some tools do the first, some the second.
- Linkfire is a pro release tool: smart links, pre-saves and fan data, with a bio link too. From $21 a month billed yearly per its pricing page. See makerhandle vs Linkfire.
- Your distributor often includes a basic release link for free.
- A link in bio is the home: Linktree, Beacons or makerhandle.
Our pick for the home page: makerhandle
- Spotify, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram as icons, and Bandcamp or SoundCloud as links.
- The music video as a featured video that plays on the page, or your latest upload by itself.
- Release day, on time: a scheduled link swaps the pre-save for the stream link at midnight, with an optional countdown.
- Merch in a product grid from Shopify or Gumroad.
- Tips and a mailing list with the support button and a subscribe box.
- A QR code for the merch table.
Pro is $20 a year: your own domain with SSL, all nine templates, 12 products, a contact form, unlimited subscribers, a year of stats and no badge. See makerhandle for musicians.
