# The best link in bio for musicians and bands

> The best link in bio for musicians: release links, Spotify, music videos, merch and tour dates on one page. Linkfire, Linktree and makerhandle compared.

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](https://makerhandle.com/compare/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](https://makerhandle.com/features/video-and-podcast) that plays on the page, or your latest upload by itself.
- **Release day, on time:** a [scheduled link](https://makerhandle.com/features/scheduled-links) swaps the pre-save for the stream link at midnight, with an optional countdown.
- **Merch** in a [product grid](https://makerhandle.com/features/products) from Shopify or Gumroad.
- **Tips and a mailing list** with the [support button](https://makerhandle.com/features/support) 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](https://makerhandle.com/for/musicians).
