makerhandle vs solo.to

What solo.to does well

solo.to is a minimal link in bio. You get a clean page, a handful of style options, social icons and click stats, with a free plan and low-cost paid tiers. It is quick to set up and stays out of your way, which is exactly what many people want.

Plan names and prices have changed over the years, so check solo.to for the current details.

Where makerhandle goes further for makers

makerhandle shares solo.to's love of simplicity, but its unit is a project rather than a link:

• a status on every project: Active, Building, Acquired, On hold or Discontinued
• screenshots shown big in templates like Showcase and Spotlight
• verified revenue from Stripe or Shopify, with a check mark
• a public leaderboard ranked by monthly revenue
• an email subscribe box with double opt-in

It is still a two minute setup. The templates are designed so you cannot break the layout.

Stats that answer more questions

Beyond clicks, makerhandle shows visitors, bounce rate, visit duration, sources and UTM campaigns, countries and cities, devices and browsers, and subscribes, with realtime and CSV export. No cookies and no stored IP addresses.

On the free plan you see seven days. Pro keeps a year, so you can compare launches months apart. See analytics.

Which should you pick?

If you just need five tidy links, solo.to is a fine choice.

If the links are to things you made, makerhandle shows them better and adds proof. Free covers five projects, and Pro is $20 a year with a custom domain included. Try both and keep whichever page you are prouder to share. See pricing.
