# makerhandle vs Squarespace Bio Sites

> Squarespace Bio Sites is a free link in bio on bio.site. makerhandle is built for makers, with project status, verified revenue and private analytics.

Bio Sites is Squarespace's free link in bio, made in the Unfold app. makerhandle is a page made for people who build products.

## What Bio Sites does well

Squarespace Bio Sites is a free, mobile-first link in bio, built in Squarespace's Unfold app or on the web. Pages live on a bio.site address, and Squarespace says you do not need a Squarespace subscription to make one. It offers templates, simple analytics, and blocks for things like selling digital products, tips and collecting email addresses.

If you already use Unfold for social content, it fits right into that workflow.

## Made for makers

makerhandle is organized around **projects** rather than blocks. Every project has a status (Active, Building, Acquired, On hold or Discontinued), a description, tags and a screenshot. Seven templates lay them out for you, including **Terminal** for developers and **Showcase** for screenshot-led portfolios.

Revenue can be **verified** from Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, RevenueCat or Shopify with read access, and shows a check mark. That is not something a general link in bio offers.

## Analytics and privacy

makerhandle analytics go deeper than clicks: visitors, bounce rate, visit duration, sources and UTM campaigns, countries and cities, devices and browsers, project clicks and subscribes, with realtime and CSV export.

They use **no cookies** and store **no IP addresses**, which keeps your privacy policy simple. See [analytics](https://makerhandle.com/features/analytics) and our guide on [link in bio and GDPR](https://makerhandle.com/blog/link-in-bio-cookie-banner-gdpr).

## Which should you pick?

Pick **Bio Sites** if you want a free page tied to the Squarespace and Unfold tools you already use, especially for selling small digital items.

Pick **makerhandle** if your links are products you built. Free covers five projects, and **Pro is $20 a year** for a custom domain with SSL, every template and a year of stats. See [pricing](https://makerhandle.com/pricing).
