Tap Bio's FAQ describes it as very similar to Tap Bio's Instagram Links Card: a landing page of your Instagram posts that have links, where you add a link in a post's caption or in its dashboard. There are no cards or other page types. The FAQ lists $9.99 a month or $99 a year, with Tap Bio customers getting half off the first year ($4.99 a month or $49.50 a year), and says the team is exploring a way to move Tap Bio accounts over automatically. **Pick it if** you mainly used Tap Bio so that each Instagram post could have its own link. **Skip it if** you want one page for everything you do: it is built around your posts, not around you. ## For a simple list of links: Linktree Linktree is the default link in bio: quick to set up, recognized by everyone, and the free plan is enough for a list of buttons. Paid tiers (Starter, Pro, Premium) add appearance options, scheduling, deeper analytics and commerce; Linktree shows prices in local currency. One limit to know: Linktree does not support custom domains on any plan, so your address stays linktr.ee/yourname. **Pick it if** Tap Bio was mostly a list of links to your posts, videos or shop. More in [Linktree alternatives](https://makerhandle.com/compare/linktree-alternatives) and [Linktree vs Beacons vs Stan Store](https://makerhandle.com/blog/linktree-vs-beacons-vs-stan-store). ## For selling: Beacons or Stan Store **Beacons** puts a lot into its free plan, including a store for digital products and a media kit. Its help center lists a **9% fee** on digital product sales on the free plan and Creator Pro, and none on Creator Plus or Max. **Stan Store** is built to sell digital products, courses, coaching calls and memberships from your bio. Stan takes no fee on sales, but there is no free plan: Creator is $29 a month or $300 a year after a 14-day trial. Our arithmetic: a 9% fee equals $29 a month at about $322 a month in digital sales. Sell less and Beacons' free plan is cheaper; sell more and Stan's flat price wins. See [Beacons alternatives](https://makerhandle.com/compare/beacons-alternatives) and [Stan Store alternatives](https://makerhandle.com/compare/stan-store-alternatives). ## For a mini landing page: Taplink Taplink (not to be confused with Tap Bio) builds a page for your bio from blocks: links, text, FAQs, maps and forms. It has a free plan, and its own blog lists paid plans at $4 and $8 a month. Taplink has also written about the Tap Bio shutdown, pitching itself as the replacement, so read its comparison as marketing, the way you should read ours. **Pick it if** you run a service business and want a small sales page with forms in your bio. See [makerhandle vs Taplink](https://makerhandle.com/compare/taplink). ## For a real one-page site: Carrd Carrd builds simple one-page sites that you lay out yourself. It has a free plan on a Carrd subdomain, Pro Lite from $9 a year, and custom domains from Pro Standard at $19 a year. It takes longer to set up than a link list, and you are the designer. **Pick it if** you want a small website more than a link in bio. See [Carrd alternatives](https://makerhandle.com/compare/carrd-alternatives). ## For makers: makerhandle makerhandle is a page for people who make things: apps, games, shops, newsletters, side projects. Each project gets a card with a status, description, screenshot and, if you want, revenue verified from Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, RevenueCat, Buy Me a Coffee or Shopify. Links sit above your projects, analytics use no cookies, and there is an email signup box. It is free for five projects. Pro is **$20 a year** and includes a custom domain, so the next time a tool closes, you change one DNS record instead of every bio. Tap Bio pages [import in one click](https://makerhandle.com/import) until it closes. **Skip it if** you mainly sell courses or need a checkout on the page; makerhandle links to where you sell.
