The costs that are not on the price tag
Seller fees. Linktree charges 9% on Starter and 0% on Premium; the free plan's rate is not shown on the pricing page. Beacons charges 9% on Free and Creator and 0% from Creator Plus up. Payment processor fees apply on top on every tool. If you sell $1,000 a month, a 9% fee is $90, which is more than the subscription that removes it.
The trial that becomes a bill. Linktree's Pro and Premium trials run seven days. Carrd's Pro trial needs no card. ItsMyLinks has no trial because there is nothing to upgrade to.
The domain. No price fixes this one. Linktree, Beacons, and Carrd's free plans put your link on a shared domain that Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook judge by everyone on it. A custom domain on a paid plan helps only if that domain has a clean history, and a freshly registered one does not. ItsMyLinks runs on its own domain, online since 2005, at no cost.

Which one should you pay for?
Pay for Beacons or Linktree Premium if the page is your store and you sell enough that 0% fees cover the subscription. Pay for Carrd if you want a designed one-page site with your own domain for under $20 a year. Pay for nothing if you want a page that holds your links and keeps working: ItsMyLinks is free with no paid tier, no ads, and no card, and the only feature it lacks is the store.
