StageLink vs Linktree for musicians
Linktree is the most established link-in-bio tool there is, and for most people it is the right choice. This page is about the specific case where it is not: when the person opening your link might book you.

When Linktree is the better choice
Choose Linktree if your page is mainly for fans, if you want a large design library, or if you rely on integrations we do not have. Its free plan also allows unlimited links, where ours caps blocks at five. It is a more mature product with a far bigger team, and pretending otherwise would not help you decide.
The actual difference
Both tools give you a page of links. The divergence is everything that is not a link.
A promoter deciding whether to book you needs a bio, photos, a play history, a contact address and a technical rider. None of those are link-shaped, so on a general link-in-bio tool they end up as attachments in an email — which is where they go stale.
- StageLink holds them as first-class parts of the profile: an EPK with a print view, and a rider built from an equipment catalogue so a venue reads model numbers.
- Linktree does not model any of it, because that is not the problem it set out to solve.
A note on analytics
Both products report views and clicks, but not on the same plans: Linktree’s basic analytics begin on its paid Starter tier, while StageLink includes views, clicks and click-through rate on the free plan.
One behavioural difference worth knowing: StageLink excludes visits from your own logged-in account, because counting your own previews inflates the numbers you then use to make decisions.
Who should actually switch
If you are playing shows, pitching promoters, or being asked for a press kit, the documents are the reason to move. If you are not doing any of those yet, switching gains you very little, and you can come back when it does.
Can I keep my Linktree while I try StageLink?
Yes. Nothing is exclusive. The only thing worth avoiding is two pages both presenting themselves as the main one — pick which URL goes in your bio.
Is StageLink cheaper?
They are broadly comparable, and price is a bad reason to pick either. Compare what the free plan gives you against what you actually need: unlimited links, or a press kit and a rider.
Do I lose my links if I move?
No, but there is no automatic import — you re-enter them. For most artists that is fifteen minutes, since a link list is short by design.
No credit card required.
