Linktree invented the link page. Phare rebuilt it for today: a page that's fast and good-looking, deeply customizable from the free plan, with stats that tell you what's working, without ever tracking the people who click. No cookie banner, no IP kept, premium at $2.99 a month. That's it.
Where Linktree has grown into a sprawling platform (store, payments, integrations), Phare does the opposite on purpose: one thing, done really well. And a different model underneath. Most of the big players fund themselves partly on audience data; Phare lives on its subscriptions. In practice, your visits are counted on the server, with no cookie and no IP. Privacy isn't a box to tick, it's how Phare is built.
| Phare | Linktree | |
|---|---|---|
| Customization on the free plan | Everything's open: colors, gradients, 9 fonts, buttons | The genuinely polished themes are on paid plans |
| Measuring without tracking | Yes, by design: server-side counting, no cookie, no IP | Third-party cookies and trackers |
| Cookie banner forced on visitors | Never | Depends on the tools and trackers enabled |
| Links | 10 free, unlimited with Spark | Unlimited |
| Link scheduling | Included with Spark, at $2.99/mo | Reserved for paid plans |
| Built-in store & payments | No, a deliberately light, fast page | Yes, a real strength if you sell |

If your link page is mainly there to sell (store, payments, ecosystem), Linktree is built for that, and does it well. But if you want a page that's yours first, fast, on-brand from day one, counting what works without monetizing your audience, then Phare doesn't just compete: it does exactly what it was made for, and for less.
Phare is free to start: your page in two minutes, no card required. See pricing, no surprises, promise.
