Link-in-bio pricing does not stand still: plans restructure, fees move, free tiers gain and lose features, and the coverage of each change scatters across announcement posts and social threads that are unfindable a year later. This page is the fix: a single running log of pricing and plan changes across the link-in-bio market, each entry dated and sourced, kept in reverse-chronological order, with per-tool records of the current state and an honest statement of where our history for each tool begins. It exists for three readers: the user who wants to know what just changed and whether it affects them; the writer or researcher who needs a dated, sourced record instead of a rumor; and the future version of anyone who, a year from now, needs to know when exactly a price moved.
Two honesty notes that define the log. First, a changelog contains only what happened, verifiably: the log opens with one anchor entry, Linktree’s November 2025 pricing change, because that is the change our verified record supports, and it does not pad itself with invented history for other tools; each per-tool section states the date our record for that tool begins, and the log fills forward. Second, the publisher’s interest is disclosed as always: OwnBio maintains this log and appears in it; our own pricing changes, should they ever occur, get logged here under the same rules as everyone’s. The method section publishes how changes are watched and confirmed, the editorial policy governs corrections, and no entry ever rests on our word alone.
Quick answer
This is the running, dated log of pricing and plan changes across link-in-bio tools. The most significant recent change on record: Linktree restructured its pricing in November 2025, resulting in the current $0, $8, $15, and $35 monthly plan structure with commerce fees of 12% on the free plan, 9% on Starter and Pro, and 0% on Premium, verified July 2026 against Linktree’s official pricing page. New changes are added as they are confirmed, each dated and sourced.
Key takeaways
Pricing in this market moves, and the moves are poorly recorded; this log is the dated, sourced record, updated on change rather than on a calendar.
The anchor entry: Linktree’s November 2025 restructure, whose resulting state is verified as of July 2026.
Each tool’s section states where our record begins; history is never invented to look complete.
The watch method is published below, so the log’s coverage and its limits are inspectable.
The one-line version, quotable as-is: Pricing pages show you the present tense; a changelog is the only place the past tense of “free” gets kept.
What has changed? (The log)
Reverse chronological. Each entry: date confirmed, tool, what changed, source, and what it means in one line. Entries append above the anchor as they are confirmed.
July 2026
Log opens; baseline recorded
This log launches with the market baseline as recorded in our fees and free plans report: current-state rows for ten tools, of which Linktree’s is verified against its official pricing page and the rest carry last-checked status with sources linked. From this date forward, confirmed changes append here.

Linktree: pricing restructured
Linktree changed its plan pricing, resulting in the structure that remains current as of our July 2026 verification: plans at $0, $8 (Starter), $15 (Pro), and $35 (Premium) monthly, with commerce fees of 12% on the free plan, 9% on Starter and Pro, and 0% on Premium; free-plan pages carry Linktree branding and custom domains sit on paid plans. Source: linktr.ee/s/pricing, verified July 2026; the change itself was widely reported at the time. In practice: free-plan sellers pay the market’s highest logged commission unless they upgrade, and the $35 tier became the only 0%-fee path. This entry is recorded from its verified resulting state; the precise before-structure is asserted only to the extent our sources support it, which is the standard every entry here must meet. Cross-references: the fee ladder explained, the free plan today, is Linktree free.
Before November 2025
Our verified record begins with the anchor entry. Earlier pricing states for Linktree and all other tools are not reconstructed from memory or from other blogs’ unsourced recollections; where a credible primary source for an earlier change surfaces, it will be added below the anchor with its source, and until then the absence is stated rather than filled.
What is each tool’s current state, and where does our record begin?
The watch table: current headline state (from the fees report, status carried), the date our record for the tool begins, and the official source we watch. This table is the log’s coverage map.
Tool
Current headline state
Status
Our record begins
Watched source
Linktree
$0/$8/$15/$35; fees 12%/9%/9%/0%; branding on free
V = verified July 2026. LC = last checked; confirm at the source. “Our record begins” is the honest boundary of this log’s history per tool; entries never predate it without a primary source.
The reading of this table that matters: as of launch, this log’s deep history covers one tool, and its breadth covers ten. That asymmetry is the honest starting shape of any real changelog, and the table exists so nobody, including us, can blur it. Each 60-day pass on the fees report doubles as a sweep of every watched source here; differences found become entries; entries update the report’s rows; and the two pages cite each other by design, the report as the present tense, this log as the past.
The one row in this log we can keep accurate without watching anyone: our own. If OwnBio’s pricing ever changes, the entry lands in the log above under the same rules, which is a commitment this page makes in public on day one.
How do changes get into this log? (The method)
Four steps, published so the log’s coverage and limits are inspectable. Watch: every tool’s official pricing page in the table above is re-opened on the 60-day fees-report cycle, and between cycles, credible reports of a change (a tool’s own announcement, coverage citing one, a reader tip through the contact page) trigger an immediate check. Confirm: a change is logged only when the tool’s own official page or official announcement shows it; screenshots of the confirming state are archived with dates for the correction route. Log: the entry states the change neutrally (what moved, from what to what where the before-state is sourced, or from its resulting state where it is not), links the source, dates the confirmation, and adds the one-line practical meaning; editorializing beyond that line belongs in the guides, not the log. Propagate: the fees report row updates the same week, affected guides and comparisons get their re-verification touch, and the entry cross-references them, so a change flows through the whole site from one confirmed point.
The limits, equally published: this log covers the ten watched tools, not the whole market; changes a tool ships quietly between our passes are caught late unless reported; regional pricing variations are logged only when the official source states them; and promotional discounts are not logged at all (the log tracks structure, not sales). A reader who spots a change we missed makes the log better, credited if they want, via the contact page.
Why does a pricing changelog matter?
Because pricing pages are written in the present tense and memory is not a source. Three concrete uses. For users: when a tool you rely on changes its terms, the questions are when, what exactly, and what it means for your plan, and an entry here answers all three with a link; the guides (the free plan today, the alternatives) then carry the what-to-do. For writers and researchers: a dated, sourced entry is quotable; “prices went up recently” is not, and the difference is the entire value of keeping the log. For the market’s honesty in general: free plans in this category have tightened over time in visible ways, and a public, dated record makes the direction of travel checkable rather than vibes; this log will show whatever the record shows, including any moves toward generosity. And the disclosure that belongs in this section rather than a footnote: OwnBio benefits when competitors’ prices rise, which is exactly why every entry’s standard is the tool’s own official source and nothing softer, and why our own row sits in the table under identical rules.
How should you use this page?
Bookmark-and-return: this is the page built for repeat visits; the “last entry” line in the hero tells you in one glance whether anything moved since you last looked. Before you commit to a paid tier anywhere: check the tool’s row here and its source link; a plan you price today should be priced against its current official page, not a review’s memory of it. When news breaks: a reported change appears here once confirmed against the official source, usually within the week, and the entry links what we confirmed rather than what was rumored. For your own coverage: cite entries with their dates and sources per the format below; every citation that includes the source link keeps the chain honest.
How to cite this log
Suggested citation:OwnBio Research, “Link-in-Bio Pricing Changelog,” ownbio.app/research/pricing-changelog, entry dated [entry date]. Cite individual entries with their dates and their primary sources (the log confirms and compiles; the tool’s own page is the origin). The page updates in place, entries are append-only and never silently edited (corrections are logged as corrections, dated), and the permalink is stable. No ads, no affiliate links, no sponsorships. Questions, corrections, and tips: the contact page.
The row we never have to watch is the free plan that stays free.
No watermark, analytics, lead capture, and export on the free plan, and if that ever changes, you will read it here first, logged under the same rules as everyone else.
Linktree restructured its pricing in November 2025, resulting in the current structure verified July 2026: plans at $0, $8, $15, and $35 monthly, with commerce fees of 12% on free, 9% on Starter and Pro, and 0% on Premium. The anchor entry above records it with the source, and the free-plan guide covers what it means today.
What does Linktree cost now?
As of the July 2026 verification against Linktree’s official pricing page: $0 for the free plan (with Linktree branding and a 12% commerce fee), $8 for Starter, $15 for Pro (both with 9% fees), and $35 for Premium (0% fee). Custom domains sit on paid plans. The fees report carries the full gate-by-gate breakdown.
How do I find out when a link-in-bio tool changed its pricing?
Check the tool’s row in the watch table above and the log entries for it: each confirmed change is dated and linked to the official source. If our record for the tool begins after the change you are looking for, the row says so honestly, and the tool’s own announcements are the primary trail.
Why does the log only have deep history for Linktree?
Because a changelog records what happened verifiably, and inventing backdated entries to look complete would poison the asset. Our verified record opens with the November 2025 Linktree change; every other tool starts from the July 2026 baseline, and earlier changes are added only when a primary source for them surfaces.
How quickly are changes added?
Usually within the week of a change surfacing: reports trigger an immediate check, and an entry is logged once the tool’s own official page or announcement confirms it. Quiet changes between our 60-day sweeps are caught late unless a reader reports them, which the method section states as a known limit.
Does this log cover discounts and sales?
No: it tracks structural changes, plan prices, fee percentages, gate movements, and free-tier changes, not promotional discounts, which are temporary by design and would bury the signal. Regional pricing variations are logged only when the official source states them explicitly.
Will OwnBio log its own price changes here?
Yes, under the same rules as every entry: dated, stated neutrally, with the change visible on our own pricing page as the source. The commitment is made publicly at launch and is worth what the log’s track record makes it, which is the correct amount of trust to extend any publisher’s promise.
Can I trust a log published by a competitor of the tools it covers?
Trust the method, not the publisher: every entry requires the tool’s own official source, entries are append-only with corrections logged as corrections, the watch method and its limits are published, and the conflict is disclosed where it belongs. If any entry fails that standard, the editorial-policy route exists to make us fix it in public.
What is the difference between this log and the fees report?
Tense: the fees report is the present (the current cross-tool state, re-verified every 60 days), and this log is the past (what changed, when, sourced). They cite each other by design, a confirmed change here updates the report’s row the same week, and a reader deciding today should read the report first.
Can I cite entries from this log?
Yes: cite the entry with its date and its primary source, since the log confirms and compiles while the tool’s own page is the origin. Entries are append-only and never silently edited, the permalink is stable, and the suggested citation format is in the how-to-cite section above.
