What Is linkring and What Kind of Page Does It Create?

Updated

linkring is a link-in-bio service that builds a single page for all your links, with no scripts, under 10 KB of HTML, your own domain, no ads, and no linkring branding. It costs US$5 per month or US$50 per year. It suits people who want a fast, personal page for their work, side projects, and other links without a free-tier upgrade path or platform branding.

What the page actually is

A linkring page is one page that collects your links, images, and a short profile. The site describes it as "a real page, not a screenshot" — meaning it renders as normal HTML rather than an image or a script-driven app.

The renderer is held to a fixed budget: under 10 KB of HTML and no script. That constraint is the point. A smaller page loads faster, and with no script there is less to execute before anything appears.

The example page on the site shows a person named Alex with a short description ("Designer, curious person") and a set of linked sections: a collection, current projects, a bookshelf, and a contact link. So the structure is a profile plus grouped links, not just a flat list.

What you get for the price

The pricing page lists one plan at US$5/month or US$50/year (the annual option is described as two months free). Everything is included in that single price — there is no separate tier for domains, analytics, or removing branding.

Included Detail
Your page and colours Customize the page appearance
A domain you own Your own domain is part of the plan
All links, images, analytics history No caps mentioned
No ads None on your page
No linkring branding Your page carries no linkring mark
Export JSON in a documented format, plus the static files the CDN serves

The export matters if you care about portability: you can take the JSON and the static files and host them anywhere, with nothing of linkring's left in them. That is a real exit path, not just a data download.

How setup works

  1. Start with an email address and an available name. There is no password — you get a sign-in link by email.
  2. Claim your name. This becomes your page address (the example is linkring.to/alex).
  3. Add your links. The site describes room for work links, playlists, or "something you love."
  4. Edit on the page. Pick a palette, give a project the spotlight, and see changes as you make them.
  5. Publish and share one link. Put it in your bio, email signature, or anywhere else.

The whole flow is designed to be low-setup: no password to manage, editing happens directly on the page.

What happens if you stop paying

Your published page stays online and your domain keeps resolving. The editor goes read-only until you resubscribe. So cancelling does not take your page down — it freezes your ability to change it.

Who it fits, and who it doesn't

It fits if you:

  • Want a fast, script-free page rather than a heavier app-like bio tool
  • Want your own domain and no platform branding on the page
  • Value a clean export you can self-host later
  • Prefer one flat price over a free tier with paid upgrades

It may not fit if you:

  • Need interactive features that require scripts
  • Want a free option — the only listed price is US$5/month or US$50/year
  • Need multiple pages or a complex site rather than one link-in-bio page

The core trade-off is deliberate: one page, one price, small by design. If that matches how you want to present yourself online, the setup is quick and the exit is clean.
