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