Earthlings vs Linktree
Linktree is the best-known link-in-bio service and has grown into a wider platform for creators and small businesses, with link in bio, analytics, bookings, forms, email integrations and selling tools. Earthlings is a smaller, free identity page built around a permanent Earth ID, a QR contact card and a 24-hour Today status. Here is how the two compare.
