Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Bitly
Short links, QR codes and a bio page
Bitly shortens and brands links, makes QR codes that stay editable after they have been printed, and builds a link-in-bio page from the same account, with click data under all three. The free plan is five links a month and carries advertising. What the money buys is the branded domain and the reporting behind it.
Our note
For a bio link alone this is expensive next to Linktree or Zaap. It earns the money when the same links are going onto packaging and into a campaign report, which is the job the cheaper ones do not do.

Komi
A link in bio that keeps the whole sale
Komi is a creator's mini-site rather than a list of links: content, affiliate links, an email capture and a shop, with brand deals surfaced from inside the same account. The paid tier states no fee on digital product sales, which is the number that decides this category once anybody is actually selling. The free tier is a real one. It is opinionated about layout, and somebody who wants a blank canvas should build a site instead.
