One-page sites that cost less than lunch
Carrd builds the single page most people actually need: a bio, a link list, a launch page, a form that collects email addresses. Three sites are free and Pro is priced by the year rather than the month, which is why it keeps winning link-in-bio arguments on price alone. A site that wants a blog or a shop outgrows it fast.
Our note
The cheapest way to stop handing out a social profile as though it were a home page. If Linktree's monthly bill is the one you keep meaning to cancel, this is the version you own.

A link in bio site you build on your phone
Milkshake is built as a phone app rather than a website with a mobile view, so the whole thing is thumb-sized cards you swipe between while sitting on a bus. Hosting is free forever and the free plan carries unlimited links. Everything happens on the phone, which means there is no desktop editor when you want to write anything long.
