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.
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.
Our note
The zero sales fee is the whole argument, so work out what your current link-in-bio takes from you per month and compare that to $16.20 rather than comparing feature lists. Below roughly a hundred dollars of monthly product sales, the free tier is the right answer.

Short.io
Link shortening with the analytics attached
Short.io is a link shortener for people who care what happened after the click: country targeting, deep links into apps, and click data you can pull out rather than only look at. Custom domains are on every plan including the free one. The pricing page also converts into about twenty currencies, which is rarer than it should be.
