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.
A link in bio page that takes payments
Taplink builds a small mobile page out of blocks, and the paid tier turns it into something that sells: price lists, order forms, payment collection and a CRM behind them. That is further than most link pages go. The editor and the help text both read as translated, which is a fair warning about who the support team is.
Our note
Against Linktree the comparison is about what happens after the click. Taking a booking or a payment on the bio page is what the $4 buys, and a plain list of links needs none of it.
