Taplink vs Zaap Comparison 2026
Taplink's free plan is permanent and unlimited on links, and Business at $8 a month, or $96 a year, adds payment collection, a CRM, digital products and a custom domain with SSL, all on one tier. Zaap's free plan builds the page and collects addresses, and Pro at $9 a month turns on digital products and up to 25,000 marketing emails, though a custom domain waits for Ultra at $19. Taplink packs more into its cheaper paid tier. Zaap's case is the mailing list, since an address you own outlives a platform's algorithm.

Taplink
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.

Zaap
A bio link with a shop and a mailing list
Zaap is a link-in-bio page that also sells digital products and sends the email, so an audience arriving from a profile can be captured and sold to without a second subscription underneath. The free plan builds the page and collects addresses. Paying removes the Zaap branding and turns on the store, the blog and the sending.
Why people weigh these two
- Zaap instead of Taplink
- Zaap adds a digital shop and a mailing list to the link page rather than Taplink's booking forms and CRM, starting at $9 with a free tier.
- Taplink instead of Zaap
- Taplink takes payments straight from the bio page, with a free tier and plans from $4, cheaper than Zaap without the email sending built in.
Which one should you pick
Choose Taplink if payments, a CRM and a custom domain should all arrive on one affordable tier: Business is $8 a month, or $96 a year, and bundles what Zaap spreads across two tiers. The free plan is permanent and unlimited on links, themes and statistics, useful even before deciding whether the paid features are worth it.
Choose Zaap if building an email list from the bio link is the actual goal: Pro at $9 a month sends up to 25,000 emails to addresses collected right on the page, without a second subscription for the mailing tool. A custom domain is not included until Ultra at $19 a month, so anybody needing that immediately should compare it against Taplink's cheaper Business tier first.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper, Taplink or Zaap?
- Taplink, at the tier that includes payments and a custom domain: $8 a month against Zaap's $19-a-month Ultra tier, which is needed for a custom domain. At the entry paid tier alone, Zaap's Pro at $9 is close to Taplink's Business at $8.
- Does Taplink send marketing emails to a collected list like Zaap does?
- It lists automated emails as a Business-tier feature, but does not state a sending volume the way Zaap does. Zaap explicitly sends up to 25,000 emails a month on Pro and 50,000 on Ultra, which is its main selling point over a plain bio link.
- Which one includes a custom domain at the cheaper paid tier?
- Taplink does, on Business at $8 a month. Zaap reserves a custom domain for Ultra at $19 a month, a full tier above its $9 Pro plan.
- Can either one collect payment directly on the bio page?
- Taplink can, on the Business plan: price lists, order forms and payment collection are built in. Zaap sells digital products from its Pro plan up, though its materials describe it more around digital files and bookings than a full price-list and order-form system.
