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.
TinyURL
The short link everyone recognises, with analytics
TinyURL has shortened links for free since before link-in-bio pages existed, and the paid tiers add branded domains, editable destinations and click analytics on top of that. Links are metered per month with a stated overage rate rather than being cut off. Three branded domains come on the entry plan. Anybody who wants a landing page with buttons on it is looking at the wrong product, because this shortens links and stops there.
Our note
Count links rather than clicks when picking a tier, because 125 a month sounds like plenty and a scheduled social calendar eats it fast. The editable destination is the feature worth paying for on its own: a QR code on something printed is only as good as your ability to change where it points.
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.
Our note
The reason to pay for this over Linktree is the mailing list, because an address you own outlives a platform's algorithm and a bio link does not. If nothing is being sold and no list is being built, the free tiers elsewhere are the same product.
