Carder vs Linktree.
Both live in your bio. The difference is what happens after the tap: a Linktree points people somewhere else, a Carder site answers them right there.
| Carder | Linktree | |
|---|---|---|
| What visitors see | A complete mini-site: menu, prices, booking, hours | A vertical list of link buttons |
| Setup | AI-generated from one sentence or an Instagram screenshot | Manual, add links one by one |
| Menus | Photograph a paper menu → browsable menu page | Link to a PDF |
| Booking & forms | Built-in on Pro and up | Via external links |
| Arabic / RTL | AI generates Arabic sites in full RTL | Limited |
| QR codes | PNG + PDF, logo embed on Business | Available |
| Free plan | Yes, up to 4 pages, auto address | Yes |
| Paid from | $12/mo (Pro) | ~$5/mo (Starter) |
The honest verdict.
If your visitors just need routing to platforms you already run, Linktree is cheap and fine. If a customer tapping your bio should see your menu, your prices, or a booking button, that's a site, and that's Carder.
Fair notice: Linktree is a mature product with a large template and integration ecosystem. Carder is newer and focused, AI generation, real business sections, and Arabic site generation are where we win.
Common questions.
Can I move from Linktree to Carder?
Yes. Generate your Carder site, swap the link in your bio, and you're done. Your Linktree keeps working until you delete it, so there's no downtime.
I only need a few links. Is Carder overkill?
No. A links section is one of Carder's core sections, so a simple link page is a valid Carder site. The difference is you can grow it into a real site later without changing your link.
