Link in bio with a one-time payment: what your options cost

TL;DR

You can pay once for a link in bio page. Cheapest to dearest:

Four of these cost far less than Page. Page is $149 once, and it is not the cheapest one-time link in bio tool.

The short answer

Yes, you can pay once for a link in bio page and skip the subscription. If price is the only thing that matters, pick OneLink at $4.99 or JustOneBio at $9.99. Page costs $149 once, which is 30 times OneLink's price. Choose it only if the click history, the downloadable files and the 0% cut of your sales are worth that difference to you.

Why a one-time payment, and what you give up

Linktree and most other tools bill every month or year. Linktree Pro is reported at $12 a month billed annually, which is $144 a year, and $15 on monthly billing. A subscription never ends. A one-time payment does, and for a page you plan to keep for years, the math tilts toward paying once.

What you give up is mostly trust. You pay today for something the seller has to keep running. More on that further down.

The one-time options, one by one

OneLink: $4.99 once

OneLink's site says $4.99 once, no recurring subscription, with 80 templates, built-in analytics, up to 200 content blocks and no third-party ads. You build the page free and pay when you publish.

Catch: the homepage does not say how long analytics history lasts, or whether you can download your data. Ask before you depend on it. See the full Page vs OneLink comparison.

JustOneBio: $9.99 once

JustOneBio has a free plan that its homepage calls free forever, and says $9.99 one time gets you everything. It lists 26 themes.

Catch: we could not see its full paid feature list on the page, so read what the $9.99 covers before you buy.

Lnk.Bio: $24.99 once (Unique plan)

Lnk.Bio has a free plan with unlimited links and basic statistics. Its Unique plan is $24.99 one time, with no Lnk.Bio logo on the profile, custom colors, a newsletter block, a contact form and more pages. A Mini plan is described in its FAQ as $9.99 once, with scheduling and advanced analytics. It also sells an Ultra plan at $89.99 a year and separate add-ons.

Catch: the pricing grid on Lnk.Bio's page labels the Mini card "per month", while the FAQ says $9.99 once. Check which one you are buying at checkout.

Orbt: $29.99 once

Orbt's site says $29.99 once for lifetime access, or $3.50 a month, with a free plan too. The paid plan removes Orbt branding and lets you sell products and tips for a 1% fee.

Catch: the 1% fee on your sales is the price of selling through the page. Orbt's site says it launched in 2026, so it has the shortest track record on this list.

Linkship: $149 once

Linkship sells a $149 lifetime plan, the same price as Page. It also sells Pro at $9 a month or $59 a year. Monthly and annual plans start with a 14-day trial. The lifetime plan has no trial. You can build your page free and pay when you publish. Its Pro features list includes advanced analytics with history up to all time and a CSV export.

Catch: at $149 it is not cheaper than Page. It is the closest match to Page on price and model, so compare the two pricing pages before you choose.

Page: $149 once

Page costs $5.99 a month, $49 a year, or $149 once. All three are the same page. The draft is free and needs no card. There is no free published plan.

Is Page the cheapest? No

Four tools above cost less than Page, and one costs the same:

• Cheaper than Page: OneLink ($4.99), JustOneBio ($9.99), Lnk.Bio Unique ($24.99), Orbt ($29.99).
• Same price as Page: Linkship ($149).
• Free, no payment at all: Lnk.Bio's free plan, JustOneBio's free plan, and Orbt's free plan are all cheaper than any one-time price here. Linktree and own.page also have free plans.

If a free or cheap plan does the job, use it. Page is for people who want more than a list of links and are fine paying for it.

What the extra money buys on Page

Page's pitch is one plan with no tiers. Here is what is in it, as documented on its site:

• Click history on the one plan. Views, unique visitors, taps on each block, referrer, UTM tags, country, device and browser. History runs 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or all time. See how Page analytics works.
• Your data, as files. The page downloads as JSON and your clicks download as CSV, on every paid plan. See export.
• 0% of your sales. Page says it never takes a cut. Checkout stays on the shop you already use, and that shop's own payment fees still apply. Orbt's paid plan takes 1% of sales made through its page.
• Pause, not delete. If a monthly or yearly plan lapses, the page pauses after a 7-day grace period and nothing is deleted. The $149 plan has no renewal to miss.
• A person who answers. Page's pricing page says to write the founder any time and a person answers.

Some of the cheaper tools may offer similar things. We only list what each site says on its public pages, and for the cheaper tools we found less detail. If one of them covers what you need, take it.

Is $149 worth paying once?

$149 is about three years of Page's yearly plan ($49 x 3 = $147). If you would keep the page for three years or more, one payment costs less than paying yearly. If you would keep it for two, yearly is cheaper.

Against a monthly plan at $5.99, $149 pays off after about 25 months.

Against Linktree Pro at a reported $144 a year on annual billing, $149 once is roughly one year of Linktree. We found no one-time plan on Linktree's pricing page, which lists monthly and annual billing.

The cheaper tools pay off much sooner. At $4.99 or $9.99, you are out of pocket for about a month of any subscription.

The risk of paying once

A one-time payment only works if the tool is still around. Bento.me, which was free, shut down in February 2026, and its pages and data were deleted.

Before you pay once for any tool, check three things:

1. What "lifetime" means. On Page, the $149 plan covers the service for as long as Page operates, including features that ship later. It is the life of the product, not yours.
2. What happens if the tool closes. Page's terms give at least 90 days' notice if the product shuts down, so you can export and move.
3. Whether you can leave with your data. On Page you can download the page and the clicks. Ask the same of every tool on this list.

Which one should you pick?

• You want the cheapest page that works: OneLink or JustOneBio.
• You want a free page first and a small upgrade later: JustOneBio or Lnk.Bio.
• You sell through the page and 1% is fine: Orbt.
• You want click history you can keep and 0% on sales you send to other shops: Page, or compare with Linkship.
• You are a freelancer sending one link to clients: the cheaper tools will do the job, and link in bio for freelancers shows what to put on the page either way.
• You need courses, bookings or a store inside the link: none of the above. Look at the Linktree alternatives list.

Conclusion

Pay once if you plan to keep the page and the seller looks stable. For the lowest price, pick OneLink or JustOneBio. For $149, choose between Page and Linkship by reading what each plan includes. Page's draft is free, so you can build the page before you pay. See Page pricing.
