Linktree vs Flowlance: Which Platform Is Better for Creators in 2025?

When you’re ready to launch your first offer, the tool you choose matters. Linktree was built as a link-in-bio platform first. Monetization came later, with add-ons like digital products, sessions, and simple payments. That’s why it still feels link-first, seller-second.

Flowlance flips that around. It’s built for selling from the ground up. You create your product, publish it, and you’re ready to earn.

That difference matters. Because when you’re starting out, you don’t want to juggle workarounds or settle for “good enough.” You want a store that’s ready to sell from day one.

Linktree gives you links. Flowlance gives you a store.

Let’s break down how they compare.

Intro

Linktree is the biggest name in link-in-bio. It’s used by millions of creators to manage links and show their profile. And now, it also lets you sell digital products, courses, and sessions.

But its monetization features are very basic. Landing pages are non-existent. There are no email sequences, no communities, no custom domains, and fees that cut deep.

Flowlance is built from the ground up for creators who sell. More than 3,000 creators have already made $1M+ on the platform. It focuses on what matters: giving you a real store, full ownership, and the tools to grow without stacking third-party apps.

Where They’re Similar

Offer free products to your audience
Use Stripe or PayPal for payments

The Big Problem with Platforms Like Linktree

Linktree works fine as a link hub. But when it comes to actually selling, the cracks show fast.

On most plans, you’re paying high fees on every sale, which eats into your revenue. Your products only get a very basic listing, with no custom landing pages, no FAQs, no upsells, and no reviews to build trust.

There are no built-in email sequences either. If you want to follow up with leads or customers, you’ll need a separate tool or do it all manually. Hosting your own community isn’t possible on Linktree either, which means you have to rely on another app.

And when it comes to branding, Linktree keeps its name front and center. You can’t run your store on your own custom domain, so everything lives under their brand, not yours.

Linktree wasn’t built to be your store. It was built to host your links - and that difference shows.

Where Flowlance Wins

‍

Selling-first platform: Flowlance is built around monetization. Landing pages for every product, space for descriptions, images, video, FAQs, reviews, and upsells.
Custom domains: Your store can live on your own domain. Linktree doesn’t allow this.
Email marketing built in: In Flowlance, you can send one-off broadcasts to all your customers and build automated email sequences. Linktree has no native email tools.
Lead magnets that actually work: Offer free products and automatically trigger follow-up emails. On Linktree, free downloads are just free downloads.
Communities built in: Host memberships directly on Flowlance. Linktree has no option for this.
Direct checkout links: Sell high-ticket offers without sending people through your storefront.
CRM and invoices: Manage customers, add notes, and send invoices without extra tools.
No commissions: Linktree takes up to 12% unless you’re on the Premium plan. Flowlance takes 0%.

Why Flowlance Works Differently

Flowlance is focused on monetization. It’s not just an intersection that sends visitors somewhere else like a traditional link-in-bio tool. It’s equipped with everything you need to actually sell - and it’s built to be super simple. There’s no way to get stuck. The UI is so clean that you can list your products in minutes.

A great example of this difference is landing pages. Flowlance automatically generates one for every product you add. Each page gives you space for full descriptions, images, videos, FAQs, reviews, and even upsells. Linktree, by contrast, only gives you a small pop-up with very little room to explain anything beyond the basics.

And if you tried to match Flowlance’s functionality inside Linktree, you’d be stuck cobbling together a stack of 3rd party tools - and even then, many of the gaps would remain.

Flowlance makes it all work out of the box. One platform. One setup. And a clear path to selling.

Conclusion

If you're serious about selling digital products, Linktree simply can’t give you all the tools you need. It can handle the bare minimum of handling sales and processing the payments, but selling digital products, courses, and sessions online takes more than that. To actually succeed - and grow into everything you’re capable of - you need more than a very basic setup.

That’s where Flowlance stands out. It gives you everything in one place: landing pages, email automation, upsells, communities, invoicing, and more. And the best part? All those pro tools are made simple enough that anyone can use them.

Flowlance takes the complexity out of selling and makes powerful features accessible to every creator.
