A free Linktree alternative, compared.
myQR and Linktree on what matters when you switch. Every Linktree answer links to Linktree's own page, checked on 25 October 2026.
Where each one fits.
Linktree
Pick Linktree if you already run a link-in-bio page and want a contact download on it. Its pages do not say which plans collect a visitor's details, and branding removal starts at Pro.
myQR
Free. The person you meet installs nothing and makes no account. Your number stays hidden until you approve them or they scan you in person.
Before you switch.
Does the other person need an app?
Yes: myQR. No app and no account. The card opens in their camera's browser.
Yes: Linktree. No. The contact details link downloads to their phone.26
Does the person you meet see an app pitch or an ad?
Yes: myQR. No. Your card and the save come first. The myQR mark and a link to make a card sit at the very end.
Partly: Linktree. Free Linktrees may show visitors a short ad after they tap a link, in a limited test. Paid plans never show one.39
Is there a free plan?
Yes: myQR. Yes. One card, one code, unlimited sharing.
Partly: Linktree. Yes, with restrictions. Unlimited basic links.23
Can you keep and export your contacts for free?
Yes: myQR. Yes. Export everyone as a contacts file or a spreadsheet, any time.
Partly: Linktree. Downloading your subscribers' details as a CSV is on Pro and Premium.28
Does a printed code keep working?
Yes: myQR. Yes. It keeps opening your card after you edit or replace it. Replacing it and then changing your username retires it.
Yes: Linktree. Yes. It points to a unique URL, so it keeps working if you change your username.24
Is the free card free of vendor branding?
Partly: myQR. No. A small myQR mark sits on the card.
No: Linktree. No. Removal needs Pro.28
What does the cheapest paid plan cost?
