mychar.gg vs Carrd: the short answer
mychar.gg is the better Carrd alternative when the page is your link in bio: a music player, video clips, animated effects, YouTube and Twitch sections, and built-in analytics come ready to use, free to start or €6.99 once for Pro. Carrd is the better pick for a general one-page website with forms, payments, or custom code, starting at $19 a year with a custom domain.
Choose mychar.gg if you
- want a link in bio that looks designed without touching code
- want a music player, video clips, and animated effects built in
- want views and clicks tracked for you, with nothing to set up
- prefer paying once over renewing every year
Stay with Carrd if you
- need a general one-page website, not only a bio link
- want forms, payments, or your own HTML and CSS
- want a custom domain included for $19 a year

- Animated background effectsRain, snow, fire, sakura, plasma, and more, picked from a list. On Carrd that takes custom code.
- Custom cursors and trailsUpload a cursor or add a trail like sparkles or neon on Pro, with no scripts.
- Sections that update themselvesYour latest YouTube uploads and your Twitch live status and schedule refresh on their own.
- Extras for creators, streamers, and gamersComments, friends, achievements, a game library, and a setup section are ready to add, not built by hand.

Why people look for a Carrd alternative
Carrd is a website builder first. People use it as a link in bio because it is flexible and cheap, but they end up building the parts a bio page needs by hand: a stack of buttons, an embedded player from another service, an analytics script from a third party. Each of those is a separate element to place and maintain, and the free plan caps a site at 50 elements.
The other common reason is analytics. Carrd has none built in. You can connect Google Analytics, Plausible, or a similar tool from Pro Standard up, but out of the box you cannot see which link people clicked.
How mychar.gg is different
mychar.gg starts from a working link-in-bio page and lets you change everything about it. The sections a creator needs already exist: links with icons for about 35 platforms, a background music player, video clips, YouTube and Twitch sections that keep themselves current, and a Discord profile. You design the look in the editor, which works on the page itself like Carrd, except that you are styling a page that already works instead of assembling one.
Analytics start with the first visit. Every plan tracks views, clicks, and your top links, and Pro adds live visitors and countries. On price, Carrd's yearly plans are cheap, but mychar.gg costs less over time: Pro is €6.99 once, with nothing to renew. If you want your own domain, the €2.99 per month add-on works on any plan, including Free.
