mychar.gg vs Linktree: the short answer
mychar.gg is a Linktree alternative for anyone who wants the page itself to stand out: you design it in a live editor with animated backgrounds, custom cursors, a music player, and video clips, and you can put it on your own domain, which Linktree does not offer. Removing branding costs €6.99 once on mychar.gg versus $12 a month on Linktree Pro. Linktree is still the stronger choice if you mainly sell products or rely on its marketing apps.
Choose mychar.gg if you
- want a page that looks designed, not a list of buttons
- want music and video clips to play on the page itself
- want your own domain on your link in bio
- would rather pay once than every month
Stay with Linktree if you
- sell digital products or courses from your bio
- need email signups, link scheduling, or Instagram auto-replies
- want the name your audience already recognizes

Where Linktree is stronger
Selling from your bio
Linktree sells digital products and courses on every plan, with an affiliate shop and Shopify connection. mychar.gg has no store.
Marketing tools
Email and SMS signups, mailing list sync, Instagram auto-replies, link scheduling, and ad pixels go well beyond a bio page.
A big app catalog
Around 60 marketplace apps connect music, video, payments, and community tools, and Premium adds all-time analytics with export.
Recognition and mobile apps
Audiences know linktr.ee links on sight, and native iOS and Android apps let you edit on the go. mychar.gg runs in the browser.
Why people look for a Linktree alternative
Linktree made the link in bio a standard, and it does that job reliably. The usual reasons to look elsewhere are about how the page looks and what it costs. On the free plan, most pages look alike: a stack of buttons on a theme, with Linktree branding at the bottom. The things that make a page feel like yours, such as video backgrounds and branding removal, sit behind Pro at $12 a month billed yearly.
There are also things Linktree does not do at all. You cannot put a Linktree page on your own domain, there are no animated backgrounds or custom cursors, and music or video only appears through embeds from other services. For creators whose brand is visual, that is the gap.
How mychar.gg is different
mychar.gg treats the page as something you design, not a list you fill in. The editor is your actual page: you edit your name and bio where they appear, drag sections, links, and widgets into place, and pick layouts, fonts, colors, backgrounds, effects, and cursors while everything updates live. You can start from a community skin and change any detail.
Your content lives on the page too. A built-in music player plays your own tracks, video clips play in place, and YouTube and Twitch sections keep your latest uploads and live status current. Analytics are included on every plan. Pricing is the other big difference: Pro is €6.99 and Elite €12.99, both paid once, and a custom domain is a €2.99 per month add-on that works even on Free.
