The alternatives
1. Beacons — the most on a free plan
Beacons is the alternative most reviewers recommend for creators: besides links, its free plan includes extras such as a simple store, email collection and a media kit. Custom domains are on paid plans.
2. Carrd — a tiny website instead of a link list
Carrd is a one-page site builder. It takes a little more setup than a link list, but gives you a real page you design yourself. Its paid plans are inexpensive and add a custom domain.
3. Bio.link — simple and quick
Bio.link focuses on a clean link page you can set up in minutes, with a free plan and paid options for extras like a custom domain.
4. Lnk.Bio — the budget pick
Lnk.Bio has a free plan and some of the cheapest paid upgrades among link-in-bio tools; a custom domain is a paid add-on.
5. Taplink — payments and messengers
Taplink's free plan covers links plus buttons for messaging apps, and it's geared toward taking payments from your page. Check its current plans for custom-domain options.

How to put your link page on a QR code
A link-in-bio page works best offline when people can reach it in one scan — from a shop window, a product box, a business card or the last slide of a talk.
- Copy your page's address (for example, linktr.ee/yourname or your Beacons URL).
- Paste it into the URL QR code generator and style the code in your brand colors, with your logo.
- Make it a dynamic QR code (free account) if you might switch tools later — you can repoint the printed code from Linktree to Beacons, or to your own site, without reprinting — and see how many people scanned.
- Download SVG for print or PNG for screens, and test it once with your phone.
Linktree QR code vs a custom one
Linktree and several alternatives can give you a basic QR code for your page. A custom one adds your colors and logo, print-quality files, and — with a dynamic code — an editable destination plus scan analytics. Handy if you print the code on anything you can't easily replace.
Can one QR code open multiple links?
No — a QR code holds exactly one destination. That's precisely what a link page is for: one code, one page, all your links. Point the code at the page, and update the page whenever your links change.
Where Capy QR fits
To be clear: Capy QR isn't a link-in-bio builder — it doesn't host link pages. It makes the QR code that points to yours, free, styled to match your brand, and dynamic if you want to change the destination later.
