Linktree alternatives for adult creators
Linktree banned adult creators in 2021 and tightened in 2023. Here are the credible alternatives — what each does well, what each does badly, and why fanmigo is built specifically to outlast the next mainstream policy change.
If you’re looking for a Linktree alternative because your account got nuked, or because you saw a friend’s nuked, or because you read the latest creator-Twitter thread about Linktree’s policy enforcement — you’re in the right place.
This is the no-nonsense comparison. There’s overlap with our best link-in-bio tools for adult creators post, but this one is specifically focused on migration paths — what you do today, this week, this month, to be off Linktree without losing fans in the transition.
Step zero: don’t panic
If your Linktree is still working, you don’t need to migrate today. Set up a replacement in parallel, redirect when ready. The order:
- Pick the alternative.
- Set it up with all your current Linktree links.
- Update the link in your platform bios (OnlyFans, Twitter / X, Reddit) to the new URL.
- Leave the Linktree alive but stop updating it for 30 days.
- Take Linktree down once your fans have all migrated.
Skipping this sequence and yanking Linktree before the alternative is set up is how you lose two weeks of conversions.
The credible alternatives
Fanmigo (the one we make)
Best for: creators who want a marketing surface that maintains itself.
- Auto-populated from your scraped public profiles. Your page is already built when you arrive.
- Built-in mailing-list capture with Klaviyo / Mailchimp webhooks.
- Custom domain on Pro (£9.99/mo).
- Adult-creator-friendly is foundational, not policy-flexible.
- Theme presets that look professional out of the box.
- You appear in fanmigo’s directory and search — incoming traffic from the platform itself.
The structural advantage over every other tool on this list: your page reflects your current platform footprint without manual updates. Switch from OnlyFans to Fansly? Your fanmigo page picks it up. Add a Reddit account? It appears. The competing tools require manual edits.
AllMyLinks
Best for: creators who want a free, no-frills, no-mailing-list page that simply works.
- Free tier covers the core use case.
- Adult-creator-permissive policy that has stayed permissive for years.
- Feature-light: no theming, no analytics on free, weak custom domain support.
It’s a directory of links. That’s the whole product. For many creators it’s enough. Many creators run AllMyLinks alongside fanmigo.
Carrd
Best for: creators willing to do their own design.
- Single-page websites for $19/year (Pro Standard).
- Fully customisable design.
- Officially permits adult content but has historically taken down individual sites under complaint pressure. Not as bulletproof as it looks.
If you’re design-comfortable and willing to maintain a custom site, Carrd works. Most creators don’t actually want to design their own page from scratch — that’s why Linktree-style tools exist.
Beacons
Best for: creators who don’t trust the warning of this article.
- Banned adult creators in waves in 2022 and 2023. Some accounts have stayed up since, but the precedent is set.
- Polished features (commerce, email capture, analytics).
- High risk of repeat policy enforcement.
Not recommended.
Plain personal site
Best for: creators with technical skills.
A custom domain pointing at a static site (Hugo, Jekyll, plain HTML) you maintain yourself. ~£10/year for the domain, ~£5/mo for hosting (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel — note that Vercel and Netlify have suspended adult sites in the past; Cloudflare has been more permissive).
Pros: total control. Cons: you’re now your own webmaster.
Milkshake / Planoly
Best for: Instagram-first creators with mainstream-content overlap.
These are Instagram-creator tools with a link-in-bio feature. Adult-creator policy is not their primary concern. Workable for soft / cosplay / fetish-adjacent creators with mainstream Instagram audiences. Not workable for explicit-content creators.
The migration playbook
Whichever alternative you pick:
Week 1: set up
- Sign up. Verify (if required).
- Add every link you have on Linktree.
- Add a mailing-list signup form if the tool supports one (huge — see below).
- Theme it. 15 minutes max — don’t perfect it.
- Test on mobile. 80%+ of clicks come from mobile.
Week 2: redirect
- Update your OnlyFans / Fansly bio link to the new URL.
- Update your Twitter / X bio link.
- Update your Reddit profile link.
- Update your Instagram bio link.
- Tweet / post once: “My link-in-bio just moved. Bookmark the new one.”
Weeks 3-4: monitor
- Watch your new tool’s analytics. Click counts should match your old Linktree’s roughly within 7 days.
- Watch for fans asking “where did your link go?” and reply with the new URL.
- Don’t take the Linktree down yet.
Week 5: wind down Linktree
- Replace your Linktree’s content with a single line: “My link-in-bio has moved to [new URL]” — simple redirect, no other content.
- Wait another 30 days.
- Delete the Linktree.
Total migration: ~60 days from start to fully off Linktree, with no fan loss.
The mailing list is the migration insurance
The best reason to migrate to a tool with built-in email capture (fanmigo, Beacons-if-you-trust-it) is that the migration itself is the moment to build the email asset.
Every fan who hits your new fanmigo page in the migration window is a fan you can capture in your mailing list. Once they’re on your Klaviyo, they survive any future tool migration without you needing to re-collect.
The fans you don’t capture in this migration are gone if the next platform also bans you. Don’t do half the migration. See Setting up Klaviyo for your fan mailing list for the integration.

The platform you migrated to in 2021 may not be the right one in 2026. The platform you migrate to in 2026 should be the one that’s still around in 2030. That’s the only metric that matters.
