The short answer: usually yes, you can start for free. But "free" doesn't mean the same thing everywhere. Bio link services tend to offer a basic page for free and keep more advanced features for paid plans.
So the real question is whether your needs fit inside the limits of the free plan.
What to check in a free plan
Before choosing a service, look for answers to these questions:
- Is the free plan ongoing, or does it end after a set time?
- How many pages can you create?
- How many blocks can you add to a page?
- Which types of block are available?
- Does the service's branding appear on your page?
- How far back can you see your statistics?
A "free trial" and a "free plan" are also different things. A trial ends after a set time. A plan lasts until you leave. It's worth finding out in advance what happens to your page when a trial ends.
What's usually paid?
Paid features are usually aimed at growing what you do:
- Using your own domain
- Removing the service's branding
- Connecting ad and analytics tools
- Search engine settings
- More types of block
If you're just starting out, you may not need any of these yet.
What about tappon?
tappon's free plan has no time limit. You get one bio page with room for up to 100 blocks. tappon branding stays on your page. The plan also includes 5 short links, 3 QR codes, 1 vCard, 1 email signature, email and phone collection, and 30 days of statistics.
To be clear about the limits: your own domain, branding removal, SEO settings, pixels, the verified badge, payments and the other blocks are on Pro. That means some block types aren't available on the free plan.
There's also a 14-day trial with no card needed, and everything is on during it. When it ends, your account moves to the free plan and your page stays live. Pro features switch off and return after payment. Pages and links over the plan aren't deleted; they stay on hold.
This image is an example page made with Pro features. The verified badge at the top doesn't appear on the free plan.
Is a free plan enough for you?
If you have one page, a few links and your contact details, it may well be. If you want to put your brand first, use your own address or measure ads, you'll need a paid plan at some point. Starting free is the best way to see what you actually need.
In short
A bio link can be free, but not unlimited. Look at the time limit, the block types and the branding before you decide.
