Linktree solved a real problem and still does it best. One link in your bio opens a tidy page of links, embeds, a shop, tip jar, and email capture, with analytics on every tap. Millions of creators rely on it because it takes two minutes and simply works.
Cardel provides a home for your craft. Share and sell your work, grow your audience, and bring your community together on a site of your own. Cardel is not a link-in-bio tool; it is the destination those links usually point at.
Linktree lives at linktr.ee/you. Cardel lives at your domain with blog, Showcase, Shop, Videos, and Schedule pages search engines can rank.
Linktree captures emails and hands them on. Cardel keeps the audience, sends from your domain, and runs campaign workflows.
Linktree's shop is a storefront of links and products. Cardel's Shop takes Stripe payments with orders and a Messaging Center behind it.
Choose Linktree when you need one link that routes social traffic and nothing more.
Choose Cardel when you want that link to land on a home you own: site, audience, shop or bookings, and inbox in one place.
You are the Forgemaster. Cardel is your forge. What you build is yours.
Cardel is a home for your craft: a site of your own with a blog, newsletter, shop, community, and one inbox. It can replace Linktree when you want your work, audience, and sales in one place. The feature list below shows where the two overlap and where they part.
Yes. Cardel pages can link out to other products, so you can keep Linktree for what it does best and bring the rest of your work to Cardel.
