How Linktree and Medium compare

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.

Medium is where a good essay can find readers on its own. The editor is calm, publications curate, the algorithm and topics surface work to members, and the Partner Program pays writers from member reading time. You bring words; Medium brings the audience and the distribution.
