Overview

Instead of sending visitors to a single destination, ContactInBio lets users assemble links, text, media, contact forms, and galleries behind one URL. That can make a social profile a more useful starting point for prospective customers and audiences. The trade-off is that several of the blocks most likely to make a page distinctive—images, video, email signup, and product sales—are reserved for paid plans.

Custom URL options include ctcin.bio, contactin.bio, contactinbio.com, and allmy.link. Custom domains are supported, but the free plan retains ContactInBio branding. The service identifies itself as a GDPR data controller and describes EEA residents' rights to access, correct, object to, restrict, and port their data, as well as withdraw consent.

Key features

Links, messaging, and media

Blocks cover social and payment links, music services, messengers, text, contact forms, video, images, carousels, and email signup. ContactInBio advertises more than 103 social-network link types. Smart links for WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and Viber can open the chosen app with a number and message pre-entered, a practical route from discovery to conversation. YouTube and Vimeo embeds are supported, but video, images, and carousels require an upgrade.

Audience capture and selling

Email signup can save addresses in ContactInBio or connect to Mailchimp. The Sell block lets followers browse products, order, and pay with PayPal from the Instagram app; the site also advertises links to Stripe and other payment gateways. These capabilities make the page more useful for lead generation and lightweight sales than a simple directory of destinations, but neither email collection nor product sales is included in the free tier.

API and support

The public API can create accounts and landing pages and add links programmatically. Access is requested by email, so it is relevant to builders who want to automate page setup, but less immediate than an API with self-service access. Support is offered through live chat, a contact form, and email.

Pricing

Starter is free and includes a custom bio URL, Linktree import, custom links, social buttons, WhatsApp, contact forms, music services, and analytics. Free users can customize colors and sizes and track visitors and clicks, but they cannot use video, images, carousels, product sales, or email collection. The plan also keeps ContactInBio branding, making it a sensible starting point for a basic trackable page rather than a fully branded campaign or storefront.

Business is $4.55 USD per month, billed monthly, for one account. It adds custom design, branding removal, video and image uploads, carousels, Facebook Pixel, email collection, Mailchimp, and thumbnails. Business (Yearly) is $2.60 USD per year, billed yearly, for one account, with the same core additions plus priority support. The lower listed yearly rate may suit a single-page operator comfortable with annual billing; monthly billing costs more but avoids that commitment. Both plans are limited to one account.

Agency costs $18.20 USD per month, billed monthly, for five accounts and includes everything in Business and Free. Agency (Yearly) is $13.65 USD per year, billed yearly, also for five accounts and the same feature set. These are the plans for managing multiple pages; an individual account does not need the extra seats. The plan descriptions do not state a trial, renewal terms, or additional quotas.

Platforms

ContactInBio is listed for web and API. The API's account and page creation functions may suit teams integrating page setup into their workflow, though access must be requested by email.

Who it's for

Choose ContactInBio if a creator or small business wants one mobile-oriented page for social links, contact, email capture, and product sales, and can accept paying to unlock media and conversion blocks. It is less suitable for a team that needs more than one account on an individual plan, or for a builder who requires immediate self-service API access.

Pros and cons

Pros: Multiple link, messaging, contact, and payment options consolidate several visitor paths on one page.
Pros: Visitor and click tracking are included on the free plan, so a basic page can be measured without upgrading.
Pros: Business adds email capture, Mailchimp, media, and branding removal; Agency extends the feature set to five accounts.
Cons: Free users cannot add images, video, carousels, email signup, or product sales, which limits the page's visual and commercial role.
Cons: The free plan retains ContactInBio branding, while removing it requires Business or Agency.
Cons: API access requires an email request, creating an extra step for developers who want to automate setup.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Link-in-Bio Tools. Consider Bitly if you need a broader set of platform options and can work within its free monthly limits of five links, two QR codes, and three custom back-halves. Linktree is worth considering if its free plan's unlimited basic links and product and course selling better match your needs. Choose Lnk.Bio if unlimited links, basic statistics, three pages, templates, and a QR code are the priorities on a free plan. Beacons may suit a creator who needs a one-page site, unlimited links, and 500 email sends per month on its annually billed Creator plan. Hopp by Wix is another free link-in-bio option, with a paid Sell plan for readers evaluating its additional collaborator and page allowance. Campsite.bio offers Pro at $7.00 USD per month for one profile, with additional profiles or collaborators priced at $1.50/month each. Carrd is a fit if you want a free account with up to three sites and access to most website services. Milkshake is an option if its free plan's unlimited links and cards, Stripe digital-file sales, and 30 days of Insights analytics fit your needs.

Verdict

ContactInBio is a good fit for a creator or small business that wants a single social destination to combine contact, audience capture, and sales, with tracked links available at no cost. Its main limitation is the divide between the free page and the paid conversion tools: media, email collection, and selling all require an upgrade. Look elsewhere if you need multiple accounts without Agency or API access without an email request.
