Waveloop

Flat prices. No charge per contact. Hobby is free with no card. Creator is $15 a month, or ₹1,499 plus GST in India, with unlimited contacts.

Two different starting points.

Linktree is a link in bio tool first. Your page holds your links, products, bookings and sign-up forms. Its Instagram auto-reply adds one more path to that page. Someone comments on your post or reel, and they get a DM with your message and a link button. You can answer every comment or only keywords, and add up to four public replies.

Waveloop starts from the DM. A comment, a story reply or a keyword someone DMs you can each start an automation. People who comment are saved as contacts you can search and export. You also get a link in bio page on every plan.

Where Linktree does more.

Linktree does more on the page itself. You can sell digital products and courses, take bookings, collect email and phone sign-ups, and schedule social posts. If people buy from your page, Linktree keeps it all in one place.

Its auto-reply is simple to set up from the same account. A DM can point to a link on your Linktree, a product in your shop or any other URL.

What the plans give you.

Linktree caps auto-reply DMs by plan: 1,000 a month on Free, 1,500 on Starter, 2,500 on Pro and unlimited on Premium. Answering every post or your next post needs Pro or Premium. Prices vary by country. In the US, Pro is $15 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly.

Waveloop Hobby is free with no card. You get 3 automations, 50 new contacts a month and unlimited DMs. Each Hobby automation runs on one post or reel, and the DM can carry a link button. Creator costs $15 a month or $150 a year, and ₹1,499 a month plus GST in India. It adds follow to unlock, email collection inside the DM, card replies and automations on any post or your next post. You can also connect Waveloop to Claude or ChatGPT and create automations by chatting.

Which one fits you.

If your page is where people buy and sign up, Linktree is a strong pick, and you can keep it in your bio while Waveloop handles your DMs. If people ask for your link, price or guide in comments, stories and DMs, Waveloop gives you more ways to answer there. See every plan on the pricing page.

FAQ

Waveloop and Linktree, answered.

Is Waveloop a good Linktree alternative?

It depends on what you use Linktree for. If you mainly send links from Instagram comments, stories and DMs, Waveloop does more there and includes a link in bio page. If your Linktree page is your shop or booking page, Linktree does more.

Can I keep my Linktree and use Waveloop?

Yes. Keep your Linktree link in your bio and use Waveloop for comment, story and DM keyword automations. Just don't run Linktree's auto-reply and Waveloop on the same post, or one comment can trigger two DMs.

For DM automation, Hobby is free with unlimited DMs, 3 automations and 50 new contacts a month, while Linktree Free caps auto-reply DMs at 1,000 a month. Creator is $15 a month, the same as Linktree Pro on monthly billing in the US. Linktree Pro also covers your page design and selling tools.

Does Waveloop have a link in bio page?

Yes, on every plan. It lives at app.waveloopai.com/u/ followed by your handle, with themes, scheduled links and click counts. Linktree adds selling tools such as digital products and bookings.

Can Waveloop collect emails like Linktree?

Yes, inside the DM, on Creator and up. Linktree collects email and phone sign-ups on your page. Waveloop also saves everyone who comments as a contact you can search and export.
