A Linktree alternative for Instagram: your grid, with a link on every post
Linktree gives your followers a list of buttons. TapThru gives them the grid they already know, where every post opens its own link. Here is what each does well, and how to tell which one you need.
TapThru and Linktree at a glance
| Linktree | TapThru | |
|---|---|---|
| What your page shows | A list of buttons, in the order you set | Your Instagram grid, in the order you posted |
| How a follower finds a post's link | Reads the list and picks a button | Taps the picture they just saw |
| When you publish a post | Add a button, and tidy the old ones | The post arrives by itself; give it a link in your dashboard |
| Older posts | Keep their link while their button stays on the list | Keep their link for good |
| Links that are not posts | As many buttons as you like | Up to five header buttons above the grid |
| Platforms | Any: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and more | Instagram only |
| Instagram account | Any | Business or creator |

Which one is for you
Linktree is the better choice when
- You post on several platforms and want one page for all of them.
- Most of your links are not posts: streaming profiles, a newsletter, a shop, a podcast.
- You want to sell or take payments on the page itself.
TapThru is the better choice when
- Instagram is where your audience is, and your posts are the content.
- Each post has a destination of its own: a recipe, a product, an article, a booking page.
- You are tired of editing your bio, and of older posts that say "link in bio" and lead nowhere.
Switching from Linktree
Four steps, and your bio link changes exactly once.
-
Create your page and connect Instagram
Sign up, choose your page's address and sign in with Instagram. Your posts arrive by themselves.
-
Give your recent posts their links
Start with the posts still being seen. Only posts with a link appear on your page.
-
Move your evergreen links to header buttons
Your shop, newsletter or booking page: up to five buttons above the grid, where the Linktree buttons used to be.
-
Swap the link in your bio
Put your new address in your Instagram bio. Keep your Linktree page up until you are happy; nothing on it breaks.
Safe to connect
- Official Instagram API, with Instagram Login
- Read-only. We never post, comment or change anything.
- Disconnect any time. Your page keeps working from what it already has.
- No cookies or trackers on your public page.
