Alternative · Lnk.Bio
Lnk.Bio for links. Bookshelves for books.
Lifetime pricing is clever. Unlimited blue buttons still won’t show the cover from your BookTok.
Bookshelves is an Lnk.Bio alternative for authors and book creators. Lnk.Bio is a multi-link bio with lifetime pricing and an Authors landing page. Bookshelves is a visual bookshelf with covers, series order, ratings, and per-book buy links — free for the public shelf.
