## The short version

- **Linktree pricing:** Free / **$8** / **$15** / **$35/mo** — **0%** sales commission only on the **$35** Premium tier, **9–12%** below it
- **SeldonFrame pricing:** **$29/mo** **flat**, **unlimited workspaces**, first workspace **free forever**
- **Pick Linktree if:** You're a creator who only needs one bio link
- **Pick SeldonFrame if:** You need a real multi-page website, not a link page

## SeldonFrame vs Linktree: what you need to know

Linktree and SeldonFrame usually end up on the same shortlist for different reasons. Linktree is a link-in-bio tool that turns one profile link into a page of links — not a business platform. SeldonFrame comes at the same problem from the other direction: one flat $29/mo workspace where the AI receptionist, website, CRM, booking calendar and intake forms arrive pre-wired — generated from a single conversation in about 3 minutes.

Choose Linktree if you're a creator who only needs one link bringing together your social profiles and content, with no need for a CRM, booking, or phone answering. SeldonFrame's case is the opposite one: when the outcome you're buying is answered calls, qualified leads and jobs booked into a CRM you own, that whole front office ships on day one and the economics stay flat as you grow. The rest of this page walks the differences row by row — pricing model, the AI receptionist, the business system behind it, whitelabel, and what switching actually takes.

We make SeldonFrame, so read this with that in mind — but we've tried to be specific about where Linktree genuinely wins, not just where it doesn't.

## Where Linktree wins

- A 60-second setup with genuine mind-share among creators
- A usable free tier
- The fastest way to bring social links together on one page
- Simple, familiar to any audience

The honest take: Choose Linktree if you're a creator who only needs one link bringing together your social profiles and content, with no need for a CRM, booking, or phone answering.

## Where SeldonFrame wins

- **A real website, not a link page** — SeldonFrame builds a full multi-page service site — services, booking, reviews, contact — not a single page of outbound links.
- **An AI receptionist Linktree can't offer** — Linktree has no phone, SMS, or chat ability. SeldonFrame's agent answers calls, qualifies leads, and books jobs automatically.
- **No commission on what you sell** — Linktree takes 9–12% of sales below its $35 Premium tier. SeldonFrame charges $29/mo flat — nothing extra on bookings you close yourself.
- **A CRM and calendar behind the link** — Every lead that clicks through lands in a real CRM with a real booking calendar — not just a log of clicks.

## Pros & cons, side by side

### SeldonFrame

- **Pro:** An AI receptionist that answers calls, SMS, and web chat — and books real jobs into a real calendar and CRM
- **Pro:** The whole front office included: multi-page website, CRM, booking, intake forms, review automation
- **Pro:** $29/mo flat with unlimited workspaces — bring your own key and AI and phone service run at raw provider cost
- **Pro:** Whitelabel built in: branded client portal, per-client workspaces, custom domains, one-click multi-client deploy
- **Pro:** Build it free before you sign up — paste a URL, get a working workspace in about 3 minutes
- **Pro:** Open core and portable — your agents are plain, editable skill files, and your data lives in your workspace
- **Con:** No funnel-builder or email-campaign suite — it's a front office, not a marketing automation platform
- **Con:** You bring your own key (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, plus optional Twilio) — setup takes a few minutes
- **Con:** Newer platform — a smaller template library and community than decade-old incumbents
- **Con:** No native mobile app yet (the dashboard works fine on a phone browser)

## How to switch from Linktree to SeldonFrame

1. **Build the replacement free (3 minutes)** — Paste the business's website into seldonframe.com. SeldonFrame pulls out services, FAQs, and business facts and builds the workspace: site, CRM, booking calendar, intake, and the AI agent. No account needed until you claim it.
2. **Bring what matters over** — Point your social bio link at your new SeldonFrame website once it's live. The site includes its own service pages, booking, and contact options in place of the link list.
3. **Connect your keys and number** — Add your AI key (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — about 30 seconds) and, for phone, connect your Twilio number so calls and missed-call text-back run at carrier cost.
4. **Test the agent, then go live** — Every agent ships with automatic tests. Talk to it, watch it book into the calendar, then publish. Point your domain over when the site's ready.
5. **Run both in parallel for a week** — Keep the old tool running while SeldonFrame answers the phones. Cancel it once the CRM shows the bookings landing — cancel-anytime on both sides means zero risk.

## FAQ

**Can SeldonFrame replace my Linktree bio link?**

Yes. SeldonFrame builds a full website with its own links, services, and booking page. You can still point your social bio at it the same way you'd point it at a Linktree page.

**Does SeldonFrame take a commission on sales like Linktree's lower tiers?**

No. $29/mo is flat. SeldonFrame charges 2% only on sales made through SeldonFrame checkout, and nothing on business you close yourself.

**Is SeldonFrame a good Linktree alternative?**

For most agencies and builders, yes — SeldonFrame replaces the AI-front-office job (answering, qualifying, booking, tracking in a CRM) at $29/mo flat instead of Linktree's stacked pricing. See the full switching guide: /alternative-to-linktree.

**How much does Linktree cost compared to SeldonFrame?**

Linktree: Free / $8 / $15 / $35/mo — 0% sales commission only on the $35 Premium tier, 9–12% below it. SeldonFrame: $29/mo flat, unlimited workspaces, first workspace free forever, with AI and telephony on your own keys at raw provider cost — no per-minute or per-credit meter.

**How can SeldonFrame be $29/mo flat when competitors charge per minute or per credit?**

Because you use your own keys. Your agents run on your own AI key (Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini) and, for phone, your own Twilio account. You pay the providers at raw cost. SeldonFrame never marks up tokens or minutes. You pay for the platform, not a meter.

**Do you take a cut of what I charge my clients?**

SeldonFrame works like Shopify: $29/mo flat, plus 2% on sales made through SeldonFrame checkout, plus 5% when you sell agents on the SeldonFrame marketplace. Client retainers you bill outside SeldonFrame cost nothing extra.

**How fast can I see it working?**

Paste in a business's website (or just describe it in a sentence). SeldonFrame builds the whole workspace — site, CRM, booking, intake, and the AI agent — in about 3 minutes. It's free, and you don't need to sign up first.
