A Taplink alternative for plain link pages
Taplink has a free plan, and for plenty of people it is enough. You get unlimited links, 200+ themes, custom design, a QR code and page view statistics at no cost. If that covers you, stay. This page is not for you.
It is for the person who hits the paywall for one specific reason: they want the Taplink branding gone, or their own domain on the page. Both sit on the Business plan, which is $16 a month, or $96 if you prepay a year. GrapeLink does those two things for $8, once.
Taplink is also a much bigger product than a link page. It has application forms, payments, a built-in CRM and mini-landing pages. GrapeLink has none of that. Below are Taplink's prices from its own site, the five-year math, what GrapeLink really includes, and the cases where you should keep Taplink.
GrapeLink is a good fit if
- You use Taplink as a link page: avatar, bio, a stack of buttons, and nothing else
- You are on Free and want to remove the Taplink branding, or on Business only for that and a custom domain
- You would rather pay $8 once than $96 every year for the same page
- You run more than one link page (personal, project, client) and do not want a plan for each
Stay on Taplink if
- You take orders or payments through your Taplink page, or sell digital products
- You use its forms, CRM or automated emails to handle leads
- You rely on Pro features such as scheduled blocks, custom HTML or social media pixels
- You want a permanent free plan: GrapeLink has none, everything unlocks with the $8 purchase

The math over 1, 3 and 5 years
Taplink lists branding removal and the custom domain only under Business, and those are the two things GrapeLink lets you do for $8. Pro is cheaper at $48 a year prepaid, but it keeps the Taplink branding, so it is not the same result. If you stay on Free you pay nothing and this math does not apply.

Where Taplink is better
Payments, forms and a CRM
Taplink's Business plan has application forms, payment acceptance, digital products, a CRM and automated emails. GrapeLink is a link page. It has no checkout, no lead forms and no customer list. If your page takes orders, stay on Taplink.
A real free plan
Taplink's free plan is permanent and generous: unlimited links, custom design, 200+ themes, maps and a QR code. GrapeLink has no free tier, so if the free page already does the job and the branding does not bother you, paying $8 buys you nothing.
Rich media and marketing tools on Pro
Pro adds images, videos and music blocks, price lists, custom HTML, social media pixels and scheduled display of blocks. GrapeLink can schedule when a link shows (show from, hide after), but it has no custom HTML or tracking pixels.
Mini-landing pages
Taplink lets you build internal pages and a timer, so one link can turn into a small sales site. GrapeLink gives you separate link pages, not a landing page builder.
What Taplink costs, from its own pricing page
Taplink is billed as a prepaid period, not a rolling monthly card charge. On the US version of its site, Pro is $8 for one month, $24 for three months, $33.60 for six and $48 for twelve. Business is double each of those: $16, $48, $67.20 and $96. The longest period gets a 50% discount, which is where the $4 and $8 a month figures come from.
I read these on 2026-10-10. The site shows prices in the visitor's currency: from my server in France it showed euros, so check the number you see when you sign up.
The five-year math
If you want the branding gone and a custom domain, Business at the 12-month rate is $96 a year. Over five years that is $480, and you must renew the period each year to keep the page clean. GrapeLink is $8 once, so $8 at year five too.
The picture changes if you only ever need Free. Then Taplink costs $0 and GrapeLink loses on price. The comparison only matters if the missing branding or the domain is a real requirement for you. Pro at $48 a year does not cover it, since Business is where Taplink lists the branding removal.
The money is not the only difference. With a prepaid plan, the day your period ends decides whether your page keeps its custom domain. A one-time purchase does not have that date. Our terms are that lifetime means for as long as we run the app, and that you get 30 days' notice and an export of your data if we ever shut it down.
What GrapeLink gives you
GrapeLink is a link page builder. You get unlimited links, drag-and-drop ordering, a spotlight link, several pages on one account, 14 preset themes, custom colors, a background image, button styles and fonts, and a QR code. You can hide the Made with GrapeLink footer and serve the page on your own domain: add it in the page settings, set the DNS record shown, verify.
It also counts clicks per link with a device breakdown. If you own other F*ckSubscription apps, you can show a PeachCalendar booking page, a MangoForm form, a KiwiProof widget or a DurianStatus status badge on the page. That is the whole list, and I would rather you know it before paying.
The bundle with every app is $49 one-time, if you need more than a link page.
Who should stay on Taplink
If you use Taplink to sell, collect leads or run a CRM, GrapeLink cannot replace it. Moving would mean rebuilding that part with other tools. If you are on the free plan and the branding does not bother you, you also have no reason to move.
Where GrapeLink makes sense is the narrow case in the middle: a paid Taplink plan that you keep only so the page looks like yours. There, a single $8 payment does the same visible job.
