Headliner vs Linktree
More than a Linktree — a real site that updates itself.
Linktree is a link page on their domain. Headliner gives you a self-updating link-in-bio and a real website on your OWN domain, with your music, videos and shows syncing themselves from Spotify and YouTube.
Founding beta — founding pricing locked in for life.
Linktree is quick and familiar — a tidy list of links on a linktr.ee/you page. For a bare bio link it does the job.
But it's a link page, not a website, it lives on their subdomain, and every link is something you add and maintain by hand. Headliner gives you the same link-in-bio (a Smart Bio) plus a real homepage, discography, videos, shows and a press kit — all on your own domain, and all keeping themselves current automatically.

You own the destination
A link-in-bio on YOUR domain, not a rented page — so the traffic, the emails and the SEO are yours, not Linktree's.
It's a whole site
The same bio link, plus a real homepage, music, videos, shows and a bookable press kit — one place instead of a list pointing everywhere else.
It updates itself
New release or video and both your bio and your site already show it, pulled from Spotify and YouTube automatically.
Questions
- Can Headliner replace my Linktree?
- Yes — the Smart Bio does everything your Linktree does (releases, links, email capture, DSP routing) and stays current on its own, on your own domain.
- Is it more work than Linktree?
- Setup is seconds — paste your Spotify and YouTube. After that it updates itself, so it's less ongoing work, not more.
- What does it cost?
- Plans start at $29.99/mo and include a custom domain, the Smart Bio and a full website. Founding-beta spots are open now.
