Honest Take

Where BetterLinks Wins

We believe in honest comparisons. Here is where BetterLinks has an advantage today.

Lower Entry Price

BetterLinks' Personal plan starts at $49/year compared to LegendLinks Pro at $89/year. For affiliates on a tight budget who only need basic link management, BetterLinks offers a more affordable paid tier to get started.

Simpler Setup

BetterLinks has a streamlined onboarding experience with fewer configuration options. For users who want basic link shortening and tracking without advanced features, BetterLinks can feel less overwhelming to set up initially.

Growing Community

BetterLinks has a growing user base and active community backed by WPDeveloper, a well-known WordPress product company. Their ecosystem includes complementary plugins that integrate well with BetterLinks.
