# Dot vs Linktree

The clearest difference is rating: Linktree at 4.8 against Dot's 1.9. Linktree also leads on ratings volume (62K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Dot's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 51%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dot sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Linktree sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Linktree holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linktree has 62K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Dot's written reviews are positive against 51% of Linktree's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dot ships an update monthly, Linktree weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
