Best Linktree alternatives for small businesses
Short answer
For a local business that prints QR codes, Linkly QR is the simplest choice: a branded link page, a restaurant menu option and a designer QR code in one tool, free to start and $5/month for Pro. Carrd is better for a fuller one-page website, and Beacons for creators selling digital products.

Where Linkly QR fits
- One tool for the page and the printed QR code that points to it.
- Layouts made for restaurants, salons, plumbers, dentists and other local businesses.
- Edit links, prices and hours anytime; the printed QR keeps working.
- Less suited for creators who mainly sell digital products inside the page.
