Linktree vs Bento
Linktree vs Bento, and a page that reads like a homepage.
Linktree and Bento are both popular, but they package your bio link in opposite shapes. Linktree gives you a vertical stack of buttons, the format that made the category. Bento arranges your content as a grid of tiles, which looks more composed and is a favorite among designers.
Choosing between a button stack and a tile grid comes down to how you want the page to read. Both are tidy. Neither reads quite like a real homepage that walks a visitor through who you are. That is the gap a third option fills.

Where Linktree wins, and where it does not
Linktree is simple, fast, and familiar. A button stack is the most recognizable link in bio format, and you can have one live in minutes.
The limit is sameness. Every Linktree looks like the next, and turning your photo, bio, and work into a row of identical buttons flattens them. Design control only goes so far.
Where Bento wins, and where it does not
Bento's grid looks composed out of the box. For a moodboard feel where you want a lot in a small space, the tile system is genuinely nice and popular with designers for good reason.
The friction is that the grid does the deciding. A long bio, a featured project, and a short list of links all have different natural shapes, and forcing them into equal tiles means arranging content to fit the boxes. A grid also does not read in a clear order, so visitors scan tiles rather than being walked through your story.
The third option: mypage.cc
mypage.cc reads top to bottom like a personal homepage. You lead with a photo and bio, then your best work, then links in priority order. You pick from 61 premium themes, each a full design system, so the page looks finished and switching themes never breaks the layout.
Blocks are sized to your content rather than to a grid: text sections, link rows, image galleries, video embeds, social icons, contact buttons, and Instagram-style stories. AI can draft the first version from a sentence, and pages ship near-zero JavaScript so they load instantly on mobile.
