Carrd is a one-page site builder rather than a link list, which makes it a flexible bio link for creators who want their own layout. Pro Lite costs $9 a year and removes the Made with Carrd branding across 3 sites. Pro Standard, at $19 a year, is the useful tier for this list: it adds custom domains, forms, widgets, embeds and analytics across 10 sites. Signup forms connect to 20 email services including Mailchimp, Kit, beehiiv, Klaviyo and MailerLite, and payment-enabled forms and Stripe, PayPal or Gumroad embeds let you take money. Analytics run on Carrd's own cookie-free service or a third-party tool such as Google Analytics, Plausible or Matomo. Pro Plus, at $49 a year, adds 25 sites, advanced forms, password protection and redirects. You can try Pro for 7 days without a card. The trade-off is setup time, since you design a page instead of adding buttons.
