Taplink packs in CRM and store features, but most of what makes it useful — a real storefront, click analytics, a custom domain — sits behind paid plans, and its free plan ships with watermarks and pageview counts instead of real analytics. knit.bio flips that: a store, checkout, and full analytics are included from the free plan, with 0% fees on whatever you sell.
| Feature | knit.bio | Taplink |
|---|---|---|
| Sell products directly | Yes — included from the free plan, 0% fees | Only on higher paid tiers |
| Fee when you sell | 0%, on every plan, forever | Flat subscription cost regardless of sales, on top of tier pricing |
| Analytics on the free plan | Yes — full click and visitor analytics, free | Limited pageview stats only; real analytics needs a paid plan |
| Branding on the free plan | Removable on paid plans | Watermarked on the free plan |
| Free plan | Yes — unlimited links, one page, forever | Yes, but with watermarks and no storefront or real analytics |
Taplink leans further into CRM tooling (contact forms feeding a built-in CRM) on its higher tiers. knit.bio covers email/phone lead capture as a block, but isn't trying to be a full CRM — if that's specifically what you need, Taplink's paid tiers go deeper there.
Based on Taplink's own plan comparison, the storefront and real analytics are gated to its higher paid tiers — the free plan ships watermarked with pageview stats only. knit.bio includes both a storefront and full analytics on the free plan.
