For many coaches, the link in their Instagram or TikTok bio is the whole shop: a free call, a session, maybe a package. Stan Store and Linktree are the two names everyone starts with. They are built for creators selling products and links; if what you sell is your time, the details that matter are different.

The short answer

  • Choose Calybee if people mostly book calls, sessions, packs or memberships from your bio, from $19 a month.
  • Stay on Stan Store if digital products and courses are most of your sales, from $29 a month.
  • Use Linktree's free plan if you only need a tidy list of links.

1. Calybee

Best for: coaches whose bio link is mostly bookings

Calybee's link in bio page is built for someone selling time:

  • The calendar on the page, with times in the visitor's own time zone, in 12 languages
  • A free call, sessions, packs and memberships paid at booking into your own Stripe or PayPal
  • Your links and socials on the same page, with real platform logos
  • A WhatsApp or message button for people who want to ask first
  • Reviews asked for after each session and shown on the page
  • Digital products and gift cards beside the sessions
  • The Bee builds the page from a sentence and changes it when you ask

Where it falls short: no courses, no marketing email campaigns, no affiliate links, and reminders by email only.

2. Stan Store

Best for: creators selling digital products and courses

A store in your bio: digital downloads, courses, lead magnets, email, and calendar bookings for calls. Creator is $29 a month; Creator Pro ($99) adds payment plans, unlimited email and pixel tracking. No transaction fees on either.

3. Linktree

Best for: a simple list of links

The free plan covers unlimited basic links and email sign-ups. Paid plans add design, analytics and selling, from $7 a month billed yearly. Booking happens in whichever tool you link to.

What a link in bio that books looks like

  1. One line on who you help, not your job title.
  2. The calendar or the free call first, so the most common action is one tap.
  3. Your paid options next: a single session, a pack, a membership, with prices.
  4. Two or three reviews in your clients' own words.
  5. Then the links to your podcast, YouTube or newsletter.
