Kilat: for creators who sell and want Instagram replies automated
We list Kilat first because we make it. Check the table below and judge it against the others.
Kilat's Free plan gives you a Superlink bio page with Kilat branding, unlimited digital products, unlimited courses with quizzes and certificates, and unlimited booking types with Google Calendar sync. Order bumps, upsells and discount codes are on Free too. Kilat takes 4% of sales on Free and 0% on PRO, and the payment processor's fee applies on top.
PRO costs US$15 a month, or US$108 a year (US$9 a month). In Indonesia it is Rp229.000 a month or Rp1.644.000 a year. It adds Instagram auto-DM, a WhatsApp AI agent, paid Telegram memberships, a custom domain and no Kilat branding. Every new account gets one 14-day PRO trial, no card.
The limits: Instagram auto-DM needs PRO, so Beacons is the better pick if you want it on a free plan. The WhatsApp AI agent pairs with numbers in Indonesia and Singapore only. Linktree is the better-known name.
Beacons: for creators who want auto-DM on a free plan
Beacons has a free plan, and its pricing page lists keyword-triggered Instagram DM automations on all four plans. Creator costs $10 a month ($100 a year).
Beacons takes 9% of sales on Free and Creator, and 0% from Creator Plus ($30 a month, or $300 a year). The limits: advanced DM automations carry Beacons branding on Free and Creator, and you get one course without video hosting until Creator Plus.
Stan Store: for creators who want one flat price and no sales fee
Stan Store charges 0% on sales, so only Stripe or PayPal processing applies. Creator costs $29 a month or $300 a year. It includes booking tools, an unlimited course builder, recurring subscriptions, lead magnets and Stan AutoDM for Instagram.
There is no free plan, only a 14-day free trial. Order bumps, upsells and discount codes are listed under Creator Pro ($99 a month, or $948 a year). Stan's pages do not say whether creators in Indonesia can get paid.
Lynk.id: for Indonesian creators who want to sell in Rupiah
Lynk.id is an Indonesian link-in-bio and store tool that many Indonesian creators already use. Basic is free, with a 5% transaction fee and a Rp5.000 fee per withdrawal. Pro is Rp99.000 a month before PPN, with a 3% fee and free withdrawals.
It lists digital products, video courses and appointments. It does not list Instagram comment-to-DM on its pricing or features pages. Its pricing page also shows 10% and 5% crossed out next to those fees, so check the current rate before you commit.
Taplink: for a cheap page that sells with no transaction fee
Taplink's Basic plan is $0. Pro is $6 a month with a three-month minimum ($3 a month on the 12-month option). Selling digital products needs Business, at $12 a month ($6 a month on the 12-month option).
Taplink lists a 0% transaction fee. Its pricing page does not list Instagram auto-DM, courses or bookings.
Bio.link: for a simple bio page with an email list
Bio.link has a free tier. Pro is $14.99 a month, or $7.49 a month billed yearly, with a 7-day free trial. The page lists link pages, an AI chat widget, an email list and a custom domain.
It lists no selling features, fees, courses or bookings, so it suits a page that points to a store somewhere else.
Carrd: for a one-page site on a tiny budget
Carrd has no monthly plan. Pro Lite is $9 a year, and Pro Standard, which adds payment-enabled forms, is $19 a year. Payments run through your own Stripe, PayPal or Gumroad embed, and the page mentions no sales fee.
Its page lists no courses, bookings or Instagram auto-DM. It works as a simple site that links out to the places where you sell.
