Question 1

Is Gigstart.me really free compared to Linktree?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gigstart.me is free with no credit card and no trial, with smart links, artist pages, analytics, and email capture included. Linktree also has a free tier; longer analytics history and branding removal require paid plans.

Question 2

Can I use Gigstart.me and Linktree together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can keep Linktree for mixed creator content and use Gigstart.me for release smart links and your music-focused artist page.

Question 3

Does Gigstart.me support custom domains?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. Custom domains are on the Gigstart.me roadmap.

Question 4

Do fans need an account to open my Gigstart.me links?

Accepted Answer

No. Smart links and artist pages are public. Fans open the link and choose a streaming service without signing up or downloading an app.

Question 5

I already have a Linktree with lots of links. Is switching hard?

Accepted Answer

You can rebuild your music links on a Gigstart.me artist page, then change the link in your social bios while leaving old Linktree URLs live during the transition.

Question 6

Which is better for release campaigns?

Accepted Answer

Gigstart.me is focused on music releases, with one smart link for supported streaming services and an artist page that keeps your catalog in one place. Linktree is a broader link-in-bio product for many creator types.
