The Linktree alternative hosted in Europe, with your own QR code

Linktree is the page most people picture when they hear "link in bio". It is free to start, it works, and it has an ecosystem of shops, integrations and scheduling tools around it. So why would a European business look for a Linktree alternative? Usually for one of three reasons: the page carries someone else's branding, the visitor data travels outside the EU, or the business wants the same page to work on printed material as well as on Instagram. EUQR was built around that third case, and the first two follow from how it is hosted.

Every Linktree fact below comes from linktr.ee on 23 September 2026. Where Linktree does not publish something, we say so.

EUQR versus Linktree at a glance

• Hosting: EUQR hosts pages, scan data and short-link data in Amsterdam. Linktree's privacy policy names Linktree Pty Ltd in Collingwood, Australia, and says personal information is transferred to Australia, the United States and other countries.
• Price: EUQR link in bio pages are part of Pro at €9 per month or €90 per year, with 50 dynamic QR codes and 250 short links in the same plan. Linktree charges in US dollars: Free, Starter at USD 8 per month (USD 6 per month billed annually), Pro at USD 15 (USD 12 annually) and Premium at USD 35 (USD 30 annually).
• Branding: Linktree's Free plan shows Linktree branding; the pricing page lists "Remove Linktree branding" under Pro. An EUQR page carries your logo, your colours and your button shapes.
• Sales: Linktree sells products through the page and lists a 9 percent seller fee on digital products for Starter and Pro, dropping to 0 percent on Premium. EUQR sells nothing through your page and takes no fee, because there is no shop.
• Tracking: EUQR sets no tracking cookies on your page and stores no raw IP addresses. Linktree's policy says it uses cookies and similar tracking technologies and collects IP address, device identifiers and links clicked.
• Print: an EUQR page is reachable through a dynamic QR code you can edit later. Linktree lists a QR code generator among its features; the pricing page we read does not tie it to a specific plan.

Why a Linktree alternative should own the QR code

A link in bio page lives in two places: behind one tap on social media, and behind a QR code on a menu, a flyer, a van door or a shipping box. The second use is where most page builders fall short, because they treat the QR code as a download rather than as a managed asset.

With EUQR the page and the code come from the same account. You create the page at qreu.eu/your-name, add as many links and social icons as you want, and generate one dynamic QR code that points at it. When the page changes, the code stays valid. For a seasonal campaign you change the destination and leave the print run alone. Each placement can have its own code, so you learn whether the box, the counter card or the poster brings visitors, as counts rather than as profiles.

Take a bakery with two shops and a market stall. One page lists the order form, the weekly menu, the review link and Instagram. Three codes point at it: paper bags, counter stand, stall banner. The owner sees scans per code by country, device, browser and language, with no cookie banner and no record of any individual visitor.

Where your visitors' data goes

This is the part that gets a European marketing team into a meeting with the privacy officer. Linktree's privacy policy, effective 5 July 2026, says the company automatically collects IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser type, broad geographic location, time zone, pages accessed and links clicked. It says personal information is transferred to Australia, where the company is headquartered, to the United States and to other countries where it does business, with standard contractual clauses as the safeguard. It also refers to a separate Cookie Notice for the cookies and tracking technologies it uses, and says it works with advertising networks and marketing service providers.

None of that is unusual for a global platform. It does mean a transfer assessment and a cookie banner are your job if you send European customers there. EUQR takes the other route. Pages, scan data and short-link data are hosted in Amsterdam. We never store raw IP addresses; scan analytics are computed from privacy-preserving, daily-rotated hashes. There are no third-party tracking cookies on the page, which is why you do not need a cookie banner on it. What you see are counts per code and per link, and that is all anyone sees. The QR analytics page describes what a dashboard contains.

One caveat we would rather state than hide: payments for your EUQR subscription run through Stripe. Scan data and short-link data are what stays in Amsterdam.

What the page looks like and what it costs

An EUQR link in bio page is available on Pro and up. Pro costs €9 per month or €90 per year, excluding VAT, and the plan also includes 50 dynamic QR codes, 250 short links on qreu.eu, 90 days of analytics retention and 4 team seats. You upload a logo, pick colours and button shapes, and add unlimited links and social icons. The page address is qreu.eu/your-name. Add, remove or reorder links whenever you like; the page and the QR code stay valid.

There is no free EUQR link in bio page, and we do not pretend otherwise. If you want a page for nothing, Linktree's Free plan exists and works. If you want a page without someone else's logo on it, Linktree lists that on Pro at USD 15 per month, while EUQR includes it in Pro at €9 per month together with the QR codes and short links you will need for print. Full plan details are on the pricing page.

What happens when you leave

Printed codes outlive subscriptions. If you cancel EUQR, your dynamic codes and short links show your own branded Recovery Page for 90 days, with a message and a link you choose, and then a generic EUQR page. Your static codes keep working forever because they never depended on us. Linktree's pricing page does not describe what happens to a QR code pointing at a profile after a downgrade, so we make no claim about it.

Where Linktree still makes sense

A fair comparison names the cases where the other product wins. Linktree is the better tool if you want to sell digital products or courses directly from the page, take payments, or earn from brand offers; EUQR has no shop and no payment step. It is the better tool if you need integrations with mailing lists, Shopify or scheduling tools, or want social media scheduling from the same account. Its Premium plan lists dynamic links and smart routing, which EUQR does not offer; one EUQR code has one destination at a time. And Linktree has a free tier, which EUQR's link in bio does not.

There are also things EUQR deliberately leaves out. No retargeting pixels can be added to your page, no per-visitor tracking, no split testing of destinations. That is the trade you make for a page you can put in front of European customers without a consent banner.

Who each one is for

Choose Linktree if your page is mainly a social profile, you sell through it, and you want the widest set of integrations. Choose EUQR if your page will also be printed, if you would rather not add a cookie banner for a page with six links on it, if you want euro pricing, and if the same account should manage your short links and your QR codes.
