Linktree is everywhere. It’s the default “link in bio” tool — drop it in your Instagram or TikTok profile and you’ve got one hub for all your links.

But here’s the truth: Linktree doesn’t sell for you.

If you’re an indie seller, you don’t just need a page of links. You need to drop goods, own your buyers, and actually make sales.

That’s where Clued comes in.

  • AI-powered Scenes that turn your goods into scroll-stopping drops.
  • Subscribers + built-in messaging — collect, own, and reach buyers directly.
  • Your shop + checkout — payments, shipping, order tracking included.
  • Linktree compatible — add your Clued shop link to your bio and suddenly your links convert into buyers.

👉 Linktree organizes links. Clued makes them sell.

Linktree: What it does well

  • Clean, recognizable link hub.
  • Easy setup and customization.
  • Email collection (on paid tiers) — useful for growing a list.

But Linktree stops at links. It won’t sell your goods, build drops, or let you message subscribers without extra tools.

How Clued complements Linktree

Clued fills the selling and communication gap Linktree leaves:

Clued Linktree
Core Shop + growth. Scenes, drops, subscribers built in. Link hub. Static page of links.
Selling Built-in. Shop, checkout, shipping included. None. Requires external platforms.
Subscribers Collect + message. Built-in list ownership and messaging. Collect only. Must export to Mailchimp/Kit/etc.
Marketing AI-powered Scenes. Scroll-stopping content. DIY. Just links.
Together Drop your Clued shop link inside Linktree → instant sales + subscriber messaging. Acts as the doorway to your Clued shop.

Why sellers use Clued + Linktree together

  • From links to sales → Linktree stays your hub, Clued is the shop behind it.
  • From static to scroll-stopping → Scenes market your goods, not just links.
  • From clicks out to buyers in → Every Clued drop builds subscribers you own — and can message directly.
  • From generic to branded → Your Linktree points people to a shop that feels alive.

“I still use Linktree, but now my Clued shop is at the top. Buyers click and actually buy — not just bounce around links.”
