ShareLynk vs Linktree: Why GPS Tracking Changes Everything

January 14, 2026
2 min read

Linktree helped popularize link-in-bio pages, but it was built for social clicks, not real-world scans. ShareLynk combines digital profiles with QR analytics so you can see where people engage in the real world.

ShareLynk vs Linktree: The Core Difference

Linktree focuses on organizing links. ShareLynk focuses on what happens after someone scans a QR code in a physical space. With ShareLynk, your digital profile is tied to a trackable QR and QR Analytics that show location, device, and scan trends.

When Linktree Works Well

  • Social bio links that do not need location tracking
  • Simple link lists with minimal branding control
  • Content that only lives on mobile social platforms

When ShareLynk Is the Better Fit

  • Events, signage, and printed materials that use QR codes
  • Teams that need analytics by location and time
  • Businesses that want one QR to update links later

ShareLynk lets you create a dynamic QR code, link it to a profile, and update destinations anytime without reprinting.

Feature Comparison

  • ShareLynk: QR analytics, location insights, dynamic updates, and profiles in one dashboard
  • Linktree: Link list with limited analytics and no QR location tracking
