Solo.to is the cheapest way to get a tidy page. HeyBio is built for what happens after the tap.
Solo.to competes on price, and it competes well. A paid tier at roughly a dollar a month is cheaper than anything else in this category, and the free plan carries up to 25 links, which is more than most pages ever need.
HeyBio does not try to win on price and would lose if it did. What HeyBio does instead is take one specific failure in the creator funnel, the click that dies inside the Instagram browser, and fix it. Everything else in the product is smaller than Solo.to's feature list on purpose.
So this comparison comes down to a single question: is your problem that a link page costs too much, or that your link page is quietly losing conversions?
Side by side
| HeyBio | Solo.to | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it was designed for | Adult and NSFW-adjacent creators, plus Telegram and Snapchat sellers | Anyone who wants a low-cost, good-looking link page |
| In-app browser escape | Clicks from the Instagram and TikTok in-app browser are pushed to the device's real browser, and the dashboard counts how many clicks that rescued | No equivalent |
| Per-link geo filtering | Hide or show an individual button by country, failing closed when the country is unknown. Available on Pro | Not offered per individual link |
| Free plan | No free tier. A 7-day trial, then 9 euros a month or 90 a year | Yes, up to 25 links with themes and social icons |
| Entry paid price | 9 euros a month, or 90 a year | Around 1 dollar a month billed annually on the Personal tier |
| Custom domain | Custom domain on Pro, or the shorter heybio.io/yourname on every plan | Professional tier only, the highest paid plan |
| Branding on your page | No HeyBio badge on your page on any paid plan | Removing the footer branding is a Professional-tier option |
| Analytics | Clicks per link, per country and per source, plus the count of clicks rescued from the in-app browser | Tiered by plan, from 1 month on free up to 24 months on Professional |
Who Solo.to is genuinely better for
Solo.to is the better pick more often than a page on our own site might suggest.
It is dramatically cheaper. Entry paid tiers sit around a dollar a month billed annually, against 9 euros for HeyBio. If budget is the binding constraint, this is not close.
It has a workable free tier. Twenty-five links, page themes, icons and social buttons cost nothing. HeyBio gives you seven days and then asks for money.
It has more surface area. Contact capture, social pixels and longer analytics retention on higher tiers cover things HeyBio simply does not do.
Its analytics run longer on paper. The Professional tier advertises 24 months of history. HeyBio keeps your history too, but our reporting is narrow by design: clicks by link, country and source, plus rescued clicks. If you want funnels and pixel-based attribution, that is not us.
As always, verify pricing at the source. Annual and monthly rates differ and the gap between them is large here.
Who is better off with HeyBio
HeyBio earns its higher price in exactly one situation: when a lost click costs you a paying subscriber.
That is the in-app browser problem. Instagram and TikTok open links in an internal browser that usually cannot see your saved logins. A visitor who already pays for a platform lands there signed out, meets a login wall, and gives up. HeyBio pushes that click into the real browser on the phone, and reports how many clicks it saved, so the benefit is measured rather than claimed.
Geo filtering per link is the second thing. Individual buttons can be hidden by country, and the rule fails closed when the country is unknown, which is the behaviour you want if the reason for hiding is compliance rather than preference.
The third is focus. HeyBio has no themes gallery and no integrations directory. If you find that limiting, Solo.to will suit you better. If you have ever spent an hour choosing a theme instead of fixing your funnel, the narrowness is the feature.
Moving from Solo.to without losing followers
- Build the HeyBio page first at heybio.io/yourname while your Solo.to page stays exactly as it is.
- Move your links in priority order rather than the order they happen to sit in. Most people discover half their buttons were never clicked.
- Open every destination once. Links that quietly started redirecting or died are the usual surprise.
- Set geo rules before the page goes public, so no button is ever visible in a country where it should not be.
- Switch the bio link on Instagram and TikTok only after you have opened the finished page on your own phone.
- Leave Solo.to running for a few weeks. It costs about a dollar and it catches traffic from older posts.
Questions
Is Solo.to really a dollar a month?
On the Personal tier billed annually, yes, which makes it the cheapest serious option in this category. Entrepreneur and Professional cost more, and custom domains only appear on Professional. Check their pricing page for the current numbers before you commit.
Why would I pay nine times more for HeyBio?
Only for one reason: if clicks dying inside the Instagram browser are costing you subscribers. If they are not, the extra cost buys you very little and you should stay where you are.
Do I lose my links when I switch?
No. Links are just URLs, and you copy them across. The thing you actually leave behind is the click history on the old tool, so export or screenshot anything you want to keep before you stop using it.
Which has better analytics?
Different rather than better. Solo.to retains longer on higher tiers and adds pixels. HeyBio reports clicks by link, country and source plus the rescued-click count, which no general tool measures because none of them are looking for it.
Can I run both at once?
Yes, and for a few weeks you probably should. There is no technical conflict, and it lets old posts keep working while your new page takes over.
