Free plan vs Pro plan — what's included
1smart.link offers two plans for marketers and creators: a Free plan to get started with bio pages and basic features, and a Pro plan that unlocks the full links toolkit, custom domains, retargeting pixels, and more. This article breaks down exactly what each plan includes so you can decide which is right for you.
Note: If you are an Amazon seller looking for PPC optimisation and AI-powered insights, those features are part of the full-suite plans (Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual). This article covers the Free and Pro plans for marketers and creators only.

What you get on the Free plan
The Free plan gives you everything you need to create and publish bio pages. You have access to core widgets, 100 MB of media storage for images and files, and your pages are served on a 1smart.link subdomain URL.
The main limitation is the Links Manager. On a free account, visiting Dashboard → Links displays a frosted-glass "Upgrade to Pro" overlay. You cannot create or manage short links, set up retargeting pixels, or use advanced link features until you upgrade.
The Free plan is a good fit if you only need a simple bio page with a handful of widgets and do not need click tracking, retargeting, or branded short links.
What the Pro plan adds
The Pro plan costs $119 per year and removes every restriction on the Free plan. Here is what unlocks when you upgrade.
Full Links Manager
The upgrade overlay disappears and you gain full access to the Links Manager. You can create and manage multiple link types:
- Short links — branded, trackable URLs you can share anywhere.
- Amazon SFB links — optimised links for Amazon products.
- Flipkart links — optimised links for Flipkart products.
- vCard links — digital contact cards that recipients can save directly.
10 GB media storage
Your storage quota increases from 100 MB to 10 GB, giving you room for larger images, PDFs, and other media assets across your bio pages and links.
Up to 5 custom domains with auto-SSL
You can connect up to five of your own domains (e.g. go.yourbrand.com) and 1smart.link provisions SSL certificates automatically. Every link and bio page on a custom domain uses HTTPS by default.
Retargeting pixels
Pro supports retargeting pixels from 10 platforms: Meta, GA4, Google Ads, GTM, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Snapchat, Pinterest, and a Custom Code option for any other tracking script. Once added, your pixels fire on every link click and bio page visit, building audiences you can retarget in your ad campaigns.
Advanced link settings
- Widget-level click tracking — see exactly which widget or button drives clicks.
- Link expiry — set a date or click limit after which a link stops redirecting.
- UTM parameters — append campaign, source, and medium tags automatically.
- Forward URL parameters — pass query parameters from the short link through to the destination URL.
- Full template library — access every bio page template, not just the core set.
When to upgrade
Consider upgrading to Pro if you need any of the following:
- Branded short links on your own domain.
- Retargeting pixels to build ad audiences from link clicks.
- More than 100 MB of media storage.
- Click-level analytics and UTM tracking for campaigns.
- Link expiry controls for time-sensitive promotions.
If you only need a basic bio page and are not running paid campaigns, the Free plan may be all you need.
Full-suite plans for Amazon sellers
The full-suite plans (Monthly at $99/mo, Quarterly at $249, or Annual at $899) include every Pro feature plus the Amazon Ads Optimiser and AI-powered insights. If you sell on Amazon and want PPC management alongside your marketing links, those plans are the better fit.
Money-back guarantee
All paid plans come with a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first purchase. If the plan is not the right fit, contact support within 14 days for a full refund.
