A Linktree alternative for artists who want inquiries, not links.
Linktree is a menu. Collectors need a room, a reel, and a way to inquire. MOCKLIO Smart Portfolio puts mockups, cinematic video, listings, and 0% commission inquiries behind one bio link: username.mockl.io.
Your bio link should sell the hang — not host a scavenger hunt
Linktree earned its place for creators with ten destinations. Artists usually have one job in the bio: show the work like it belongs on a wall, then let a serious collector inquire without a 15% marketplace.
A Linktree alternative for artists is a portfolio that already contains photoreal mockups and cinematic reels from MOCKLIO — the same assets you post on Instagram. One loop. One link.
Keep Linktree if you truly need a podcast, Patreon, and print shop in a list. Switch when “DM for price” is killing conversion.

FAQ
Linktree alternative FAQ
Artists need a bio link that shows work in context and takes inquiries — not a list of URLs. MOCKLIO Smart Portfolio (username.mockl.io) includes photoreal mockups, cinematic reels, listings, and collector inquiries at 0% commission. That is a sales page, not a link directory.
Linktree is a menu. Collectors still have to imagine scale, open five tabs, and DM for price. A MOCKLIO portfolio shows the hang, plays the reel, and lets serious buyers inquire in one place. Fewer clicks between interest and conversation.
No. Inquiries are 0% commission. MOCKLIO is not the merchant of record for the artwork. You close off-platform. SaaS plans (Pro, Studio, etc.) cover the software.
Yes. Publish your Smart Portfolio and paste username.mockl.io (or your custom domain on higher plans) into Instagram, TikTok, and email signatures. Pair it with Reels and carousels from the same hang.
Generic portfolio builders start empty. MOCKLIO portfolios are filled with the mockups and reels you already created in the loop. The bio link and the content pack share the same media.
Free users can create and may draft an unpublished portfolio when that feature is enabled. Publishing, custom domains, and power loop features are paid. Check live pricing for current limits.
