🧩 Bio Links

✅ Yes
Create rich landing pages linking to all your destinations — music, merch, podcast, and social. Works well, clean layout, fully customizable.

🔐 Pre-saves

🟡 Yes – Limited Data
You can get some data, but Spotify restricts access unless fans opt in. Linkfire doesn’t give you everything Feature.fm does.

🕓 Future Save

❌ No
Not supported. Not a huge loss, but still missing compared to others.

🌍 Release Auto-Route

✅ Yes
Redirects fans to localized platform versions based on their country. Good for global releases.

🎁 Contests

✅ Yes
Contests can be built using their form system. You’ll need some creativity, but the bones are there.

⚙️ Fan Actions

Mostly standard: save, follow, click. Doesn’t support creative or platform-specific actions the way Toneden or Hypeddit does.

🎫 Tour & Podcast Smart Links

✅ Yes
Supports event listings and podcast links. Solid multi-purpose capability.

🔗 URL Shortener

✅ Yes
Shorten links and track everything. Helpful for affiliate tracking, collaborations, and promotions.

🏪 Store Integration & Auto-gen

✅ Super Extensive + Accurate
One of the best in the business. Auto-generates links for global platforms — less manual effort.

🧰 Custom Store Integration

✅ Yes
You can request custom stores and logos. Unfortunately, some actions require support to do it manually.

✏️ Custom CTAs

✅ Yes
Full customization of button text. Great for on-brand messaging.

🧭 Channel Management

✅ Yes
Use parameters to track where clicks come from (bio, comments, etc.). Crucial for ad tracking.

🔀 Conditional Redirects

✅ Yes
Redirect based on device type. Optional but useful in certain cases.

💡 Bounce Redirect

❌ No
If a user leaves without taking action, there’s no redirect option to a fallback destination.

🌐 Territory Management

✅ Yes
Reorder stores by region. Works well if you’re marketing internationally.

💬 Fanbase Messaging

❌ No
No built-in fan messaging or autoresponders. You’ll need another tool for that.

📊 Analytics

✅ Great – Extensive
Linkfire is top-tier for analytics and link-level streaming insights. Only major gap? No Spotify data.

📬 Email Integrations

🟡 Yes – Basic Only
Allows email collection, but doesn’t tie it into Pre-save actions. You’ll need to export and manage manually.

🎯 Retargeting Pixels

🟡 Yes – Limited
Supports most pixels but blocks Google Tag Manager and Analytics. Pain for ad campaigns.

📈 Streaming Insights

✅ Yes
One of the few with actual streaming data per link. You can’t track which channel led to those streams, but it’s still ahead of most platforms.

Final Verdict:

🟡 Good but Clunky
Linkfire is powerful, but the experience can feel corporate and outdated. Great for big campaigns. Risky for smaller teams.
