4 Milkshake alternatives, and when to stay with Milkshake
Milkshake started as a link in bio app and is now a website builder for creators: you build a small site of swipeable cards from your phone. If you like that format, it is a good tool. These alternatives make sense when you want a classic list of links, a local business page or a site you build on a computer.
Short answer
Milkshake is a small mobile website; VISU Link is a single link page. Choose VISU if you want links, social icons and a QR code on one page, plus dynamic QR codes and a local business page on the same account. Stay with Milkshake if you like building on your phone, want several cards or sell digital files.

Questions
Is Milkshake still a link in bio app?
Milkshake now presents itself as a website builder for creators, built on your phone with swipeable cards. You can still put links on it, but the product is a small site rather than a single list of links.
Is VISU free like Milkshake?
Yes. The VISU Free plan needs no credit card and includes one VISU Link with 5 links and 5 social icons, a QR code, 2 dynamic QR codes and 7 days of analytics. Paid plans start at $5 per month.
Can I sell digital products on VISU Link?
No. VISU Link has no store or checkout. If selling files is part of your page, Milkshake or Beacons fit better.
