Link-in-bio research changelog
Platforms change their pricing and documentation, and we get things wrong. When the source record changes, we correct the corpus and record the change here — the old value, the new value, the reason and the evidence. Corpus last updated 2026-09-18.
Only material factual changes appear here. Wording edits and new pages do not.

Linklay: Server-rendered profile HTML
- Previous value
- unverified — a raw request for a profile path returned the shared marketing shell rather than profile-specific HTML
- Current value
- Verified: a raw request for a public profile returns profile-specific HTML, including display name, bio text, link labels, page title, OpenGraph tags and two JSON-LD blocks
- Why it changed
- Re-tested directly. The earlier check used a browser user agent and received a Cloudflare challenge shell, which we mistook for the application shell. Repeating the request as Googlebot, Bingbot and GPTBot returns a 5.6 KB document containing the profile's own content. Because search and answer engines crawl with those agents, the crawler-facing response is the one that determines indexability.

Linktree: Custom domain
- Previous value
- Paid plans
- Current value
- Not offered on any plan
- Why it changed
- Our previous value was wrong. Linktree's help centre states directly that it does not offer the option to use a custom domain to replace the linktr.ee URL, and does not provide domain forwarding tools. A redirect link to your own site is the documented alternative. This was corrected on the platform profile, the buyer guide, every comparison, the capability grid and the machine-readable files.

Carrd: Custom domain
- Previous value
- Any Pro tier
- Current value
- Pro Standard or higher ($19/year)
- Why it changed
- Carrd's documentation for using a custom domain is labelled 'Requires Pro Standard or higher', so the $9/year Pro Lite tier does not include one. The buyer guide's 'cheapest custom domain' framing was corrected to name the $19/year tier.

Beacons: Monthly and annual price
- Previous value
- unverified — Beacons' own pricing pages render tier prices inconsistently
- Current value
- $10/month or $100/year (Creator); $30/month or $300/year (Creator Plus); $90/month or $900/year (Creator Max)
- Why it changed
- The plan-comparison article in Beacons' help centre now states each tier's monthly and annual price, so the field moves from unverified to verified.

Stan Store: Custom domain
- Previous value
- unverified
- Current value
- Not available on any plan
- Why it changed
- Stan's help centre states there is no way to connect a custom domain yet and suggests domain forwarding instead. This is a documented absence, so it is now recorded as a verified 'no' rather than a gap.

Campsite: Pixels, analytics history and custom domain
- Previous value
- unverified — the help centre describes tracking pixels as a paid 'premium integration' without naming tiers
- Current value
- Meta pixel, TikTok pixel, Google Analytics, UTM parameters, custom domain and branding removal are all Pro-plan features; analytics history is 14 days on Free, 60 days on Pro and lifetime on Pro+ with CSV export
- Why it changed
- Campsite's plan-features article and the individual pixel setup guides state the Pro requirement explicitly, which resolves several fields we had recorded as unverified.
2026-09-18
Corpus: Fact model
- Previous value
- One source list per platform record
- Current value
- Per-assertion provenance: every field carries its own verification status, source references and check date
- Why it changed
- Readers and answer engines could previously see which sources a record used, but not which source supported which claim. Each field now names its own evidence, and the JSON and CSV datasets expose the same structure. A field that cannot name a source fails the build.
