The all-in-one Linkfire alternative
Linkfire is a strong, dedicated smart-link platform. If you want smart links as part of running your whole label, PromoLink builds them in: smart links and pre-saves alongside DJ promo, analytics, communication and a label page, free to start, with Trust Scores that show real support.
Linkfire is a real, mature smart-link platform, and polished smart links plus deep audience analytics are genuine strengths of it. PromoLink takes a different approach: smart links and pre-saves are built into a whole label operating system, so a release link also feeds your promo, analytics and owned mailing list rather than living in a separate tool. For the smart-link side specifically, see PromoLink SmartLinks.
