Switching takes four steps, and nothing goes live until you say so. Keep your Bio link page running until the last one.
Four steps to switch
- Import: paste your Bio link address and review each link before it comes over. Anything that isn’t a web address is held back for you to fix.
- Subscribers: export your list from Bio link as a CSV and import it; each address keeps its consent date.
- Domain: add your domain, root domain too, and follow the DNS steps; we recheck every 60 seconds while setup is open.
- Go live: publish, test the page on your phone, then update the link in your bio.
Bio besties vs Bio link, feature by feature
Checked in October 2026. Every Bio link fact links to the capture it comes from: our hands-on test of the app or Bio link’s own pages.
| Feature | Bio besties (planned) | Bio.link (tested) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| URL check before a link goes live | ✓ Yes Invalid URLs are blocked before saving | ✕ No “not a url” went live as a broken http:// link | Our hands-on test, Oct 2026 (F-001) |
| Social icons | ✓ Handle or URL Accepts a handle or a full URL; each icon labelled with its network for screen readers | ✕ URL only Rejects a bare handle; every icon’s screen-reader label is “social-icon” | Our hands-on test, Oct 2026 (F-003) |
| Custom domain setup | ✓ Root domain Root domain supported; DNS rechecked every 60 seconds while setup is open (Plus) | CNAME only CNAME record pointing at cd.bio.link only, with a manual refresh (Pro) | Bio.link domain setup screen (F-013) |
| Subscribe form errors | ✓ Error text Clear error text, plus CSV export | ✕ Silent Blocks an invalid email but shows no error text | Our hands-on test, Oct 2026 (F-010) |
