PromoLinks vs Linkfire
Linkfire is the enterprise smart link platform used by major labels. PromoLinks brings the same core idea to independent artists, managers, and labels at a friendlier price and with a full artist page around it.
Linkfire built its reputation on release smart links and deep analytics, and major labels use it at scale. If you are Universal, it is a fine choice.
Most artists are not Universal. PromoLinks gives you the same essential machinery (smart links, pre-saves, analytics, retargeting pixels) plus things Linkfire does not focus on: a complete artist page at your own subdomain, a tip jar, event pages, a fan wall, and tools to actually own your audience with email, SMS, and WhatsApp.
