Avely.me and Kasbu are two of the grid-style link-in-bio pages people moved to when Bento closed. Both let you place cards of different sizes on a grid instead of stacking buttons. The differences are in the plans, the extras and the speed, so that is what this comparison covers.

Every Avely number below comes from avely.me/pricing and its Business Card page, checked on 14 October 2026. Prices change, so check them again before you decide. Kasbu numbers come from Kasbu's own plan limits on the same date.

The free plans

Kasbu Free gives each profile 25 cards across up to 3 pages, and you can have 2 profiles. All 36 card types are included, from Spotify and YouTube to maps, Calendly and product cards. Since 13 October 2026 the whole Design menu is free too: the 24 colors and a custom color picker, background photos, animated effects, patterns, the 14 fonts and the 6 card materials. You get 150 MB of storage for uploads and a pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet with your QR code.

Avely Free gives you a page with links, photos, text, maps, a contact widget and social widgets, built from ready-made themes. Custom themes start on the paid Creator plan. Video uploads are capped at 25 MB each, and the free plan can hold up to 30 contacts collected from your page.

Both free plans carry the platform's branding. On Kasbu it is a "Follow on Kasbu" button that visitors without an account see on your page. On Avely the pricing page lists "Avely branding: Included" on Free and Creator.

Paid plans and the badge

Avely's Creator plan is cheap, but it keeps the Avely branding. It adds custom themes, a verified badge, forms with 100 submissions a month, 100 contacts and 3 days of analytics. To remove the branding you need Avely Pro.

Kasbu has one paid plan. Pro removes the Kasbu badge, lifts the card and page limits, raises profiles to 10 and storage to 30 GB, adds a custom domain, lets you embed your grid on another website and opens every analytics range. Kasbu charges in US dollars, and Stripe shows the equivalent in your currency at checkout.

Analytics

On the free plans the gap is small. Avely Free shows visits from the last 24 hours. Kasbu Free shows the totals for any range plus the full breakdown for today: visits by hour, devices, browsers and countries.

On Kasbu Pro you get the same breakdown for 7, 30 and 90 days and for all time, and the live activity log shows each visitor's city. Avely Pro lists "advanced audience analytics" and UTM campaign tracking. Kasbu does not offer UTM tracking today.

Wallet cards

When this post was first published in August 2026, Avely had no wallet pass. It has added one since: its Business Card page went live in mid-October 2026 (we dated each step here). Avely's Business Card works with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, and it adds something Kasbu does not have: whoever scans it can leave their own contact details, which land in your contacts list.

Kasbu's pass also goes into Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, carries your photo, name and a QR code to your page, and is included on the free plan. You add it from Settings with "Add to Wallet". It shares your page. It does not collect the other person's details.

Speed

We timed both pages 30 times each on 14 August 2026, kasbu.bio/kasbu against avely.me/work_louder. Kasbu's server started answering in 163 ms at the median against 610 ms for Avely, and Kasbu won all 30 rounds. On a cold first visit in a real browser, Kasbu's content was ready in 1.10 s against 2.09 s, and the page downloaded 551 KB against 2.65 MB.

One result goes the other way. On repeat visits, with files already cached, the Avely page loaded between 471 and 672 ms and the Kasbu page between 831 and 1,175 ms, because our test page had several embeds that are fetched again each time. Most bio-link visits are first visits, which is why the cold numbers matter more. The full method is in our speed test.

Where Avely is the better pick

• You collect leads. Forms (with an AI form builder on Pro) and the contact exchange on the Business Card are built in. On Kasbu you would embed a Typeform card instead.
• You want UTM tracking on your campaign links.
• You only want custom themes and can live with the branding. Creator at €3.99 a month is cheaper than Kasbu Pro.

Where Kasbu is the better pick

• You want to remove the badge for less. $4.99 a month on Kasbu against €11.99 on Avely.
• You want design options on a free plan. Every color, photo background, effect, font and material is free on Kasbu.
• You need specific card types. Kasbu has 36, including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and Deezer players, GitHub contributions, Figma and Canva embeds, WiFi and QR cards, files and products.
• First-visit speed matters to you. The numbers are above.
• You want more than one page. Free gives 3 pages per profile and 2 profiles.

Moving from Avely to Kasbu

For now you rebuild your page by hand. Create a free Kasbu account, open your Avely page in another tab and paste each link into the card menu: Kasbu recognizes YouTube, Spotify, Calendly, WhatsApp and more, and suggests the matching card. Upload your photos to image cards, then arrange the grid on desktop and on mobile. The free plan holds 25 cards per profile.

If you are still deciding, our Bento migration guide covers the layout side, and you can create a Kasbu page for free.
