own.page and Kasbu are both going after the same creator — someone who wanted Bento.me's visual grid layout and needs somewhere to go now that Bento is gone.
Both are grid-based. Both are free to start. Both have mobile apps. Both position against Linktree.
The differences are real and worth understanding before you build your page on either.
We went deep on both platforms to give you an honest comparison.
The Bottom Line (For Those Who Don't Want to Read Everything)
Kasbu has more card types, a more powerful grid system, multiple grid tabs (Pro), 14 font options (Pro), and is priced at $4.99/month for Pro.
own.page offers multi-page sites (it advertises up to 5 on Pro), a slightly cleaner minimal aesthetic, and is priced at $8/month for Pro.
Free plan winner: Kasbu — 25 cards and 150 MB of storage free (vs own.page's 3 advanced widgets and 10 MB of video), no branding, analytics included.
Best for visual creators who want the most expressive page: Kasbu.
Best for creators who need multi-page sites: own.page Pro.
Free Plan: Kasbu Wins Clearly
This is the most important comparison for most creators, because most creators never upgrade.
| Feature | Kasbu Free | own.page Free |
|---|---|---|
| Cards / widgets | 25 cards (median page uses ~4) | 3 advanced widgets |
| Card types | All 30+ types included | Limited on free |
| Images & videos | Up to 150 MB storage free | 5 images, 1 video (10 MB) |
| Analytics | ✓ Basic | ✓ Basic |
| Remove platform branding | ✓ | ✗ (own.page logo stays) |
| Custom domain | ✓ Pro | ✗ (subdomain only) |
| Apple / Google Wallet card | ✓ | ✗ |
| Pages | 1 grid + tabs (Pro) | 1 page only |
| Font selection | Default (14 on Pro) | Basic |
own.page's free plan is significantly more restricted:
- Only 3 advanced widgets (Spotify, YouTube, GitHub, etc.) — Kasbu gives you 25 cards free, and the median page uses about 4
- Only 5 images and 1 video capped at 10 MB — Kasbu includes 150 MB of storage free
- own.page logo appears on your page — Kasbu never adds branding
- No Apple or Google Wallet card — Kasbu includes wallet cards even on free
For most creators, Kasbu's free plan covers what they would need own.page's paid plan ($8/month) for.
Grid System: Both Good, Kasbu More Powerful
Both platforms use a drag-and-drop grid layout. The philosophy is the same: Bento-style cards, arranged freely.
own.page's grid:
- Widget-based layout with flexible tile arrangement
- Clean, minimal aesthetic
- Tile snapping feels intuitive
- Works well on mobile and desktop
Kasbu's grid:
- 8-column desktop grid / 4-column mobile grid
- Independent desktop and mobile layouts — rearrange each separately
- 3D tilt effect on drag (tactile feedback)
- Individual size control for each card (wider, taller, smaller independently)
- 5 card materials, including Frost liquid glass
- Card-level color overrides independent of page theme
The practical difference: Kasbu gives you more granular control over how big each card is and where it sits. own.page is slightly more constrained but easier to get right quickly.
If you want to spend 20 minutes and have a solid page: own.page is easy. If you want to spend an hour and have something visually distinctive: Kasbu gives you more to work with.

*own.page card availability as of our last check (early 2026).
Kasbu has a significantly larger card library — especially in the embed, scheduling, and creative animation categories. As of our last check, own.page's card menu included Newsletter, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube Profile, YouTube Video, GitHub, Spotify, SoundCloud, and Google Calendar, but its TikTok card showed a static preview rather than playing videos inline.
Multi-Page Support: own.page Wins Here
This is own.page's clearest advantage.
own.page Pro: Advertises up to 5 separate pages — each is a full grid you can link between. Build a full mini-website with a home page, portfolio page, about page, and contact page.
Kasbu: Multiple grid tabs on Pro (unlimited), each with its own URL and layout. This is different from own.page's pages — tabs are more like sections of the same identity, not a full multi-page website.
If you want to build something that functions like a real website with distinct sections: own.page Pro is better structured for this.
If you want to share different versions of your presence with different audiences: Kasbu's tabs work well.
Design & Customization: Kasbu Has More Options
| Option | Kasbu | own.page |
|---|---|---|
| Background themes | 30+ | Several |
| Font families (paid) | 14 | Basic |
| Card-level color | ✓ | Limited |
| Card materials | 5 (including Frost liquid glass) | Standard |
| Dark / light mode | ✓ | ✓ |
| Banner customization | ✓ (image, photo, none) | ✓ |
| GIF support | ✓ | ✓ |
Kasbu gives more customization levers — 14 fonts, card-level colors, 5 card materials, and 30+ themes. own.page is cleaner and more constrained by design.
Neither is objectively better here — it depends on whether you want expressive control (Kasbu) or opinionated simplicity (own.page).
Analytics: Comparable
Both platforms offer analytics with similar depth:
Kasbu: Total visits on free; Pro adds daily breakdown, device split (mobile/desktop/tablet), and country data.
own.page: Page views, engagement tracking, traffic sources, interactive charts.
Both have basic analytics on free and more detailed views on paid. Neither is dramatically better than the other here.
Pricing Comparison
| Plan | Kasbu | own.page |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 / 25 cards, 150 MB storage | $0 / 3 widgets, 5 images, branding |
| Paid | $4.99/month | $8/month |
| Paid includes | Unlimited cards and tabs, 14 fonts, 30 GB storage, custom domain, premium backgrounds and materials, advanced analytics | 5 pages (advertised), unlimited widgets, unlimited images, remove branding, priority support |
Kasbu Pro is almost 40% cheaper than own.page Pro. And because Kasbu's free plan already removes branding and includes every card type, the value equation for the free tier is significantly better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kasbu or own.page better for musicians?

Does own.page have more users than Kasbu?

Can I migrate from own.page to Kasbu?
Yes. Add your links and media cards to Kasbu, recreate your layout, and update your bio links. Most pages take under 20 minutes to rebuild.
Does Kasbu support multi-page sites like own.page?
Kasbu Pro has unlimited grid tabs, each with a unique URL — this gives you a tabbed multi-presence. own.page Pro advertises up to 5 fully separate pages. If you specifically need separate pages (not tabs), own.page's structure is better suited.
Which platform is more likely to survive long-term?
Both are independent (not owned by Linktree). Kasbu ships fast — Apple and Google Wallet cards are already live, included even on the free plan. own.page is bootstrapped by a small independent team (two founders, as of our last check). Neither has the acquisition risk that Bento.me had.
