Bento.me shut down on 13 February 2026, and two small grid tools keep coming up when people look for a replacement: Kasbu and Tini.bio. Both let you drag blocks onto a grid, both are run by small independent teams and both have a free plan. The free plans are where they split.
We read Tini.bio's public pricing on 14 October 2026 and put it next to Kasbu's limits on the same day. Every Tini number below comes from tini.bio. Every Kasbu number comes from our own plan limits. Links to both are at the end.
The short version
- Tini.bio Free: 6 blocks in total, of which at most 2 can be images and 1 can be a page. One theme. A tini.bio badge on your page. Social links are unlimited and don't count as blocks. Pro costs $9 a month.
- Kasbu Free: 25 cards per profile, 3 pages per profile and 2 profiles per account. All 36 card types, every color, background, background photo and the 14 fonts. A QR code and an Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass. A small "Follow on Kasbu" button stays on your page. Pro costs $4.99 a month or $54.99 a year.
If your page is a few links, your socials and a short About page, Tini's free plan covers it. If your page needs a music player, a map, a photo gallery or more than six things, Kasbu's free plan does.
Free plan, row by row
| Kasbu Free | Tini.bio Free | |
|---|---|---|
| Content | 25 cards per profile | 6 blocks in total |
| Images | Any card can be a photo or video, 150 MB of storage | 2 image blocks |
| Extra pages | 3 grid pages per profile | 1 page block |
| Separate profiles | 2, each with its own username | Not listed |
| Design | Every color, background, background photo, the 14 fonts and the 6 card materials | 1 theme. Custom bio colors are Pro |
| Analytics | Visit totals for any date range, full detail for today | Listed on Pro only |
| QR code | Yes | Not listed |
| Wallet pass | Apple Wallet and Google Wallet | Not listed |
| Platform branding | Small "Follow on Kasbu" button. Pro removes it | tini.bio badge. Pro removes it |
| Pro trial | 14 days at checkout, once per customer | 7 days on signup, no card needed |
"Not listed" means the feature doesn't appear on Tini.bio's pricing or homepage. It may exist somewhere inside the editor, so check before you rely on it.
Does 6 blocks fit your page?
It depends on what you put on it. Social links are free on Tini, so a creator page with Instagram, TikTok and YouTube icons plus three links fits exactly. The limit shows up the moment you add pictures: a photographer who wants four photos, a portfolio link and a booking link needs 6 blocks, and only 2 of those can be images on the free plan.
On Kasbu the same page uses 6 of the 25 cards, and every one of them can be a photo. For context, the median Kasbu page has 4 cards (our own data, July 2026). Most people never reach 25. The free limit only matters to the people building a full portfolio, and that's who should look hardest at this comparison.
Paid plans
Tini.bio Pro, $9 a month. Unlimited blocks, pages and images, custom bio colors, custom link icons, analytics with traffic sources, SEO settings, Google Analytics and no badge. A Creator+ plan for teams is listed at $29 a month with a waitlist.
Kasbu Pro, $4.99 a month or $54.99 a year (billed in USD). Unlimited cards and pages, up to 10 profiles, 30 GB of storage, your own domain, embedding your grid on another website, full analytics (7, 30 and 90 days, all time, devices, countries and cities), sound on video cards, dark and auto map styles, and no "Follow on Kasbu" button.
One thing changed on 13 October 2026: colors, backgrounds, effects, background photos and fonts stopped being Pro features on Kasbu. They are free for everyone now, so Pro is about capacity, analytics and your own domain, not about how the page looks.
Where Tini.bio is the better pick
- Fewer decisions. Tini has five kinds of block: links, social links, images, pages and text. If you want a page in ten minutes and nothing more, that's a feature.
- Long-form pages. Tini's page block holds a menu, a case study or a longer About text. Kasbu pages are grids of cards. You can write in a text card or embed a Google Doc, but it isn't a blog post.
- A trial without a card. Every Tini signup gets 7 days of Pro with no card. Kasbu's 14-day trial starts at checkout.
- Unlimited social links outside the block count.
Where Kasbu is the better pick
- Room. 25 cards per profile against 6 blocks, and any card can be an image.
- Card types. Kasbu has 36, all free. Players for Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and SoundCloud. Video from YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok and Loom. A map, GitHub, Calendly, Google Calendar, Typeform, Google Docs, Figma, Canva, Behance, Flickr and Giphy. File downloads, products with a price, a WiFi card, an experience card for your CV, an animated number and an HTML/code card. Paste a link and Kasbu suggests the matching card.
- Design without paying. Fonts, colors and backgrounds are free, and desktop and mobile have their own layouts (8 columns on desktop, 4 on mobile), so you can arrange each one on its own.
- Offline sharing. Your profile comes with a QR code and a pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, so it lives on your phone's lock screen for events and meetings.
- 9 interface languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese and Finnish.
- A cheaper Pro, if you ever need it: $4.99 against $9 a month.
Moving from Bento to either one
Neither tool can bring back a deleted Bento page. Bento said user and profile data would be deleted at shutdown, and since then every bento.me link redirects to Linktree's homepage. Both options mean rebuilding.
To rebuild on Kasbu:
- Create a free account and pick your username.
- Open the card menu and paste each old link. Kasbu detects Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, X posts and the rest and suggests the right card.
- Drag the cards into place and resize them. Do the desktop layout first, then switch to mobile and adjust.
- Pick a background and a font in Design. All of it is free.
- Replace the bento.me link in your Instagram, TikTok and X bios.
Our migration guide for ex-Bento users explains where to find your old links.
