After Bento.me shut down in February 2026, two grid-style tools keep showing up in the same sentence: Kasbu and Tini.bio. Both pitch themselves as the natural home for ex-Bento users. Both are small, independent products.
This is an honest comparison — including the places where Tini is genuinely good.
The short version
- Tini.bio is a grid link-in-bio that's expanding into content: pages, a blog, and a newsletter under your profile.
- Kasbu is a grid link-in-bio focused on depth of the page itself: 30+ card types, real analytics, QR sharing, and Apple/Google Wallet passes.
The biggest practical difference is the free plan.
Free plan, side by side
| Kasbu Free | Tini.bio Free | |
|---|---|---|
| Cards / blocks | 25 cards | 6 blocks |
| Image blocks | Included in your 25 | 2 |
| Themes | Full customization | 1 theme |
| Watermark | None | Tini branding |
| QR code | Yes | No |
| Wallet pass | Yes (Apple + Google) | No |
A typical Bento page had 8–15 blocks. On Tini's free plan you can rebuild less than half of it; on Kasbu the whole page fits with room to spare.
Paid plans
- Tini Pro is $9/month: more blocks, more pages, and blog and newsletter tools (their free plan caps the newsletter at 20 subscribers; Pro removes it).
- Kasbu Pro unlocks custom domains, advanced analytics (daily visits, devices, countries) and premium backgrounds and materials.
If what you want is to publish content — posts, a small newsletter — Tini's model is genuinely interesting and Kasbu doesn't try to compete there. If what you want is a richer page — music players, maps, GitHub, videos, products, QR — that's Kasbu's territory.
Where Tini wins
Honesty first:
- Built-in blog and newsletter. If your link-in-bio doubles as your publishing home, Tini bundles that.
- Simple scope. Fewer options can mean a faster first page.
Where Kasbu wins
- 4× the free tier (25 cards vs 6 blocks), no watermark.
- 30+ card types: Spotify and Apple Music players, YouTube, maps, GitHub graphs, QR, files, products, HTML embeds.
- Real-world sharing: QR-ready profile and Apple/Google Wallet passes — your page on your lock screen. No other grid tool has this.
- 9 languages, including full Spanish support.
- Custom domains on Pro, so your page can live at yourname.com.
The migration question
Neither tool can recover your deleted Bento data — nobody can, Bento's servers are gone. Both require rebuilding. The difference is what you rebuild into: on Kasbu's free plan your full page fits; on Tini's you'll hit the 6-block wall before you finish your old layout.

Bottom line
Both are legitimate Bento successors run by small teams — a nice change from watching Linktree acquire and shut down the tools you love. Pick Tini if the blog/newsletter bundle is your priority. Pick Kasbu if you want your actual page to be richer, free, and shareable in the real world.
