Shut down Feb 13, 2026 after the Linktree acquisition

Bento.me is dead. Your grid does not have to be.

Linktree acquired Bento and shut it down on February 13, 2026. Existing Bento pages were redirected and are being removed - so if you loved the visual bento-grid style, you need a new home for your page.

Key dates

  • 2023Linktree acquires Bento
  • Feb 13, 2026Bento.me officially stops operating
  • After Feb 2026Bento pages redirect, then get removed

Why it happened: Consolidation: Linktree absorbed the product and pointed Bento users at Linktree Pro with a migration discount. The visual grid format itself was never the problem - it is why so many clones now court ex-Bento users.

What to switch to

How to migrate

  1. Screenshot or export your Bento layout while any redirect still shows it.
  2. Rebuild on the closest visual match (Own.page or Tini.bio) or take the Linktree Pro discount.
  3. Update the bio link on every profile - Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, email signature.
  4. Set a redirect if you owned a custom domain; otherwise re-point the domain at the new page.
