Blinx and Milkshake, row by row

Every answer is in words, and the same answer looks the same on both sides. Blinx's plan limits sit in its own cells; Milkshake's column describes its Pro plan, and its $0 plan where it differs.

**Checked on 10 November 2026. Blinx's prices are before VAT. Each Milkshake price carries the tax basis its own page gives, or says it gives none, so the two may not be on the same basis.** How we chose these rows: 9 are the same on every comparison (price, the $0 plan, trial and card, one page or several, own domain, and what happens if you stop paying). The other 6 are rows for link-in-bio pages: features Milkshake's own pages list, and features Blinx has, each answered for both: "No, checked" where a product has nothing like it, "Not published" where Milkshake's pages do not mention it.

Milkshake and Blinx: the usual questions

Is Milkshake good for a business?

It suits creators who sell to followers from a phone app, with a $0 plan that stays live. A business whose customers call, visit or ask to book may want a page built around those buttons, with opening hours shown open or closed, which is what a Blinx page is.

Does Milkshake take a share of sales?

Its pricing page showed it takes 7% to 12% of sales, as seen on 10 November 2026. Blinx takes no payments at all, so it takes no share of anything you sell.

Can I link my Blinx page from Milkshake?

Yes. Your Blinx page has its own address, blinx.biz/your-business, which your Milkshake site can link to, so followers who want to ring you, book you or find you land on it.

Does Blinx have an app, like Milkshake?

Blinx is a web app you add to your phone's home screen, with an alert when someone gets in touch; it is not in the app stores. Milkshake is made in a phone app from the app stores.

Blinx in brief

$5 a month or $46.80 a year in US dollars, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card. A page you do not pay for after the trial stays live on the basic plan, with fewer features. Stop paying at any time and nothing is deleted.
