Why Grove Is the 10x Better Linktree
Your home mirrors you. You invite people over to share your space, your interests, your life.
Your personal landing page should be no different.
Linktree is like a parking lot. People come, only to leave as soon as they get what they need.
Grove is your personal landing page. People come, they stay, they support you, and they come back when they want to reach you again.
It should do more than just hold a list of links:
- ✅ Prove you’re a real person
- 💸 Turn your attention into revenue
- 🎁 Let people support you instantly
- 💬 Let people talk to you
- 🧠 Show what you care about
- 🏠 Feel like a homepage, not a parking lot
That’s what Grove is for 🌿
What it looks like
It’s a shift from a flat list of links to a home for your content, support, and money.
Why the old model is not enough
Linktree solved a real problem:
“I need one place to put my links.”
That worked when the internet was mostly about sending people somewhere else.
Now the page itself matters.
People are not just clicking through.
They’re deciding whether to trust you, follow you, pay you, or talk to you.
They’re deciding whether your attention is worth their time and money, and vice versa.
What Grove does differently
Grove does two things a plain link page can’t.
1. It puts money front and center 🪪
Grove is wallet-first.
Money isn’t hidden behind a redirect.
It’s part of the profile.
That unlocks a few things immediately:
- 💸 Tips - someone likes your work, they can pay you on the spot.
- ✉️ Messages - if someone wants your attention, they can pay to reach you.
- ⚡ Instant settlement - no waiting, no thresholds, no mystery balance somewhere else, no egregious fees.
2. It verifies who you are across multiple platforms ✅
Anyone can paste a URL.
That doesn’t prove ownership.
Grove lets you connect and verify accounts like X, GitHub, YouTube and more, so people know they’re looking at the real you.
In a world of impersonation and AI-generated everything, that’s not a feature. It’s the baseline.
Tip to Talk is the clearest example
We built Tip to Talk because attention has real monetary value.
If you want my attention, pay for it.
That sounds blunt. It’s also the point.
We all get hit with spam, cold DMs, “quick questions” that are never quick, and people asking for free time, free advice, or free introductions.
Tip to Talk makes the trade explicit:
- If you need someone’s attention, pay to reach them.
- If someone wants yours, they can pay to earn it.
That keeps the inbox open without making it free.
“Isn’t this just Patreon?”
Not really. Patreon solved recurring support.
Grove is built for direct, lightweight, just-in-time action.
That means:
- 😌 No subscription fatigue
- 🙏 No commitment just to say thanks
- ⚡ No extra friction for a $5 moment
Most people are happy to pay when they want to show appreciation. They just don’t want five more recurring subscriptions.
It’s awkward to not tip in person. It’s also awkward to cancel a recurring Patreon subscription.
Grove lets you send a message, show appreciation, instantly, and move on. That’s it.
