About kum.to

kum.to is a mobile-first link-in-bio service. You claim a short page such as kum.to/yourname, add links, and pick from themes, layouts and color presets. Its main differentiator is deep linking: on a phone, links to supported apps are meant to open inside the app when it is installed, falling back to the web page. The site gives the example of a YouTube channel link opening the YouTube app when tapped from Instagram.

A second feature, Smart Single Links, creates a standalone short link for one destination that you can drop into an email, a direct message or a text. For YouTube videos, Shorts, playlists and channels it checks the device and tries the YouTube app before the web. Handles are 3 to 30 characters of letters, numbers and hyphens.

The Free plan costs £0 per month and includes the page, unlimited links, app links, themes and the last seven days of analytics. Pro is £5 per month with a 14-day free start; it removes kum.to branding, adds 30-day and all-time analytics with countries, traffic sources and devices, and allows custom colors. It is hosted and aimed at personal-brand creators.
