Why Kadi
Most link in bio tools paywall themes, charge fees on your sales, and put their brand on your page. Kadi does not.
What most tools get wrong
The typical link in bio tool gives you a free tier and then locks every useful feature behind a paid plan. Themes? Paid. No watermark on your page? Paid. Meaningful analytics? Paid. The free tier exists to show you what you are missing, not to actually serve you.
If you collect tips or commissions, most tools either do not support UPI at all or route payments through their own gateway and take a cut. Your audience pays, and a portion goes to the platform instead of you.
Pages are typically rendered client-side, which means a blank screen for a moment before anything loads — particularly noticeable on Indian mobile networks.

Paid plan pricing
Kadi has three tiers: Free (₹0), Pro (₹1,500/yr), and Pro Max (₹3,000/yr). Pro and Pro Max are in development — join the waitlist at kadi.bio. Pro adds scheduled visibility, extended analytics, and more blocks. Pro Max adds priority support, early access to new features, and the highest limits.
When Kadi is the right choice
- You collect tips or commissions through UPI — the payment block is free and Kadi takes no platform fee.
- You want a clean, fast profile with no watermark on the free tier.
- Privacy matters to you or your audience — Kadi uses no tracking cookies on public pages, so there is no cookie consent banner.
- You want your profile to load fast on mobile Indian networks — server-side rendering means the page is ready without waiting for JavaScript.
When Kadi is not the right choice
- You want a product storefront or to sell directly through your link page — Kadi does not have commerce features.
- You need integrations with email marketing platforms or e-commerce tools — Kadi does not have an integration marketplace.
- Your audience is international and you primarily receive payments through Stripe or PayPal — Kadi is focused on UPI.
- You need team accounts or organisation-level management — Kadi is a single-user tool.
