Comparison
NVR.to and Linkfire, row by row
Facts, not a verdict. The NVR.to column is generated from the product's code; the Linkfire column is quoted from Linkfire's own pages with the date they were read.
Links on the free tier, and $12 a month after it
Linkfire's cheapest plan is $27 a month for one artist. NVR.to links are on the SNVRKOTICS free tier; Starter is $12 and Pro, with your own domain, is $29.
No pixels, so no consent banner
A link page runs no third-party script and stores no IP address and no cookie. The listener sees the stores, not a banner. Linkfire lists retargeting pixels and conversion tracking on every plan.
Your domain, not a subdomain of theirs
Linkfire's plans include lnk.to and subdomains of it. On Pro and above, NVR.to serves every link from a domain you own, with a certificate issued for it.
Your data, on every plan
Every click on every link exports as CSV on every plan, including free. Linkfire's raw data export is on Premium and Enterprise.
The rest of the business in the same account
The link lives beside the catalog, the split sheets, every distributor's statements and the payout runs. A release link is one screen of the account that runs the release.
Where Linkfire has more
- Email capture on landing pages.
- Retargeting pixels and advertising conversion tracking, if you want them.
- API access and white-label options on Enterprise.
- A dedicated account manager on Premium and Enterprise.

Questions
- How much cheaper is NVR.to than Linkfire?
- Linkfire's Pro plan is $27 a month for one artist workspace, before VAT. NVR.to links are included on the SNVRKOTICS free tier, and the first paid plan, Starter, is $12 a month. Custom domains are on Pro at $29. The figures are quoted from each pricing page and dated below.
- Can I move my Linkfire links to NVR.to?
- Yes, one release at a time. Paste each store URL into the editor and the scanner recognises the service and fills the label and artwork; territories, conditions and the fallback are set the same way. Your old links stay wherever they are until you retire them.
- Does NVR.to do pre-save?
- No. Saving a release to a listener's library requires the listener to authorise an app with the store, and NVR.to has no store OAuth apps. A pre-release link carries the date, artwork and stores, and becomes the release link on the day.
- What does an NVR.to click record?
- The service chosen, the listener's country, their device class and the referring site. No IP address is stored and no cookie is set; the visitor hash rotates daily so it cannot become an identifier, which is also why unique visitors are not reported.
- Can NVR.to links live on my own domain?
- Yes, on Pro and above. You verify the domain with a DNS record, a certificate is issued for it, and every link in the workspace is served from it. nvr.to links are on every plan, including the free tier.
