A clickable copy of your grid — inside a scheduler subscription. Obsydian is a page of its own, with protection underneath.
Linkin.bio is Later's link-in-bio feature: it mirrors your Instagram grid as a clickable page, so each post links out — a clever fit for shop-from-grid workflows. It comes bundled with Later's social-scheduling plans (a limited free plan exists; paid Later plans start around $17–25/month), which makes it strongest for people who already want Later as their scheduler.
We're biased — but honest.
Linkin.bio is a feature, not a product — you're really buying Later's scheduler. If you want that scheduler, the bundle logic works. As a page, a clickable grid says 'here's my Instagram again'; it doesn't express identity beyond the platform, and nothing in it protects the photos that grid is made of. Obsydian is the standalone page — expressive, niche-friendly — with watermarking, tracing and metadata scrubbing as the actual substance.
