Where Carrd is better
Carrd at $19 a year is exceptional value, and its design freedom is real: custom domains, forms, embeds and analytics all come with Pro Standard. The honest trade is upkeep. A Carrd page shows what you typed last; a pulz.bio page shows what's happening now. If you like building and want your own domain, Carrd wins. If you'd rather stream than maintain a site, pulz.bio does.

- Swap the link in every bio in one pass.Twitch About and panels, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and Discord, so nothing points at the old page.
- Leave Carrd up for a few weeks.Links in old posts and printed QR codes keep working while your followers catch up.
