Bento.me shut down on February 13, 2026. Here is where to take your visual bio link next.
Bento.me announced its shutdown on February 13, 2026. Existing users can no longer log in or access their pages.
Only on LinkLynx
AI Smart Layout
LinkLynx automatically reorders cards by engagement so your top performers always get prime real estate. Bento never had this — you arranged everything by hand.
AI-generated motion video per card
Bento let you embed videos. LinkLynx generates a cinematic motion video preview for every link automatically. No editing, no template tuning.
Active and growing — not going anywhere
Bento.me went offline in February 2026. LinkLynx is actively developed, with regular feature updates and a public roadmap.
Where Bento wins
- •Bento popularized the rich, customizable block grid layout — its DNA influenced an entire generation of bio-link tools.
- •Highly flexible block sizing (large, small, horizontal, vertical) gave power users control over layout.
Where LinkLynx wins
- •AI Smart Layout reorders cards by engagement automatically — Bento required entirely manual arrangement.
- •AI-generated motion video previews per card on Premium and Studio — Bento never offered this.
- •Apple Music audio previews and Spotify audio previews play in place.
- •Cinematic horizontal scroll rows with parallax effects on every plan, including free.
- •Active product development, regular feature releases, and a public roadmap.
- •Scheduled links with countdown teasers for drops, launches, and reveals.
Which one should you pick?
Pick Bento if
Bento.me is no longer accessible — there is no Bento to choose. If you were a Bento user, your data export is no longer available either.
Pick LinkLynx if
You want the same spirit Bento had — a rich, beautiful, visual-first bio link — on a platform that's actively built and adds AI-generated motion video to every card.
