Bento.me alternative

Bento.me shut down. Here is where to rebuild your grid.

Bento’s 18 December 2025 post said the platform would shut down on 13 February 2026, and on 17 October 2026 bento.me returned a 301 redirect to https://linktr.ee. SayHi has a free Bento template, so you can rebuild the same card grid at sayhi.page/yourname.

Bento.me on 17 October 2026

Checked 17 October 2026. Requests to bento.me, bento.me/ada, and bento.me/home/bento-sunset each returned HTTP 301 with Location https://linktr.ee. Following bento.me ended at https://linktr.ee/ with HTTP 200. The sunset post is no longer served on bento.me.

Linktree’s 6 June 2023 note says Linktree was acquiring Bento, and that the Bento crew would join on 19 June. It names cofounders Sélim and Mugeeb. Bento’s post of 18 December 2025, by Mugeeb Hassan, Co-founder and CTO, says it had been a bit over two years since Linktree acquired Bento, and that the platform would shut down on 13 February 2026. The post says users would receive an email about moving to Linktree, including a special Linktree Pro offer, and that Linktree was adding features inspired by Bento’s visual layouts, content blocks, and media embeds. It says that after the shutdown, Bento user and profile data would be deleted, pages would redirect to Linktree, and people should export anything they wanted to keep before then.

All three URLs checked that day landed on Linktree’s homepage, not on a matching Linktree profile. We have not checked whether the Linktree Pro offer is still open.

Move your Bento page to SayHi

  1. Find your old content. Bento’s 18 December 2025 post asked users to export before 13 February 2026, because profile data would be deleted after the shutdown. If you kept that export or screenshots, use them for your text and pictures. SayHi cannot open the export file itself.
  2. Open the Bento template. Start from the Bento template, or open the same layout in the playground. The example page is Nia Voss. Every other layout is on the templates page.
  3. Rebuild your cards by hand. The page importer does not fetch bento.me, since those addresses now redirect. Add text, project cards (title, year, summary, image, link), images, and links, and set each card small, medium, large, or full width. Nia’s page already has a social links row and an email button you can edit.
  4. Claim sayhi.page/yourname. Sign up with the Bento template selected. Publishing is free today. Custom domains are not offered yet.
  5. Replace your bio link. Put your new address wherever the bento.me link used to be. If a plain list of links is all you need, the link-in-bio page shows the simpler setup.

When something else fits better

A plain list of links is enough

Bento.me links already redirect to Linktree, and its post pointed users there. If you only need a list, that is a reasonable place to land.

You need your own domain now

SayHi does not offer custom domains yet. If that is a requirement, pick a host that does.

You sell or take bookings on the page

SayHi has no shop, checkout, or calendar. Choose a tool built for that job.

Who might prefer SayHi

You liked the grid

Nia Voss’s example page uses the Bento template. Open it in the playground and replace her projects with yours.

You want to change layouts later

Some work suits uneven cards and some suits a column of text. Switching templates in SayHi keeps your blocks in place.

You need a new home for your bio link

Old bento.me links now land on Linktree’s homepage, so anyone tapping yours sees nothing of you. A sayhi.page address fixes that.

Questions

Can I import my bento.me page?

No. Bento shut down on 13 February 2026 and bento.me now redirects, so there is no public page left to read. Start from the Bento template at /playground?template=bento and copy your text and links across.

Which SayHi template is the grid?

Bento. Nia Voss’s example page shows it with projects, an image, and a row of social links. If your pictures should be bigger, try Portfolio.

Where do I learn to lay out a bento page?

The bento website builder page covers which cards to use, how many, and what size, with the same template.
