Honest comparison
Flocci Bento vs Bento.me — and what to do now that Bento.me is gone
Bento.me shut down on February 13, 2026 following its acquisition by Linktree; its profile pages now redirect to Linktree. Flocci Bento is not a hosted username-page service — it is a deeper bento grid design studio: a 12-column drag-and-drop editor with charts, device mockups, templates and PNG/JPEG/PDF export, free to start. If you loved designing your Bento.me grid, this is the editor half, upgraded.

Comparison compiled July 2026 from public information; Bento.me features and pricing may change.
The honest verdict
Choose Flocci Bento to design richer bento boards you export or share by link. If you specifically need a hosted username URL with click analytics, use a hosted bio service — Bento.me itself is no longer an option.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bento.me really shut down?
Yes — Bento.me announced closure after its acquisition by Linktree and went offline on February 13, 2026. Existing bento.me pages redirect to Linktree.
Can Flocci Bento host my bento.me-style public page?
No — Flocci Bento does not host public username URLs. You design a richer board, then share it via a tokenized link or export it as PNG/JPEG/PDF for your bios and posts.
How do I migrate my Bento.me content?
Recreate your grid in Flocci Bento's editor: a profile hero tile, tiles for each link or project, and image tiles for visuals — most profiles rebuild in under 30 minutes, with far more design control than the original.
Is Flocci Bento free like Bento.me was?
Designing and saving are free with no card; every new workspace includes founder usage credits, and only produced output (exports, AI) spends credits from the shared Flocci wallet.
