The big differences explained
hoo.be has no multilingual support at any tier
hoo.be shows every visitor the same page in the same language. There is no way to configure different titles, bios, or links for different language audiences. If your followers span Arabic, English, and Spanish, they all see the same content.
WP LinkCanvas supports 35 languages with completely separate titles, bios, and links per language. WPML and Polylang are auto-detected. RTL is fully supported. One bio page that speaks every language your audience does.
No country-level link visibility on hoo.be
hoo.be cannot show or hide links based on the visitor's country. Every follower from every country sees the same links regardless of their location. If you have region-specific offers, hoo.be has no mechanism to surface the right one to the right audience.
WP LinkCanvas detects country at the CDN edge using Cloudflare or Bunny.net headers and shows or hides individual links per country. Zero JavaScript overhead, fully compatible with page caching.
hoo.be has no WooCommerce integration
hoo.be does not integrate with WooCommerce or any e-commerce platform. If you sell products or digital downloads through WordPress, there is no way to surface those on a hoo.be page or give visitors a shoppable product rail directly on your bio.
WP LinkCanvas pulls products from your WooCommerce store directly into your bio page as a scrollable product card rail. Fully optional. If WooCommerce is not active, the showcase simply does not appear.
hoo.be is a monthly subscription for a page you do not own
hoo.be's Pro plan costs around $5 per month ($60 per year) and your page lives on their servers. If hoo.be changes pricing or discontinues, your bio page goes with it. There is no export that preserves your full setup elsewhere.
WP LinkCanvas is $24.95 once. It installs on your WordPress site. Your data stays on your server. The plugin keeps working after year 1 of support ends, permanently, with no dependency on our infrastructure.
Cost comparison
All plans include lifetime updates, 1 year of support, and every feature. No transaction fees.
hoo.be Pro costs approximately $60 per year. No lifetime option. No multilingual, geo, or commerce features at any tier.
