Why streamers pick pulz.bio over Carrd
Carrd's design freedom is real, and so is the upkeep: a Carrd page shows what you typed last, a pulz.bio page shows what's happening now.
- No embed code to look after. Live status comes straight from Twitch. On Carrd, showing it means pasting third-party embed code on Pro Standard and keeping it working.
- Schedule and clips without edits. pulz re-reads your Twitch schedule when you go live and when you finish, and keeps your top clips current.
- Business pages built in. A media kit from your stream stats and a protected sponsor inquiry form, ready on day one.
- Analytics included. Page analytics are free on pulz.bio; Carrd puts them on Pro Standard.
Switching from Carrd

- Continue with Twitch at pulz.bio/auth.That creates the account and connects Twitch in one step, and your username comes from your Twitch login.
- Add the links from your Carrd page.There's no importer for Carrd, so this part is by hand: paste a URL and the title and icon fill in.
- 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.
