What Carrd is great at
Carrd builds one-page websites, and it does it well. You get control over layout, sections, forms and embeds, so it is as much a tiny site builder as a link in bio. Many people use it for landing pages, portfolios and simple sign-up pages.
That flexibility is the trade. You start from a template and arrange things yourself. If you enjoy that, Carrd gives you a lot of room.

Where Posy is different
Nothing to lay out
Paste a link and it becomes the right tile in the right size. You rearrange only if you want to.
Looks that are finished
A Carrd template is a starting point. A Posy look is a finished scene, with palettes and fonts you can swap.
Made for links
GitHub tiles show live stars, Spotify becomes a music card with cover art, YouTube loads only when played. You do not wire anything up.

Questions
Is Posy a replacement for Carrd?
Only for link-in-bio pages. If you use Carrd for landing pages, forms or a full one-page site, Posy is not a replacement for that.
Can I get a custom domain on Posy?
Yes, on Pro, which is $5 a month or $48 a year.
Which is easier to start with?
Posy is quicker if all you want is a link page: paste your links and publish. Carrd takes longer because you build the layout, in return for more control.
