AI-powered link-in-bio and creator business platform.
Beacons ranks #1 of 8 in Link-in-bio tools, with an Alt Score of 93. It is proprietary, freemium from $10/month and available on Web, iOS and Android. 13 of 13 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Beacons is an all-in-one creator platform with a link-in-bio page, storefront, email marketing, media kit, and AI tools.
Creators, influencers, coaches, and artists who want a single platform to replace a plain link-in-bio page — combining a customizable bio page, storefront, email marketing, and media kit for monetizing and growing their audience. Also offers dedicated tools for talent managers and brands running creator campaigns.
A free-forever plan with a customizable link-in-bio page, unlimited digital product sales, real-time analytics, email/phone capture, an auto-updating media kit, and Instagram DM automation. Paid Creator, Creator Plus, and Creator Max plans (from $10/month) add a free custom domain, 0% seller fees, unlimited email sends, removal of Beacons branding, advanced SEO controls, and more AI generation credits.
Creators sign up free and build their page from drag-and-drop content blocks (links, store products, email signup, music/video/social feed embeds, media kit sections), then use Beacons' built-in Store, Email Marketing, and Media Kit tools from one dashboard to sell digital products or services, capture and email their audience, and pitch brand deals — with a companion iOS/Android app for managing the storefront, links, and messages on the go.
