Beacons review

Beacons combines a link-in-bio page with tools for selling products, collecting email subscribers and pitching brands. The homepage says more than 10 million creators use the platform. Its core offer is a customizable page where followers can find links, products and other creator content; it also supports selling merch, digital products and courses.

For brand work, Beacons offers media kits that update engagement data automatically. Its email tools cover newsletters and automated DMs, while its AI teammate, Beam, is positioned to help with content strategy, growth analysis, brand outreach and rate negotiation. Course hosting includes video hosting, according to the pricing page.

Pricing starts at free, but that plan charges 9% on seller and affiliate transactions. Creator is $10 per month, or $8.33 per month with annual billing. Creator Plus costs $30 monthly, or $25 per month billed annually, and removes those transaction fees. The annual prices are monthly equivalents, with two months free versus paying month to month.

Beacons makes sense for creators who want a storefront and audience tools alongside their bio page, rather than stitching together separate services. The same platform covers product sales, courses, media kits and email, with Beam adding help for creator-business tasks. That breadth is the main appeal; it is not just a list of links.

The free plan is enough to establish a basic presence: it includes one website with one page, 30 daily AI credits, 50 email sends per month and a daily-updating media kit. Creator adds a free custom domain, five websites with three pages each and 500 monthly email sends. Both plans have a 9% seller and affiliate transaction fee.

Creators who sell regularly may find Creator Plus easier to price around. It includes unlimited daily AI credits, unlimited courses with video hosting and memberships, unlimited email sends and automations, and 0% seller and affiliate fees. That makes the upgrade relevant when fees on sales matter more than the $25 monthly annual-billing price. One Reddit thread describes using Beacons to sell digital products, but that is an individual account, not proof of typical results.

The Free plan is capped at 50 email sends per month, one website and one page, and 30 daily AI credits. Creator raises email volume to 500 sends monthly and allows five websites with three pages each, but still charges 9% on seller and affiliate transactions. The $8.33 Creator price is an annual-billing equivalent; paying month to month costs $10. For sales-focused creators, compare the fee against Creator Plus at $25 per month billed annually or $30 month to month.

The upper plan is not unlimited across the board. Creator Max costs $100 monthly or $83.30 per month billed annually, and lists 15 websites with 10 pages each. Its other listed extras include Google Workspace, white-glove onboarding, prioritized support under six hours, an NFC card and VIP event access. The published plan details do not list unlimited email or courses for Max.

Email reliability deserves a check before importing a list. One Reddit user reported an account review and suspension after uploading a CSV, with slow email support and no appeal process. That is one report, not a measure of how often it happens, but creators with an established list should confirm the import rules and support route before moving subscribers.

Beacons has a free plan, but “free” does not mean fee-free for sales. The pricing details list 9% seller and affiliate transaction fees on Free and Creator, despite the product summary describing no platform fees on Free. Check the fee terms before selling.

Creator costs $10 per month, or $8.33 per month with annual billing. It adds a custom domain, more sites and pages, and 500 monthly email sends; the 9% fees remain. Creator Plus jumps to $30 monthly, or $25 annually, and removes seller and affiliate fees. It also includes unlimited email sends and automations, courses, video hosting, and memberships. Creator Max costs $100 monthly, or $83.30 annually, and adds items including Google Workspace and prioritized support.

Annual prices are monthly equivalents, with two months free compared with paying month to month. The jump from Creator to Plus is substantial, but sellers should compare that price increase with the 9% fees they would otherwise pay. The pricing page does not list a separate add-on price.

Moving to Beacons means deciding which parts of your creator setup to consolidate: its link page, selling tools, media kit, email marketing, and course hosting are listed as product features. The published material does not document migration tools, supported import formats, or data-export options, so we can’t promise a one-click move in or out. Before switching, confirm how to transfer subscriber lists, products, course content, and media-kit details—and whether you can export them if you leave.

The published published material contains no Reddit posts or comments, so we can’t credibly report why users leave Beacons or present community complaints as established patterns. Treat data portability and any sales-fee implications as questions to resolve before moving an audience or storefront. If you already sell through Beacons, account for the listed 9% fees on Free and Creator; Plus and Max list 0% seller and affiliate fees. Keep your current destination live until you have confirmed what transfers and tested the replacement links.
