Verdict

Beacons suits creators looking for more than a link page: its offering spans a customizable web presence, selling, subscriber marketing, audience management and media kits, with tools for managers and brands as well. The Free plan provides a starting point, but its 9% seller fees and visible branding are important trade-offs. Paid plans list more email capacity and website pages, while the top listed plan has no stated price; compare those costs and included limits against the tools you need before choosing.
