Beacons Pricing

Is Beacons Worth It?

Beacons' value proposition is unique: it gives away more for free than most competitors charge for. The free plan is genuinely usable, not a demo or a teaser. You get a real storefront, real email marketing, a real media kit, and real analytics. The question is not whether Beacons is worth trying (it is), but whether the paid plans justify upgrading over switching to a specialized tool.

Price-to-Value Analysis

The free plan works until you start selling at volume. At that point, the 9% transaction fee becomes expensive. Creator Pro at $30/month reduces it to 5%, and Store Pro at $50/month eliminates it entirely. If you sell $1,000/month in products, the math is clear: free plan costs you $90 in fees, Creator Pro costs $30 + $50 = $80, and Store Pro costs $50 + $0 = $50. Store Pro pays for itself above $556/month in sales.

The All-in-One Advantage

Beacons' real value is consolidation for early-stage creators. Instead of paying for Linktree ($9/mo) plus a basic email tool ($13/mo) plus an invoice tool ($10/mo) plus a media kit service, Beacons rolls all of this into one free product. As your needs grow, you can upgrade Beacons or graduate to specialized tools, and the free starting point eliminates financial barriers to building your creator business.

Beacons vs Stan Store

If your primary goal is selling digital products, Stan Store has the stronger checkout experience, better course hosting, and more polished commerce features. If your primary goal is building a complete creator toolkit at zero cost (with email, media kits, and brand deal tools alongside commerce), Beacons covers more ground. The two platforms serve different stages and priorities.
