Beacons

Beacons positions itself as the everything-app for social media creators, combining a link-in-bio page with an online store, media kit generator, invoicing tool, and email marketing, all on a generous free tier.

For creators who sell directly through Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, Beacons provides a surprisingly feature-rich hub that reduces the need for multiple subscriptions.

The link-in-bio builder is visually flexible, with blocks for embedded content, product showcases, tip jars, and email capture forms.

The media kit feature is particularly clever: it auto-generates a professional sponsorship pitch deck using your social media stats, which you can share with brands when negotiating deals.

The invoicing tool lets you send professional invoices for brand collaborations directly from the platform. The trade-off with Beacons is that it tries to do a lot, and not everything is polished to the same degree.

The email marketing module works but lacks the depth of dedicated tools. The online store is functional but less conversion-optimized than Stan Store. Analytics are improving but still feel like an afterthought.

Beacons is ideal for early-stage creators who want maximum functionality at minimum cost, but established creators may find themselves outgrowing individual features fairly quickly.
