About Beacons
What is Beacons (2026 update)
Beacons is an all-in-one platform for content creators that combines a link-in-bio page, a digital storefront, email marketing, and a media kit into one dashboard. Instead of juggling separate tools for selling products, collecting tips, and pitching brand deals, creators run all of it from a single customizable page that their audience already visits.
What is new in 2026
Beacons has continued rounding out its AI feature set through 2026 rather than shipping one single headline release, with AI-assisted tools now covering bio writing, captions, email copy, and content ideas alongside built-in analytics for tracking clicks, sales, and audience engagement. The email marketing suite lets creators segment their audience and run distinct funnels, such as a welcome sequence or a sales campaign, from inside the same platform used for the storefront and media kit.
The core pitch has stayed consistent: manage growth across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube from one place, sell unlimited digital products, accept tips, promote affiliate links, and handle brand deal outreach without stitching together separate apps. For the latest specific feature rollouts, check the official Beacons blog or changelog, since incremental AI tool updates are shipped more often than they are formally announced.

Pricing in 2026
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Bio page, media kit, unlimited digital product sales, basic email marketing, and a taste of AI tools; carries a 9% seller fee |
| Creator Pro | $10/month ($8.33/mo billed annually) | Custom domain (free first year), advanced SEO, AI text and image generation, email automations, full branding removal; 9% seller fee still applies |
| Store Pro | $30/month ($25/mo billed annually) | 0% seller fees and more advanced storefront capabilities |
| Business Pro | $90/month ($75/mo billed annually) | Everything in Store Pro plus onboarding support and business-focused extras |
Annual billing saves roughly two months of payment on every paid tier compared to paying monthly. Check the official pricing page to confirm the current seller fee percentage and any regional payment processing charges, since these can apply on top of the plan price.
Who should use it
Beacons fits creators who already sell digital products, run affiliate links, or pitch brand deals and want to manage all of it from a single page instead of separate tools. The free plan is workable for someone just starting out and testing product sales, while Creator Pro is the natural next step once branding and AI tools matter. Store Pro becomes worth it as soon as sales volume makes the 9% fee more expensive than the $30 monthly cost.
Limitations and alternatives
The free and Creator Pro tiers both carry a 9% seller fee on digital product sales, which can outweigh the plan’s low sticker price for creators with meaningful sales volume, so it is worth calculating the break-even point against Store Pro’s 0% fee. Beacons is also built specifically around the creator monetization use case, so teams needing a broader no-code website or more advanced e-commerce logistics may outgrow it.
Alternatives worth comparing include Stan Store, which focuses more narrowly on selling digital products and coaching offers, Linktree, known primarily as a link-in-bio tool with lighter commerce features, and Kajabi, which suits creators who need a full course and membership platform rather than a link-in-bio store.
