Beacons vs Linktree: an honest comparison

Beacons and Linktree both turn your bio link into a page of links, and both have free plans. Where they differ is focus: Linktree is the simple, well-known link page; Beacons bundles creator business tools around it.

The main difference

• Linktree focuses on the link page itself: buttons, design, analytics and integrations with the apps you already use.
• Beacons adds creator tools around the page, such as a storefront, a media kit for brand deals and other monetisation features.

Choose Beacons if

• You are a creator who works with brands and wants a media kit.
• You want to sell products from the same place as your links.
• You like having many creator tools in one account.

Choose Linktree if

• You want the simplest possible link page.
• You care about a widely recognised address.
• You mainly link out to other platforms.

Pricing

Both have a free plan, and paid plans unlock more features and lower fees. See our Linktree pricing breakdown and our Beacons comparison, and check each site for current prices.
