Linktotem vs Beacons

Beacons is built for creators who want a media kit, email tools and AI in one place, and it has a free plan. Linktotem is built for people who sell or run a business from the page: 0% on sales instead of 9%, in Portuguese, with the blocks a local business needs. Beacons has more tools; we take less of your money.

Choose Beacons if…

  • you're a creator chasing brand deals and want a media kit and invoices in the same product;
  • you want to sell from a free plan and accept a 9% fee while sales are small;
  • the AI writing tools and the email sender are things you'd actually use.

Choose Linktotem if…

  • you sell: Beacons keeps 9% on Free and on the $10 Creator plan, and we keep nothing;
  • your page is for a business — hours, a menu, a map and a booking button aren't creator features;
  • you work in Portuguese: Beacons doesn't say anywhere that its dashboard speaks it.

Every row links to the page we read it on. Prices change and several of these vary by country — if a number here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.

What each one really costs

Beacons starts at nothing and rises to $100 a month: Creator at $10, Creator Plus at $30, Creator Max at $100, each cheaper if you pay for the year. Linktotem publishes for free; Starter, where selling starts, is €5 a month or €50 a year, and Pro is €12.

The catch on Beacons is the seller fee, and it's the same catch as everywhere: the free plan and the $10 plan keep 9% of what you sell. A creator selling €1.000 a month on the "free" plan pays €90 that month — nine times our Starter subscription. To get to 0% you take the $30 Creator Plus plan, which is six times our Starter price.

Beacons prices in dollars and shows no euro price, so what you pay in Portugal depends on the card rate and on tax, which its pricing page doesn't state.

Where Beacons is better

Its free plan lets you sell from day one, and it has far more tools than we do: a media kit builder, invoices, an email sender, AI writing, link shortening, a small website builder. If you want one subscription to run a creator business, that breadth is real.

Its custom domain arrives at $10 a month; ours comes with Pro at €12 a month, together with 5 pages. On this row the two are close.

For creators who work with brands, the media kit and rate-card tooling are more mature than anything we have.

Moving from Beacons

Nothing imports automatically. The links take minutes; what takes thought is deciding which of Beacons' extra tools you actually used.

  1. List what you really use in Beacons — the link page, or the email and invoice tools too.
  2. Rebuild the page here from a template, replacing the example content.
  3. Move whatever you sell to your own Stripe account, so nobody takes a cut but Stripe.
  4. Point your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube links at the new page.
  5. Keep Beacons for the tools you still need, or close it once the page has moved.

Questions

Does Beacons really take 9%?

On the Free and Creator plans, yes — Beacons says so on its pricing page and in its help centre. Creator Plus and Creator Max are 0%. Stripe's fee applies on top either way.

Is Beacons free?

There's a free plan that publishes a page with unlimited links and products. It's free to keep, not free to sell on: the 9% seller fee is how it pays for itself.

Can I use Beacons in Portuguese?

Beacons doesn't publish a list of dashboard languages and its help centre is in English, so we can't say either way. We've left that row as "not stated" rather than guess.

Does Beacons work for a restaurant or a salon?

It can hold your links and take bookings, but it has no opening hours, no map and no menu block. For a local business that's most of the page missing.

Which is cheaper overall?

If you don't sell, both free plans cost nothing. Selling more than about €60 a month, Linktotem — because 9% of your sales quickly exceeds our €5 Starter plan. Below that, Beacons' free plan lets you sell without a subscription.

Found a mistake?

We get things wrong, and competitors change their prices without telling us. If a row here doesn't match what you see on their site, write to us with the link and we'll correct the page.
