Beacons pricing explained: what each tier changes
Beacons sells a Free plan and three paid tiers: Creator, Creator Plus and Creator Max. The prices below were read from Beacons' own pricing page on 2026-10-11, in US dollars, with the monthly and yearly figures kept apart.
Beacons is much more than a page of links. It bundles an AI assistant, a store, a media kit and email sending, and the tiers are mostly about those extras. The line to watch is the seller fee: 9% on Free and Creator, 0% from Creator Plus.
We make a pay-once link page, so we are biased. Below we say who should stay on Beacons, who is paying for a feature they do not use, and what our product does not do.

What Beacons does well
A store with courses and memberships
Free already lets you sell unlimited digital products, and Creator Plus adds courses with video hosting, memberships and buy now pay later. If your page is a shop, Beacons is built for it, and a plain link page cannot replace that.
AI tools and a media kit
Every plan includes daily AI credits, and the pricing page lists a media kit and brand deal tools. Creators who pitch brands get real value from these, and we offer none of them.
Email sends and Instagram auto-DMs
Beacons sends email to your audience, from 50 a month on Free to unlimited on Creator Plus, and automates Instagram DMs on every plan. If you run a list from your page, you need a tool that sends.
A free plan with a lot in it
Free gives you a page, a media kit, digital product sales and analytics at no cost. If you can live with the 9% fee and the daily AI cap, there is no reason to pay anyone, us included.
What each Beacons tier actually changes
Beacons builds each tier on the one below. Free gives a link in bio page, a media kit, unlimited digital products, analytics, Instagram auto-DMs, 50 email sends a month and 30 AI credits a day. Creator adds 300 daily AI credits, a free custom domain, custom-domain link in bio and store URLs, 500 email sends a month and advanced SEO. Creator Plus adds unlimited AI credits, 0% seller fees, buy now pay later, 100% affiliate commissions, courses with video hosting, memberships and unlimited email sends. Creator Max adds Google Workspace, white-glove onboarding, prioritized support, an NFC card and in-person events.
The list shows where the money goes. Creator is mostly about a domain and more AI and email room. Creator Plus is about selling. Creator Max is about service and physical extras rather than anything on the page itself.
Monthly or yearly billing
Creator is $8.33 a month on yearly billing, which is $100 for the year, or $10 a month if you pay monthly, so $120 over twelve months. Creator Plus is $25 against $30, so $300 against $360. Creator Max is $83.33 against $100.
Yearly billing saves about 17 percent on each tier. It also means paying the whole year at once, so check that you still want the page in twelve months before choosing it.
The seller fee decides who pays for Creator Plus
Free and Creator both take 9% of sales. Creator Plus takes none. Creator Plus costs $16.67 a month more than Creator on yearly billing, and 9% of $185 is about that amount. If your monthly sales through Beacons stay below roughly $185, the cheaper plan costs less overall.
Payment processors charge their own fees on top, and that is separate from what Beacons lists. If you sell only occasionally, staying on Free or Creator is the sensible choice.
What one plan costs over one, two and three years
Creator on yearly billing is $100 after a year, $200 after two and $300 after three. On monthly billing it is $120, $240 and $360. Creator Plus on yearly billing is $300, $600 and $900. Creator Max on yearly billing is harder to pin down: the pricing page shows $83.33 a month, which would be about $1,000 a year, but the same card says $900 billed annually, so check the checkout before you commit. These figures assume Beacons keeps today's prices, which it can change at any time.
These are prices for one account. The public tiers show no per-seat charge.
Who should stay on Beacons, and who can look elsewhere
If you sell products or courses, send email to an audience, use the AI tools or pitch brands with the media kit, the subscription buys features a link page does not have. Stay on Beacons.
If you pay for Creator mainly to get your own domain on a branded link page, the number that matters is $100 a year. GrapeLink costs $8 once, supports a custom domain, hides its footer and has themes, fonts, button styles and click counts per link. It has no store, no selling, no email sending, no AI and no media kit, and its sign-up block only collects addresses for you to export. Check that list against what your Beacons page does today before you move.
