Beacons pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
Beacons (beacons.ai) is a link management tool. Four flat tiers (Free, Creator, Creator Plus, Creator Max), billed monthly or annually at a lower per-month rate, with 9% seller and affiliate fees on Free and Creator and 0% on Creator Plus and up.. Free plan: Free forever: customizable bio-link page, 1 website with 1 page, 50 email sends a month, 9% seller and affiliate fees..
What Beacons costs
- 1 user, branded: $30/mo (Creator Plus, monthly billing: $30/mo. The page never says which plan removes Beacons branding from a bio page. The DM automations row reads 'with Beacons branding' for Free and Creator and plain 'Unlimited' for Creator Plus and Max, so Creator Plus is taken as the cheapest tier that drops branding (inferred, not stated). Per-plan link-click analytics are also unstated: Free includes real-time analytics, and the FAQ says creators can see what audiences click and where they come from. No link cap is stated, so the 15-link requirement is treated as met. If bio-page branding removal is Max-only, this point would be 100. Annual Creator Plus ($25/mo) is not used.)
- 3 users, 3 brands: no public price (Null: no seats, team members or multi-user logins are listed for any plan, and the page says 'One Beacons account' gives access to its tools, so 3 users with their own logins cannot be priced.)
Plan compared: Creator Plus, monthly billing ($30/mo). Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the cheapest plan that puts one user's links under their own brand with click analytics: short links on your own domain (100 new links and 10,000 clicks a month) for URL shorteners, a bio page without the vendor's branding for link-in-bio tools, and logo-branded dynamic QR codes for QR tools. We also price a 3-person team running 3 brands at ten times the link volume.

Pricing page: beacons.ai/i/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Plan prices come from the official pricing page (fetched 2026-10-17) and PricingSaaS (captured 2026-09-07); the Creator Max annual figures conflict ($900/yr vs $83.3/mo) but do not affect the ref point. The branding and analytics tier is inferred from the page, and no price-increase search ran because the search budget was used up this turn, so changes is empty and unverified before PricingSaaS began tracking on 2026-07-05.
