What Beacons does well

Beacons is a comprehensive creator monetization platform. Beyond link-in-bio, it includes a built-in digital product store (sell courses, downloads, presets), tools for growing a fan email list, and a media kit generator. For creators whose primary goal is selling to their followers directly, Beacons is purpose-built for that.

If your audience already exists and you want to monetize it with digital products, Beacons offers a mature, cohesive toolset.

Where Sell Bio goes further

Beacons shows visitors a page. Sell Bio takes them on a journey. With Sell Bio's conditional flow builder, each visitor gets a personalized experience based on their answers. A coaching funnel might ask about goals and budget, then surface the right offer. A freelancer funnel might qualify by industry and project size before revealing a contact form.

This isn't something Beacons is designed to do — and that's fine. They're different tools for different problems.

Lead capture compared

Beacons includes email list building as a core feature — visitors can subscribe from your bio page. Sell Bio takes a different approach: lead capture is embedded within flows. By the time a visitor shares their email in Sell Bio, they've already answered qualifying questions and demonstrated genuine intent. The leads Sell Bio captures tend to be more qualified.

Beacons pricing in 2026: plans and fees

Beacons has four plans in 2026 (priced in USD): Free at $0/month, Creator at $10/month, Creator Plus at $30/month, and Creator Max at $90/month.

The plans differ most on the selling fee. Beacons takes 9% of your sales on the Free and Creator plans, and 0% on Creator Plus and Creator Max — plus the standard payment-processing fees any platform passes on. So on the lower tiers the effective cost of Beacons rises with everything you sell, not just the monthly price.

Pricing compared

If you only need a bio link, lead capture and funnels, Sell Bio is the more focused option. Beacons at Creator Plus ($30/month USD) also has a product store — but on its Free and Creator tiers Beacons takes 9% of everything you sell, where Sell Bio Growth takes 0% and Creator 1.5%.

PlanSell BioBeacons

Pricing is approximate. Check official sites for current rates.

Does Sell Bio have a digital product store?

Yes. Every current Sell Bio plan includes digital products: Bio supports 1 published product with a 5% Sell Bio fee, Creator supports up to 5 with a 1.5% fee, and Growth has no configured product limit with a 0% fee.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between Sell Bio and Beacons?

Beacons is a creator monetization platform — digital product store, fan email list, and media kit. Sell Bio is an interactive funnel builder with conditional logic. Beacons is designed for selling to your existing audience; Sell Bio is designed for converting and qualifying leads from your bio link.

Can Sell Bio replace Beacons?

It depends on your goal. Sell Bio replaces Beacons if your priority is interactive funnels and qualified lead capture. If you need to sell digital products directly from your bio or manage a fan email list, Beacons has more mature commerce features for now.

Does Sell Bio have a digital product store like Beacons?

Yes. Sell Bio supports digital products on every current plan: 1 published product on Bio, up to 5 on Creator, and no configured limit on Growth. Sell Bio fees are 5%, 1.5%, and 0% respectively; payment processor fees are separate.

What makes Sell Bio different from Beacons for coaches?

Beacons lets coaches list their services as links or products. Sell Bio lets coaches build a qualification funnel — ask about goals, experience level, and budget before surfacing the right offer. For coaches who want to filter prospects, Sell Bio's conditional logic is the key differentiator.

Which platform is better for coaches?

Sell Bio. The flow builder lets you qualify leads before they book — asking about their goals, budget, and timeline — so you only get on calls with people who are a good fit. Beacons lets you sell coaching sessions, but every visitor sees the same booking page regardless of whether they're your ideal client.

Can I migrate from Beacons to Sell Bio?

There's no one-click migration tool, but the switch is straightforward. Create your Sell Bio account, set up your products using the wizard, build a lead qualification flow, and update your bio link. Your Beacons page can stay active during the transition while you test Sell Bio's conversion tools.

What about community features?

Neither platform has a built-in community feature comparable to dedicated community platforms. Beacons supports memberships with recurring access, as does Sell Bio. For full community features, both platforms would require integration with an external tool.

Bottom line

Beacons is great for creators who want a storefront in their bio. Sell Bio is for anyone who needs to qualify, segment, and convert visitors through interactive funnels. If your goal is lead qualification over direct sales, Sell Bio is the better fit.

Sell Bio does not offer a permanent free plan for new accounts. Bio costs €4 per month or €40 per year. Creator and Growth include a seven-day trial that requires a card and add flows, CRM, AI and automation by plan.
