Lnk.Bio vs Beacons

Lnk.Bio is a minimalist yet powerful link‑in‑bio tool favored by Instagram influencers for its simplicity and affordable lifetime pricing. It offers unlimited links even on the free plan, with advanced features accessible via a one‑time purchase—$9.99 for Mini or $24.99 for Pro.

Supported features include link grouping, scheduling visibility, embed media (music, YouTube), contact forms, and Instagram feed syncing. Pro tier unlocks storefronts, appointment booking widgets, and deep customization with over 300 themes, custom fonts, backgrounds, and custom domain mapping.

Beacons.ai stands out as a complete creator platform. It provides link‑in‑bio, a mini storefront, media kit builder, email marketing, and AI tools. Free and Creator tiers impose a ~9% transaction fee; Pro and VIP remove fees and branding.

Features include drag‑and‑drop design, custom domains, embedded media, digital product sales, lead capture, and integrations like Zapier, pixels, and AI tools.

While praised for its versatility, it has drawn criticism over billing transparency and customer support responsiveness.
