Beacons has a $0 per month plan that's free forever and gives you a username at a beacons.ai/ address. On the Free plan, you can sell unlimited digital products, make affiliate links, and keep unlimited contacts in the Beacons Audience Manager. You also get unlimited Link in Bio sub-pages, 1 website with 1 page, 30 daily AI credits, 50 email sends per month, and 5 automation sequences per month.
There's a catch on fees, though. Even though the Beacons homepage says there are no platform fees on the free plan, Beacons actually takes a 9% commission on all sales on the Free plan. Your Advanced DM Automations will also show Beacons branding on the Free plan.
If you want a custom domain and more email sends without paying $30 per month, the Creator plan is $10 per month ($8.33 per month when billed annually at $100). You get a free custom domain, 5 websites with 3 pages each, 300 daily AI credits, 500 email sends per month, and 5 automation sequences per month, though it still charges a 9% commission on all sales.
If you sell high volumes of digital products, courses, or memberships, you'll probably want Creator Plus at $30 per month ($25 per month billed annually at $300). It drops the sales commission to 0% and gives you unlimited courses with video hosting, memberships, email sends, and daily AI credits. Above that, Creator Max costs $100 per month ($83.3 per month billed annually at $1,000).
The biggest cost to watch for on Beacons is the 9% commission on all sales on both the Free and Creator plans. Even though the Beacons homepage states there are no platform fees on the free plan, you actually have to upgrade to Creator Plus at $30 per month ($25 per month billed annually at $300) or Creator Max at $100 per month ($83.3 per month billed annually at $1,000) to get 0% commission on all sales.
Paying monthly instead of annually also raises your rate. Creator jumps from $8.33 per month ($100 billed annually) to $10 per month, and Creator Plus goes from $25 per month ($300 billed annually) to $30 per month. By comparison, Linktree Pro has 0% platform sales fees at $14 per month billed annually ($17 billed monthly), though transaction and processing fees may apply.
