Beacons does the most for a creator who has not paid for anything yet. The free plan builds a customizable link in bio page, sells unlimited digital products, creates affiliate links, keeps a media kit that updates every day, answers Instagram comments with Smart Reply auto-DMs and sends 50 emails a month. The trade is a 9% seller fee on free plan sales. Creator, at $100 billed annually or $10 month to month, adds a free custom domain, 500 email sends a month and advanced SEO and marketing settings. Creator Plus, at $25 per month billed annually or $30 monthly, removes seller fees, adds Buy Now Pay Later at checkout and lifts the email limit. For a creator who wants selling, email and click data on one page, this is the widest free starting point we compared, and the paid steps are clearly priced.
