Beacons is a creator platform with a store inside it: digital products, courses and merch sold straight from the link. The GoFeed bio sells nothing. It is a link page per brand with its own stats, and behind it sit the calendar, the inbox and the analytics of those same accounts.
Two products with the same silhouette
Seen on a follower's phone the two are identical: a page with a photo, four links and a row of social icons. Seen from the inside they are very different things, and the difference comes down to one question. Does the page take money, or does the page link out?
| Beacons | GoFeed | |
|---|---|---|
| Link page | Yes | Yes, one per brand |
| Store and checkout on the page | Yes, digital products and courses | No |
| Email to your audience | Yes | No |
| Media kit for brand deals | Yes, updates itself | No |
| Page statistics | Yes | Yes, and per day with Bio Pro |
| Calendar and publishing | No | Yes, on fourteen networks |
| Inbox with messages, comments and reviews | No | Yes |
| Analytics of the connected accounts | No | Yes, on six networks |
The first two rows decide everything. Beacons is built around monetising and carries the whole machine for it; this is a social media management tool where the link page is one more piece, included in every plan.
What Beacons costs today
Beacons publishes two tiers and a commission, and the commission is the part most people skip when they compare.
| Plan | Per month | Seller fee | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Forever | 0 USD | 9 % | Link in bio, media kit, courses with video, 5 email automations |
| Creator Plus | 30 USD | 0 % | All of the above, unlimited email sends, memberships, custom domain |
Prices checked on 6 September 2026: Beacons.
That 9 % seller fee is what turns the comparison into arithmetic. The free plan stops being free the moment you sell: at 400 USD of monthly sales the fee already costs more than the paid tier, and from there Creator Plus pays for itself. If you sell nothing from the page, on the other hand, the Beacons free plan is hard to beat and that should be said plainly.
One thing neither pricing page mentions is worth adding, because in Spain it carries weight: whoever takes the payment does not settle your tax position. The gateway moves the money, but the invoice with your own number series, your VAT regime and IRPF withholding, the Spanish income tax retention, where it applies, is still issued by you. In an agency workspace that part lives inside the tool, next to the quotes and the contracts; for a creator selling digital products it stays outside both tools.
There is no seller fee on this side for a very simple reason: there are no sales. The page does not take money, so there is nothing to take a percentage of. What the tool itself costs is on the pricing page, which reads the live catalogue, and the link page is included in every plan of all three audiences.
One subscription per page, or one per workspace
The figure that decides is not the plan, it is the unit. Beacons is bought per page, so the number on the left has to be multiplied by however many projects you run.

Our figures are read from the live catalogue, which is why they are not written into the article: the pricing page.
The two columns do not measure the same thing. The left one is in dollars and it is per page: a creator with three projects who wants all three fee free is looking at three sign ups, three logins and 90 USD a month, and the free tier carries a variable line on top that rises exactly when the sales rise. The right one is the whole workspace, in euros and net of IVA, the Spanish value added tax, with no charge per seat and none per post. Brands have no limit of their own, they only take up connected accounts, so each brand brings its own page inside the same subscription, and the add on that takes the mark off the footer is bought once for the workspace rather than page by page.
What fits in neither column is what genuinely separates the two. On the Beacons side, the store, the checkout, the courses, the memberships, the audience email and the media kit, plus a free tier that a creator with one page and nothing to sell will not beat here. On ours, the fourteen network calendar, the inbox and the analytics of the same accounts that send people to that page.
What the GoFeed bio actually is
Precision matters here, because the name invites you to assume more. Each brand gets a page on gofeedapp.com under its own code, served by this very site. Inside there are sixteen full templates and, on top of them, the brand theme: the colour, the heading typeface and the shape of the buttons, the same theme the rest of your workspace carries.
Every link has an icon and a line of description. One can be featured at the very top, and any of them can carry a date window so it appears for a campaign and disappears when the campaign ends, without anyone having to remember to remove it. Above the links sits the row of the brand's profiles, and a YouTube video or a Spotify record can be embedded in the page itself, so nobody has to leave it. There is also a switch that keeps the page out of search engines, for when it should only be reached from the profile.
What there is not is a store. No cart, no payment gateway, no digital delivery. If you sell something, the link points at whatever already takes your money and the click is counted in the page stats. The full description, with the templates and what each page measures, is in the link in bio guide.
Bio Pro buys exactly three things
An add-on you can explain in one sentence is an honest add-on, so here is the sentence. Bio Pro removes the GoFeed mark from the footer, opens the per day detail of the statistics, and lets you choose the code in the address instead of accepting the one that was generated for you.
Nothing else. In particular, it is not a custom domain: the page lives on the site's domain, the Custom domain add-on covers the app and not the bio page, and confusing the two is the most common mistake when somebody compares this page against another product's. What the module does include, in every plan and with no add-on, is described in full on the Bio module page.
There is a detail almost nobody mentions and it is worth knowing. The statistics rows are stored either way, add-on or not. What Bio Pro buys is the day by day view, not the collection of the data, so turning it on in March draws the chart backwards to January and you have lost nothing by waiting. And in reverse: if you stop paying for it one month, the page stays live with everything in it, and only the mark comes back to the footer.
Everything in this article happens in one place in GoFeed.
Try it freeWhat sits behind the page
This is the real argument of this comparison, and it has nothing to do with the page itself. In Beacons the bio is the centre of the product and everything else orbits around selling from it. Here the bio is one tab inside the place where you already run the whole brand.
That means concrete things. The calendar of that brand, with the posts pushing the link, is one click away. So is the inbox where the comments on those posts and the messages they provoke arrive, and it treats messages, comments and reviews as three kinds of the same object. The analytics of the connected accounts, with the reach and engagement of the pieces that sent people to the page, come from the same six networks. Changing the featured link before a launch is a thirty second edit in the same place where you scheduled the announcement.
There is one more piece playing on the same ground as the Beacons auto replies, and it deserves a careful comparison. There is a DM automation module: somebody writes a keyword in a comment and the private message goes out on its own, carrying a short link this same site serves and that can be measured. It works on Instagram and Facebook, and there is an optional gate that asks the person whether they follow you and reads the answer, rather than querying the platform. The difference against Beacons is packaging: there the auto replies are in the free plan, and here the module is switched on per plan or bought separately.
There is also a difference of model that shows the moment you run more than one project: there is one page per brand, and brands have no limit of their own: each takes at least one connected account. A creator with three projects has three brands, three pages with their own colours and three sets of statistics, without opening three accounts or paying three times, because the price is per workspace rather than per seat.
What Beacons does better
Almost everything around making money, and the list is not short.
The first is the store. Digital products, courses with hosted video, merch, memberships and checkout straight from the link. That is its entire product and there is no reduced version of it here. A creator whose main income comes from the link in bio should not move that link to this tool, and the free plan with its 9 % fee lets them start without putting money down first.
The second is email to the audience. Beacons captures subscribers from the page and sends them campaigns and automations from the same place. There is no audience email of any kind here, and anyone building a list should stay where the list lives.
The third is the media kit that updates itself with your own numbers, plus the brand side built to land collaborations. It is a piece of the creator trade solved in detail, and there is nothing comparable to offer.
The sensible answer, if you sell from the link and also run several brands on social, is not to choose: the selling page stays where the money is taken and the social work is run from where it is scheduled and measured. The comparison between the three big link in bio names is in Linktree, Beacons and Stan Store, and the specific case of the store shaped like a bio is in GoFeed versus Stan Store.
