Beacons alternative
Beacons takes a 9% seller fee on its Free and Creator ($10/month) plans and none on Creator Plus ($30/month) or Creator Max ($100/month). Pluff Starter is $19/month with a 4% platform fee, 2% on Pro and none on Studio — and Pluff's AI builds your products and sets up your page, and you can run a free or paid community from the same link (checked October 26, 2026).

Beacons blocks other sites from reading its pages, so send Pluff's AI a screenshot of your Beacons page (or two, if it's long) or paste your links. It rebuilds your page from that — name, bio, socials, links in their order and your products with their prices — in a design that fits you. Check it, put it live with one tap, then swap the link in your bio; your Beacons page keeps working until you do.
Files you sell on Beacons aren't on the public page: attach them in the chat and the AI re-lists them, or rebuilds a PDF as an interactive guide, course or challenge.
On Beacons' Creator plan, 9% of $500 in monthly sales is $45 on top of $10; on Pluff Starter, 4% of $500 is $20 on top of $19. Beacons' 0% plans start at $30/month. Card processing by Stripe applies on both.
Pluff is the link in bio where creators sell — and it works as a plain link in bio too.
The TikTok link-in-bio problem
TikTok limits external link chains in its in-app browser and can push people out to their phone's browser — and every extra hop between a post and a product is a chance to lose someone. Pluff keeps your storefront, checkout and product together at one link, so followers tap, pay and start without a chain of redirects, inside TikTok or Instagram.
You never have to leave Pluff to make, host, sell or run your products. Cancel the stack.
