Growth tools Linkmi ships free — not add-ons buried in an all-in-one bundle.
Your links open the native iOS or Android app directly, not a browser tab. Works for Spotify, TikTok, Instagram & 30+ apps.
Schedule any link to go live at a precise time, with a built-in countdown shown to visitors before the drop.
See every click a visitor makes on your profile, in order. Session-level tracking no competitor offers for free.
Every profile gets a downloadable QR code with per-scan tracking — device, date, and location included.
Beacons positions itself as an all-in-one creator platform: link in bio, online store, email marketing, media kit, invoicing, and AI tools in a single product. That breadth comes with trade-offs — a heavier page for your visitors, paid tiers for advanced analytics, and a 9% transaction fee on store sales for free-plan users.
Linkmi takes the opposite approach: do the link-in-bio core exceptionally well and give it away. Deep linking into native apps, scheduled links with countdowns, session-level visitor journey tracking, geo analytics, and QR codes with scan analytics are all free, with no percentage taken on anything you sell through your links.
Speed is the difference your visitors feel. Linkmi profiles are rendered server-side and arrive as ready-to-display HTML in under one second, even inside Instagram's or TikTok's in-app browser on a mid-range phone. App-like builders need to download and execute JavaScript before content appears — and every extra second of blank screen costs you clicks. See how to set up your page in minutes.
Deep Linking: Linkmi detects whether a visitor is on iOS or Android and routes the link directly into the native app — Spotify, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and 30+ others. Beacons does not offer this on any plan. Learn about deep linking.
Links Scheduler: Set any link to go live or expire at a specific date and time, with a countdown shown to visitors before it unlocks. Useful for drops, presales, and time-limited campaigns. Explore link scheduling.
Visitor Journey: See the sequence of clicks each individual session makes on your page. If a visitor clicks your merch link, then your YouTube link, then leaves — you know that. See visitor journey tracking.
QR Code with scan analytics: Every Linkmi profile has a downloadable QR code that tracks every scan exactly like a link click. Beacons limits QR features on the free plan. Generate a trackable QR code.
Media embeds: Add live Spotify players, YouTube embeds, and Instagram posts directly on your page without sending visitors elsewhere. Browse media embeds.

Beacons bundles many tools (email marketing, media kits, invoicing). Linkmi focuses on the link-in-bio core: speed, deep linking, scheduling, and analytics — and ships those free, where Beacons reserves advanced analytics for paid plans.
Your bio link is mostly opened on mid-range phones inside Instagram or TikTok's in-app browser. Linkmi pages are rendered server-side and load in under a second, so fewer visitors bounce before your links appear.
