Linkmi vs Beacons: two different philosophies

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move my Beacons page to Linkmi?

Yes. Create your free Linkmi profile and add your existing links — most profiles have fewer than 10 links, so the switch takes under five minutes. Your Linkmi URL is ready to paste into your bios immediately.

Is Linkmi really free, with no transaction fees?

Yes. The free plan never expires and requires no credit card. Linkmi does not take a percentage of anything you sell through your links, while Beacons charges a 9% transaction fee on store sales on its free plan.

Does Linkmi have fewer features than Beacons?

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.

Why does page speed matter for a link in bio?

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.
