Beacons vs Passionfroot Comparison 2026
Beacons bundles a link page, a store and a brand media kit into one account, free with Beacons branding and a 9 percent cut of store sales, or $10 a month with the same cut until the top two tiers remove it. Passionfroot is narrower and free for the creator: a booking page where a sponsor sees your rate, picks a slot and pays, costing nothing on a deal you bring yourself beyond a 2 percent fee the brand pays, and 15 percent including payment fees only on deals Passionfroot introduces. One sells products and pitches sponsors from the same page. The other only does the sponsor page, and only charges when it does the finding.

Beacons
Link in bio that doubles as a store and a media kit
Beacons started as a link page and grew into email, a shop and a media kit for brand deals. Having the pitch deck and the store in the same place is genuinely useful. The free tier carries branding.
Our note
Good if the media kit is the reason you are here. If it is not, Beacons is a heavier link page than most people need, and the 9 percent on the cheap plans is easy to miss until a product sells well.

Passionfroot
A booking page for brand deals and pricing
Passionfroot gives sponsors a page where they can see your rates, pick a slot and pay, instead of a fortnight of email. Invoicing and briefs are handled. It costs a creator nothing to use, and earns from a percentage of the deals it introduces.
Why people weigh these two
- Passionfroot instead of Beacons
- Passionfroot turns the same page into a booking form for brand deals with rates attached, free to start, aimed at selling sponsorships rather than products.
- Beacons instead of Passionfroot
- Beacons starts as a link in bio page that also carries a store and media kit, a broader everyday link than Passionfroot's sponsor-specific booking page.
Which one should you pick
Pick Beacons if the media kit and a product store both need to live on the same page as your links. The free plan carries branding and a 9 percent cut of what the store sells, and $10 a month keeps that same cut, so work out the percentage against your own store revenue before assuming the cheap tier is cheap. Anybody who only wants a tidy list of links is paying for a heavier tool than they need.
Pick Passionfroot if brand deals are the entire job and you have enough inbound sponsor interest to need a queue. It costs nothing to set up, and a deal you source yourself only costs the brand a 2 percent fee, while a deal Passionfroot introduces through its partner network takes 15 percent including payment fees. Below a real flow of inbound interest, the booking page sits empty, since the tool organises demand rather than creating it.
Common questions
- Which one costs the creator more?
- Beacons does, directly. Its free plan takes a 9 percent cut of store sales and carries branding, and $10 a month keeps that same 9 percent. Passionfroot costs a creator nothing on a self-sourced deal, since the 2 percent fee there is paid by the brand, and only reaches 15 percent on deals it introduces itself.
- Does Passionfroot have a store like Beacons does?
- No. Passionfroot is a booking page for brand deals: rates, open slots, invoicing and briefs, with a partner network that can introduce sponsors. Beacons combines a link page, a product store with a 9 percent take rate, and a media kit in one account.
- When does Passionfroot actually charge anything?
- Only when it introduces the deal itself, through its partner network, at 15 percent including payment fees. A deal a creator brings on their own only costs the brand a 2 percent fee. The software itself stays free either way.
- How do I remove Beacons branding without paying the 9 percent forever?
- The two tiers above the $10 a month plan remove the 9 percent cut entirely, though their prices are not listed on the page. The free and $10 tiers both keep the 9 percent regardless of the monthly fee.
