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.

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.
Our note
Worth setting up while it costs nothing, since the booking page is useful even if you never touch the partner network. Weigh the 15 percent against what finding that sponsor yourself would have taken, and remember it applies for as long as the relationship does.
