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.

Branded short links on your own domain
Rebrandly shortens a link onto a domain you own, so what gets shared carries your name rather than a shortener's. Around that sit click analytics, QR codes, link galleries and the ability to change where an old link points. The free plan is ten links a month, which is a taste rather than a tool.
Our note
Rebrandly is the pick when the branded domain matters more than the analytics. Short.io gives more away at the bottom of its range, so compare the two on how many links you really create each month.
