Outli.ne vs Beacons
What starts as "I just need a link in bio" often turns into something bigger: How do I present my brand, build trust, and make it easy for people to work with me?
What Beacons is designed to do
Beacons is built as an all-in-one creator platform. It combines:
Beacons works well for influencers monetizing an audience, creators selling digital products, and those who want everything built in.
The trade-off
When a tool does many things, it makes compromises. With Beacons, the experience often feels:
- —Busier and more widget-driven
- —Less focused on visual storytelling
- —Optimized for business tooling over brand
