NexLink vs Beacons
NexLink builds a page that links to your existing services. Beacons combines a link page with a store, email tools and a media kit. Choose around the workflow you need to keep.
Create your free NexLink page: up to 2 sites, 50 links each, no credit card.
The short version
- NexLink Free currently offers up to two sites with 50 links per page, scheduling, contact capture and seven-day reporting with analytics export. Pro adds branding removal, unlimited sites and longer history.
- Beacons combines a customizable link page with creator-business tools. Its Creator Plus plan includes logo removal and 0% Beacons seller fees.
- NexLink does not process sales. A linked store or payment provider can still charge fees, so its Pro price is not the total cost of running a storefront.

Sources and limits
Official sources checked October 9, 2026. Published by NexLink; this is a documentation-based comparison, not an independent hands-on ranking.
Check the official plan details before switching. Features, regional availability and billing terms change. NexLink links to your existing checkout; it does not replace a native storefront. We have not published a controlled cross-vendor speed benchmark.
Keep Beacons when its store is part of your business
A page move does not move orders, product files, memberships or email automations. If you use these tools in Beacons, list what each replacement would cost and how customer access would continue before changing services.
Beacons’ 0% seller-fee plans still use payment processors with their own fees. Check your account’s actual plan and payment terms when estimating take-home revenue.
Use NexLink when the destinations already exist
NexLink suits a page that sends visitors to your existing shop, booking calendar, music releases or newsletter. Free currently covers studio controls, scheduling, contact capture and seven-day reporting with analytics export. Pro adds branding removal, unlimited sites and longer history.
A NexLink contact form collects a lead. It does not send a newsletter, deliver a digital product or prove that a visitor bought something after following a link.
Compare the whole setup before switching
Build a sample NexLink page with your real destinations and check it on your phone. Review the editor’s layouts, forms and link order rather than assuming a Beacons design transfers automatically.
We have not published a controlled Beacons speed comparison. Page content, embeds, device and connection affect loading time; a different rendering architecture alone is not a measured advantage.

Try the page before moving your profile URL
Choose the tool that fits how you share your work. NexLink focuses on a customizable link page, with a free entry plan and optional Pro branding removal, unlimited sites and longer analytics history. Test your main links and preferred layout before moving your social profile URL.
Free currently includes up to two sites, 50 links per page, 30 font choices, studio controls, scheduling, lead capture and seven-day reporting with analytics export. Pro is $4.99 monthly or $29.99 billed yearly and adds branding removal, unlimited sites and longer analytics history. Read the full plan details before choosing.
