alias vs Beacons
Beacons is a whole creator business: a store, email, a media kit, AI. alias does one thing loud: your name, proven, on a page that moves, paid for once.
alias Plus is €4.99, once, and it never renews: your page, your links, verified handles and stats are free. Beacons' cheapest paid plan, Creator, is $100 a year ($100, billed yearly), every year: $300 after three. Free on Beacons: a link in bio, a media kit, selling digital products with a 9% fee, 50 emails a month and analytics.
