MyBase vs Beacons
Beacons and MyBase both put a links page and selling tools on one URL; the difference is the fee on what you sell and how much of the page is optional. MyBase takes 0% commission and 0% platform fee on every plan, the free one included, and every section can be switched off, while Beacons charges a plan-dependent transaction fee and builds its integrations around affiliate brand partners — every figure below carries its source and the date it was read.
Side by side, as of 2026-09-05
| What | MyBase | Beacons |
|---|---|---|
| Plans and prices | Free is $0 forever. Pro is $9.99 a month, or $95.88 a year ($7.99 a month). checked against src/config/pro.ts, 2026-09-05 | Free $0. Creator $10/month, or $8.33/month billed annually ($100/year). Creator Plus $30/month, or $25/month billed annually ($300/year). Creator Max $90/month, or $75/month billed annually ($900/year). per beacons.ai, 2026-09-05 |
| Fees on sales | 0% commission and 0% platform fee on every plan. On paid downloads and paid collections the payment processor's card fee still applies. checked against supabase/functions/create-download-checkout, 2026-09-05 | Transaction fees of 9% on Free and Creator, and 0% on Creator Plus and Creator Max. per beacons.ai, 2026-09-05 |
| Can sections or links be hidden? | Yes. Every section is individually switchable, and a section that is off is not rendered at all, so there is nothing to collapse or hide. Six content sections also render nothing until they hold something. checked against src/hooks/useProfileAppearance.ts, 2026-09-05 | Not in the Beacons sources we read on 2026-09-05. |
| Embeds and integrations | Embeds from eight platforms — YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Spotify, SoundCloud, X, Pinterest and Instagram, where a profile link becomes a live feed — plus branded cards for 31 platforms, a card for any other https link, a GitHub contribution graph, and Calendly or Cal.com booking. checked against src/lib/embeds.ts, 2026-09-05 | No total is published. Named on the pricing page: affiliate links from its 12k brand partners, music embeds via Spotify, SoundCloud or Apple Music, live-event embeds via Bandsintown and Seated, a Shopify integration, Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest pixels, and Google Calendar. per beacons.ai, 2026-09-05 |
| Analytics on the free plan | Yes. Profile views, product views and clicks, likes, shares and a clicks-per-hundred-views rate over 7 days, 30 days or all time, a traffic mix by referrer, and a click count per product — all on the Free plan. checked against src/components/profile/ProfileAnalytics.tsx, 2026-09-05 | The Free plan card lists real-time analytics. The table also has advanced traffic and advanced sales analytics rows whose per-plan marks we could not read, so we state no tier for those. per beacons.ai, 2026-09-05 |
| Custom fonts and backgrounds | Free: every layout, 21 accent colours plus a colour wheel, curated background washes, any solid colour or gradient, and 18 cover-banner presets. Pro: fonts beyond the house pairing, the 147-image background gallery or your own image, animated backgrounds and video backdrops. checked against src/config/pro.ts, 2026-09-05 | The Free plan includes custom colours, fonts and images. We could not read the plan tier for background images and videos, so we state none. per help.beacons.ai, 2026-09-05 |
| Removing the platform's branding | Pro. Hiding the MyBase bar is a Pro feature. checked against src/config/pro.ts, 2026-09-05 | Creator Plus and higher can remove the Beacons logo from the link-in-bio page and product pages. per help.beacons.ai, 2026-09-05 |
| Custom domain | Not offered. Your page lives at mybase.page/yourname; there is no custom-domain setting. checked against src/ (no custom-domain code exists), 2026-09-05 | A custom domain is included from the Creator plan; the help centre says it is free for the first year. per help.beacons.ai, 2026-09-05 |
During early access every Pro feature is unlocked for every MyBase account. "Pro" above means what the code gates, not what is withheld today.
The range
A page of links is a first-class MyBase page, not a stripped-down one: paste a link, give it a name, and it is live at mybase.page/yourname with nothing else on the page. Every section is a switch. Switch one off and it is not rendered at all, so there is nothing to hide, collapse or tidy away — a links-only page shows links and nothing else. The same page can go as far as you want it to: products with your own affiliate links, playable videos and music, a booking button, email capture, downloads, collections, a countdown, a GitHub graph, all on a free grid you drag into any order.
Every feature, and the switch for each, is on /features.
Who each one is for
Choose Beacons if affiliate brand partnerships are the point: it embeds affiliate links from its brand-partner programme, adds live-event embeds through Bandsintown and Seated, and includes a custom domain from its Creator plan.
Choose MyBase if you want to keep every cent you earn on any plan — 0% commission and 0% platform fee — and to put products, playable embeds, email capture, downloads, collections and a booking link on the same page, or none of them: every section is optional, and a section that is off is not rendered.

As simple or as advanced as you want
A Creator Profile can be a blank page of links, or a page tailored to exactly how you want it — products with your own affiliate links, playable embeds, email capture, downloads, a booking link, collections, a countdown — laid out on a grid where any section can be full, half or quarter width and dragged into any order. Every section can be switched off, and a section that is off is not rendered, so a links-only page shows your links and nothing else. Setting one up asks for two things, your name and the handle you want; reserving your name is the first step.
