What is Beacons?

The placeholder name Zapier Short (Beacons) pointed to beacons.ai, but that site has no connection to Zapier. The actual product there is Beacons, an all-in-one creator platform combining a link-in-bio page, website builder, digital storefront, affiliate marketplace, email marketing, an auto-updating media kit for brand deals, and Instagram DM automation. Its features are increasingly built around Beam, an AI assistant that helps generate page designs, emails, and outreach content.

Beacons was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. It offers a free-forever plan, which carries a 9% fee on sales, plus three paid tiers: Creator at $10/month, Creator Plus at $30/month, and Creator Max at $90/month. The two higher paid tiers remove the seller fee entirely and add unlimited AI credits, custom domains, and priority support.

Beacons lists 10 documented features, including Customizable link-in-bio page and mini-website builder, Digital storefront for selling digital products, courses, and memberships and Auto-updating media kit for brand deal pitching.
