Question 1

Should I use Stick or Beacons?

Accepted Answer

Pick Beacons if you want a creator business suite — email marketing, a media kit, brand deals and a store under one login — and you are fine paying a percentage of sales until you outgrow it. Pick Stick if you want the page itself and nothing attached to it: every available block type, every theme and per-block styling are in its free plan, with no suite to learn.

Question 2

Is Beacons free, and what does it cost when I sell?

Accepted Answer

Beacons has a free plan, and it takes 9% of digital product sales on that plan and on the $10/mo Creator tier as well — the fee only reaches 0% on Creator Plus at $30/mo, which is also the tier that removes the Beacons logo. Stick takes no percentage of anything, because a Stick page has no checkout on it — the comparison only helps if selling is not the point of your page.

Question 3

What is the difference between Stick and Beacons?

Accepted Answer

Beacons is a creator business suite that starts with a link in bio; Stick is a page builder and stops there. That is the whole difference — Beacons gives you store, email marketing, media kit and brand-deal tooling in one place, and Stick gives you more control over how the page looks, in its free plan.
