Pick Beacons if you sell less than about $189 a month, or if you want email and a media kit on a free plan: Beacons Free lets you charge for products and takes 9% of each sale. Pick Linktree Pro if you sell more than that from a country Linktree supports: it costs $17 a month with 0% Linktree fees, which is less than Beacons charges for its own 0% plan.
Prices are the US dollar prices on linktr.ee and beacons.ai on 9 November 2026. Linktree sets prices by region, so yours may differ. Linktree raised Starter and Pro in late October 2026, so an article that says $8 or $15 shows its old prices. Snapto competes with both, so check the sources on this page before you buy.

Plan price plus the platform's fee at each level of monthly sales. Linktree Pro and Beacons Free are the cheapest plans that let you charge for a digital product. Creator Plus is the cheapest Beacons plan with a 0% fee.
| You sell a month | Linktree Pro | Beacons Free (9%) | Beacons Creator Plus (0%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $17 | $9 | $30 |
| $250 | $17 | $22.50 | $30 |

These are monthly prices. Beacons Free costs less until 9% of your sales reaches $17, at about $189 a month. Above that, Linktree Pro costs less than any Beacons plan. On yearly billing the point moves to about $156 a month, because Linktree Pro drops to $14 a month. Beacons Creator ($10) is left out: it has the same 9% fee as Free, so it never costs less for selling alone.
The table leaves out three things. Payment processing by Stripe or PayPal costs extra on both. Linktree lists Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 per purchase, and its pricing page adds "Transaction and processing fees may apply" to the 0% fee. You can sell on Linktree only if you are based in a country it supports: the list has the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, much of Europe, Australia and some of Asia, but not India, Brazil or South Africa. And on Linktree Free, tips and Pay to Unlock cost 12%.

Selling more than about $189 a month ($156 if you pay Linktree yearly): Pro costs $17 with 0% Linktree fees, and Beacons' 0% plan costs $30. Longer analytics: 365 days on Pro and all time on Premium. Letting Claude or ChatGPT edit your page, through Linktree's MCP server on Premium.
Selling on a free plan: Beacons Free can charge for digital products. Linktree Free cannot, and takes 12% of tips and Pay to Unlock. Sending email from the same tool, with 50 sends a month on Free. A media kit for brand deals, which updates daily on every plan. Several sites on one plan: Creator covers 5 websites, while each Linktree plan covers one Linktree.
Either free plan works: both have unlimited links. Beacons Free adds email sends and a media kit. Linktree Free shows 28 days of analytics, and Starter ($9, or $7 billed yearly) shows 90.
Beacons Free, while your sales stay under about $189 a month, or about $156 if you would pay Linktree yearly. You pay nothing until you sell, and you get email sends and a media kit as well.
Linktree Pro, if Linktree supports your country. If it does not, Beacons Creator Plus ($30, or $25 billed yearly) also takes 0% of your sales.
Linktree Premium ($35, or $30 billed yearly) includes an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. We found none for Beacons. Snapto also has one, from $9 a month (see below).
Snapto has no store, payments, email list or media kit. If you sell from your page, choose Linktree or Beacons with the numbers above.
If you do not sell and you want an AI agent to keep your page up to date, Snapto Pro costs $9/month or $90/year. Its MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor add, reorder and remove your links and read your clicks for you. Your own code can do the same through the REST API, and one plan covers 10 profiles. On Linktree, the MCP server needs Premium. Snapto Free has 1 profile and 5 links, and Google does not list free Snapto pages.
