Which should you choose?

Later: Visual social scheduler with link-in-bio and creator tools.

Beacons: All-in-one creator link-in-bio with store, media kit and email.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
