Linktree vs Beacons, and a third option built for design.

Linktree and Beacons are two of the best known link in bio tools, and they pull in different directions. Linktree is the original: a clean, fast stack of buttons that almost everyone recognizes. Beacons goes wide, bundling stores, tips, email capture, and other creator monetization tools into one builder.

If you are choosing between them, the real question is what you want the link to do. Be a simple, reliable list of links? Linktree is hard to beat. Run a small business from your bio? Beacons has the tools. But if you want the page itself to look designed and load fast, there is a third option worth seeing first.

Linktree's strength is simplicity and trust. It is fast, familiar, and gets a working page up in minutes. For a plain list of links, it does the job and almost everyone knows the format.

The limit is exactly that format. Because every Linktree is a stack of similar buttons, profiles look alike, and design control only goes so far. If the page is your first impression, it can read as generic.

Beacons is feature rich. If you want to sell digital products, collect tips, or capture emails straight from your link, it packs a lot into one place, and that breadth is a real strength for creators monetizing an audience.

The trade-off is weight and uniformity. As you switch on more tools, the page can feel busy and templated, and it carries more to load, which shows up in the in-app browsers on Instagram and TikTok where bio links open.

mypage.cc takes the design-first path. You pick from 61 premium themes, each a full design system where typography, spacing, radii, and color change together, so the page looks finished from the first second and switching themes never breaks the layout.

It reads like a personal homepage, not a button stack or a busy dashboard: a photo and bio, your best links in order, galleries, video, social icons, and Instagram-style stories. AI can draft the whole first version from one sentence, and pages ship near-zero JavaScript so they load instantly on mobile.

You can still link out to a shop or booking page as a block, so even if you sell, the page stays clean while the selling lives where it already works. See the deeper writeups on our Linktree alternative and Beacons alternative pages.

Pick Linktree if you want the simplest, most familiar list of links and nothing more. Pick Beacons if selling and creator monetization from the link is your main goal. Pick mypage.cc if you want a page that looks designed and loads fast, with the option to link out to wherever you sell.

If design and speed are what you care about, the easiest way to decide is to build one. It is free and takes about two minutes.
