Miine vs Beacons, written honestly

The short answer

Choose Beacons if you intend to earn money through the page — selling digital products, taking tips, building an email or SMS list, or pitching brands with a media kit. Choose Miine if you want a page that looks exactly like you designed it, costs nothing, and does not ask to become your storefront.

These are not really the same category of product. Beacons bundles a link page into a wider suite of creator business tools. Miine is a page builder with unusually deep styling controls and no commerce at all. Comparing them feature-for-feature flatters Miine in a way that is not useful, so the table below is honest about how much more Beacons does.

Side by side

Beacons changes its plans and feature boundaries regularly, so read the right-hand column as a direction rather than a quotation, and check their pricing page before deciding. The rows marked "Not offered" for Miine are not a roadmap — they are things Miine deliberately does not do.

Where Miine is genuinely different

There is one tier, so there is nothing to discover later. Every styling control is available to every account from the first minute: fonts, button shape, button and text colour, side borders, shadows, full-page background images, two-colour gradients, patterns, and stickers you can drag anywhere on the page.

Saved design versions are unusual in this category. You can snapshot an entire look, try something completely different, and restore the old one if the experiment was worse — which makes redesigning your page low-risk rather than a thing you avoid.

The page is also quiet. There is no store tab, no tip prompt, no email capture modal and no upsell to a plan, because none of those exist. Whether that is an advantage depends entirely on whether you wanted them.

Where Beacons is the better choice

This is the longer list, and pretending otherwise would make this page worthless to the person reading it.

• Selling digital products — Beacons has a real storefront and checkout; Miine has none
• Taking tips or payments directly from your page
• Building an email or SMS list from the people who visit
• Pitching brands, where an auto-generated media kit is a genuine time-saver
• Deep analytics on audience, referrers and revenue over long periods
• AI assistance for writing and setting the page up
• Running your creator work as a business from one place rather than stitching tools together
• The reassurance of a funded company with a support team behind it

Miine is new and built by one person. That is exactly why the design controls are generous and why there is no commerce: a payments system is not something one person should run casually on behalf of other people's income.

The real question: a page, or a business

Most comparisons in this category argue over feature counts. The useful question here is narrower. If the page is where your income happens, you want the platform that handles money, and that is Beacons. If the page is a signpost that points people at work living somewhere else — a portfolio, a shop you already run, a label's streaming links, a booking form — then the commerce layer is weight you carry without using, and the thing you actually care about is whether the page looks like you.

That is the trade. Beacons is broader and will do more as your work grows. Miine is narrower, free, and puts all of its attention into appearance.

Switching

There is no import tool. Moving means recreating your links by hand, which takes a few minutes for a typical page of five to ten, then changing the URL in your social bios. If you sell through Beacons, note that nothing on the commerce side has anywhere to move to — those products and that checkout do not have an equivalent in Miine, and you would need to host them elsewhere.
