Two different kinds of "creator"
Beacons is built for the creator economy in the broad sense: people whose income comes from a mix of brand deals, affiliate links, digital products and audience. Its pricing page leads with AI credits, a daily-updating media kit, affiliate links, email sends and Instagram auto-DMs. For an influencer juggling partnerships, it's an impressive amount of kit for the money.
A fitness coach is usually a different business. Your income comes from clients: 1:1 sessions, online coaching, maybe a programme or two. Your bio link isn't there to impress a brand manager. It's there to make a stranger from Instagram think "this person can help me" and get in touch.
What FittBio focuses on
FittBio leaves out the influencer toolkit and puts everything into that one path:
- Links with featured image tiles and custom icons, so your consultation link or freebie is impossible to miss.
- A Loom intro and transformation gallery, so people meet you and see results before they're asked for anything.
- Lead forms that work like Typeform: one question at a time, answers in your dashboard.
- Free downloads gated by email, with the file emailed to the visitor and a separate marketing opt-in. See lead magnet ideas for fitness coaches.
- Analytics on profile views and which links get clicked most.
Beacons has versions of several of these (it has lead-capture forms and supports free products as lead magnets), so this isn't a "they can't" story. It's about how much else you have to wade through, and whether the page is shaped around a coaching enquiry.
Pricing and fees
Beacons has a free plan, then Creator at $10/mo, Creator Plus at $30/mo and Creator Max at $100/mo (cheaper billed annually). Its Free and Creator plans charge 9% seller fees; Creator Plus and Max charge 0%. FittBio has one plan: build free, then $7.99/mo once you publish.
What Beacons does that FittBio doesn't
Plenty, honestly: a free plan, media kits, invoicing, email campaigns and automations, Instagram DM automation, courses, memberships and custom domains. If you want all of that under one roof, Beacons is the stronger pick.
The verdict
Choose Beacons if you run a creator business with brand deals at its heart and want one platform for everything. Choose FittBio if you're a coach, you want fewer moving parts, and your bio link's job is to fill your client list. Personal trainer? Start at FittBio for personal trainers.
