Where yLnk pulls ahead of Beacons

Focused on what a single-owner account cannot do.

Real team roles

Beacons is single-owner. yLnk gives Owner, Admin, Editor, Analyst, and Support roles, invite approval with a code and OTP, and an audit log.

Campaign reporting across channels

One view spanning QR links, LinkFolio, forms, and blog posts — not per-surface stats you stitch together.

Branded subdomains across the suite

Map one purpose-specific hostname per product to a domain you control.

Built for growth

Keep the breadth. Add a team.

Shared ownership

Add teammates instead of sharing one login and password.

Clean offboarding

Remove a member and their access to workspace resources ends immediately.

Attribution

See which link, QR, or profile drove each response or order.

One-purpose hosts

links., blog., and shop. each serve a single product, which keeps routing predictable.

The honest part

Where Beacons is the better pick

  • A genuinely broad creator toolkit — media kit, email and SMS marketing, AI writing help — in one place.
  • A polished, creator-first interface with monetization built in from the start.
  • Strong for selling digital products and services without extra setup.
  • If you are one person, the single-account model is simpler.

Better for:solo creators monetizing an audience who want a media kit, email and SMS tools, and a store in one creator-first app, and do not need team roles or a URL shortener.
