URX vs Beacons: which one for your app?
If your page needs to send people to your app, URX routes each phone to its store on the free plan. We found no app-store routing by device in Beacons' pages.
Beacons is an all-in-one creator platform: link-in-bio, store, email marketing, media kit and AI tools.
Choose URX if
you make an app or share one, and want a free link that sends each phone to its store, with a $9 plan that opens the app.
Choose Beacons instead if
you are a creator who wants a store, email marketing, an updating media kit and brand-deal tools in one place.
