A Beacons alternative that keeps your fees low

Less than a third of the 9% seller fee on Beacons' free plan.

To be fair
Where Beacons still wins
- Beacons has more tools around the page: media kits, brand-deal features, email marketing and an AI assistant.
- If brand partnerships are a big part of your income, Beacons covers more of that workflow.
- PageDrop is the better fit when you want a fast, simple page that sells and books, with lower fees from day one.

Is PageDrop cheaper than Beacons?
On fees, yes. PageDrop's free plan takes 3% of each sale, against 9% on Beacons' free plan, and PageDrop Pro removes the platform fee for $7 a month, where Beacons asks $30 a month. Beacons figures are from their website in September 2026.
Can clients book time with me on PageDrop?
Yes. Set your working hours and time zone, and visitors pick a free slot on your page. Choose Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, phone or in person, and both of you get a calendar invite. Bookings can be free or paid.
Can I build an email list?
Yes. Offer a free download in exchange for an email address, with an unticked consent box for updates. The list shows in your Sales, and on Pro you can export it as a CSV for your newsletter tool.
