More About vs Beacons: Which Link-in-Bio Is Best for Creators? (2026)

Beacons is a popular all-in-one creator toolkit with a link-in-bio, store, media kit and email. More About takes a different angle: a genuinely rich page that puts your media front and centre and lets admirers pay you directly, by card or crypto, with nothing held in the middle. Here is a fair comparison so you can choose.

1. The page itself

Beacons is block-based and business-tool heavy. More About treats the page as a mini-site: cinematic HD video backgrounds, a swipeable photo & video gallery with fullscreen zoom, 24-hour stories, and smart music links that fan out to every platform. If your work is visual or musical, that difference is huge.

2. Getting paid

This is the biggest gap. On More About, admirers pay you directly: by card into your own Square or in crypto to your own wallet. It is non-custodial, so no platform sits on your earnings. Beacons supports tips and a store, but does not offer direct crypto payouts, and money flows through its processor setup.

3. Fees

Creator platforms often layer a platform fee on top of processing, and the percentage matters over a year. More About keeps it lean, crypto has no platform cut on the payment, and cards carry only Square's standard processing with no platform fee on top. You keep 100% either way.

4. Privacy

More About shows supporters to you as anonymous handles, never their name, email or payment details, and signs you in with Brionic ID with no third-party ad trackers.

Which should you choose?

  • Choose Beacons if you want an all-in-one business suite (media kit, email, invoicing) and do not need crypto.
  • Choose More About if you want a media-rich page, built-in subscriptions, direct card and crypto payments, low fees and privacy.

Switching takes minutes. Create your page, add your media, connect Square and your wallets, and share one link. See also our More About vs Linktree comparison.
