SellFlow vs Beacons
Beacons is a broad creator toolkit — link in bio, media kit, brand-deal tools, email and AI features — with a store among the modules.
Beacons is the widest product in this comparison. Its bet is that a creator wants one login for everything: the link page, the media kit they send to brands, the email list, the invoices, the AI writing help, and a shop.
SellFlow is the narrow one. It does not have a media kit or a brand-deal marketplace and is not trying to. It is a storefront and an order system, and every feature in it exists to get an order from someone's Instagram bio into a fulfilled delivery.
If your income comes mainly from brand partnerships, breadth wins. If it comes from selling things to your audience, depth wins.

| Order follow-up | Order status updates go to the buyer on WhatsApp from your own number, pre-filled from the order. | Oriented around email and the creator CRM rather than a per-order messaging thread. |

| Where you run it | A mobile seller app. Add products, take photos and manage orders from the phone you already sell from. | Web dashboard, with a mobile app. |
| Your own domain | Included on the Business plan, connected to your storefront. | Offered on paid plans. |
| Currency and tax | Sell in your own currency with configurable VAT/GST. Built for sellers outside the US as a default, not an afterthought. | Depends on the connected payment provider. |
Pick SellFlow if…
- The store is the point, and you would rather it be good than surrounded by modules you do not use.
- You need stock, variants and order statuses that hold up past ten orders a week.
- You want order updates going out over WhatsApp from your own number.
- You want 0% taken from every sale, on every plan.
Pick Beacons if…
- Brand deals are a real part of your income and you want a media kit and outreach tools in the same place.
- You want an email list, invoicing and AI writing tools bundled rather than bought separately.
- Selling products is a side line, not the main event.
We would rather you land on the right tool than churn off ours in a month.
Questions people ask
Does SellFlow have a media kit or brand-deal tools?
No. SellFlow is a storefront and order system. If brand partnerships are a major income stream and you want those tools in the same product, Beacons covers ground SellFlow deliberately does not.
Can I use SellFlow alongside another link-in-bio tool?
Yes. Your SellFlow storefront is a normal URL, so you can link to it from Beacons, Linktree, or anywhere else, and keep using that page as your directory while SellFlow handles the selling.
Which is better for a small physical-product business?
SellFlow, on the axes that matter to that business: variants, stock counts, order status, WhatsApp updates, your own currency, and no percentage taken per sale.
