Why streamers pick pulz.bio over Beacons
Beacons is built to run a creator business. pulz.bio is built to get people into your stream and sponsors into your inbox.
- A page that follows the stream. pulz.bio flips to LIVE when you go live and keeps your Twitch schedule and clips current. Beacons' help center and 2026 release notes describe none of the three.
- A media kit with the numbers stream sponsors ask for. Average and peak viewers, hours streamed and top categories from your own Twitch and Kick sessions, with a rate card and a protected inquiry inbox. Beacons connects Twitch, but its viewer stats aren't documented.
- No seller fees and no tiers. pulz.bio doesn't sell for you, so there's no cut to take, and every feature is free. Beacons takes 9% of sales on its free and Creator plans.
- OBS scenes and Twitch panels included. The theme on your page carries into your scenes and your panel set.
Switching from Beacons

- Continue with Twitch at pulz.bio/auth.That creates the account and connects Twitch in one step, and your username comes from your Twitch login.
- Add the links from your Beacons page.There's no importer for Beacons, so this part is by hand: paste a URL and the title and icon fill in.
- Swap the link in every bio in one pass.Twitch About and panels, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and Discord, so nothing points at the old page.
- Leave Beacons up for a few weeks.Links in old posts and printed QR codes keep working while your followers catch up.
pulz.bio vs Beacons: questions
Yes, if Twitch is your platform and you don't need a store. pulz.bio keeps live status, schedule and clips current automatically, builds a media kit from your own stream sessions and adds OBS tools. Beacons is the better pick if selling products or running email campaigns is the point.
Partly. Since August 2024 you can connect Twitch to Beacons' media kit and Follower Counts block. Average and peak viewers, a live badge, schedule sync and clips aren't documented. pulz.bio covers all of those.
Beacons is free with a 9% seller fee. Creator is $10/mo ($100 a year) and adds a custom domain. Creator Plus is $30/mo ($300 a year), removes the Beacons logo and drops seller fees to 0%. Creator Max is about $90 to $100/mo. pulz.bio is $0 with every feature included. It doesn't sell anything on your behalf, so there are no fees.
Yes, and it's one of its strengths: it updates daily on every plan, shows whether each stat is verified, estimated or entered by you, and includes a pricing calculator. pulz.bio's kit covers fewer platforms but is built from your Twitch and Kick stream sessions and ends in a protected sponsor inquiry inbox.
Linktree is simpler and removes its logo for less ($12 a month billed yearly, against $30 for Beacons Creator Plus). Beacons gives more on the free plan, including a media kit and AI tools, and is stronger for selling. For Twitch streamers, neither shows when you're live or syncs your schedule; pulz.bio does both, free.
No. pulz.bio links out to your store and doesn't process payments. If selling is your main goal, Beacons is the better fit.
Yes. Every feature is included, from the Twitch sync and media kit to the OBS widgets and analytics, and no card is needed. There is no paid tier today. pulz.bio never takes a cut of your earnings or sells your data.
Yes. A small "Join <your name> on pulz.bio" button sits at the bottom of every free page, and right now it can't be switched off. Everything above it - theme, fonts, background, layout - is yours.
