Beacons at a glance
Beacons positions itself as an all in one creator page. You can add link blocks, media, simple shops and email sign up forms. That makes it more flexible than a plain link list, and it can look more polished.
Its content rules apply to everything you link. Before linking to subscription platforms, read the current terms, because tools adjust them over time and a removed page means a dead bio link.
AllMyLinks at a glance
AllMyLinks is a straightforward list of links that became popular with subscription creators because it was relatively open to adult adjacent content. Setup takes minutes and it does one thing.
The same popularity is also its weak spot. Because many adult creators use the same domain, some social platforms treat links to it with extra caution. Creators report reduced reach or warnings when the link sits in a bio.
Side by side
| Point | Beacons | AllMyLinks | Own domain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Under an hour | Minutes | Days to weeks |
| Design freedom | Medium to high | Low | Complete |
| Adult adjacent links | Depends on current terms | Commonly used | Your own rules within the law |
| Platform risk | Shared domain | Shared domain, often flagged | Only your own page counts |
| Google visibility for your name | Limited | Limited | Strong with SEO |
| Visitor data | Basic statistics | Basic statistics | Full, privacy friendly analytics |
Which one fits which stage
- Just starting. A simple tool is enough. Choose the one whose rules clearly allow your links.
- Growing on social. If you start seeing warnings or weak clicks, the shared domain is a likely reason. This is the moment to plan your own page.
- Established brand. Your own website should be the only bio link. A directory profile such as SirenSpot can add a second, curated place to be found.
What a directory profile adds
A curated creators directory is different from a link tool. It groups creators by niche and platform, so visitors who browse the directory can discover you even if they never saw your social profiles.
The Creators Web Directory on SirenSpot is such a place. MyQuests Digital can help create and optimise your profile there, as a complement to your own website.
Moving on to your own domain
When you are ready, a custom creator website can take over every function of Beacons or AllMyLinks and add search visibility, consent based email sign ups and full statistics. Keep the old tool for a few weeks with a note pointing to the new address, then remove it.
How to choose in five minutes
If you are still undecided, answer these questions honestly. They usually settle it:
- Do you mainly need a list of links, or do you also want to sell small products and collect emails? Beacons offers more built in tools, AllMyLinks stays simpler.
- Do you link to adult platforms? Then check the tool's current terms before you build, and keep the public page itself safe for work.
- Do you plan to get press or rank on Google for your name within the next year? Then any tool page is a temporary step, and a page on your own domain should follow.
- Do you want to see where clicks come from in detail? Free plans show little; your own site with privacy friendly analytics shows the full picture.
Both tools are reasonable starting points. The mistake is staying on them out of habit once your income depends on that one link. When you reach that point, a custom creator website or a profile in the creators web directory gives you an address that belongs to you, and the Linktree alternatives page shows how to switch.
Frequently asked questions
Is Beacons or AllMyLinks better for OnlyFans?
AllMyLinks is simpler and widely used by subscription creators, Beacons is more flexible. The right choice depends on their current terms and how much design you need.
Why is AllMyLinks sometimes flagged on Instagram?
Many adult creators use the same domain, so platforms may treat it with caution. That risk affects everyone on the shared domain.
Can I use both tools at once?
You can, but it splits your statistics and confuses visitors. One clear destination is better.
What is the SirenSpot directory?
A curated directory of creators with links to all their platforms. It helps people discover you and complements your own website.
Will MyQuests Digital move my links for me?
We build the new website and can prepare the list of links to update. Changing the bios on your social accounts stays with you, since we do not manage accounts.
