dxd.link
[ GUIDES ]UPDATED 2026-07-20

A Beacons alternative when you want a site, not a storefront

Beacons is built for selling from your bio. dxd.link is built for a well-made site under one handle.


Different center of gravity

Beacons is strong when you want built-in store blocks, media kits, and email capture as the main story. dxd.link is strong when you want a real page you're proud of — tabs, drafts and publishing, scheduling, skins, and links you fully control.

When dxd.link wins

You outgrew a button stack but do not want to run a mini Shopify on your bio. You need Work vs Links tabs, timed drops, a consistent visual system, and a price that stays near $5/mo.
