Where each one is the better fit
A comparison page that only praises its own product isn’t much use. Here is where Beacons is ahead, and what HYDLNK is for.
Where Beacons is ahead
- Beacons can sell you a domain and connect it for you. HYDLNK connects a domain you already own and does not sell domains.
- Beacons has a Shopify integration on all plans. HYDLNK has none; you add your products as links.
What HYDLNK is for
- Design control: every block and every theme option works the same on Free as on Pro, so a free page can look finished.
- A page that sits on your own domain at $60 a year, with no cut of your sales.
- Analytics you can take with you: CSV export on every plan, with 30 days of history on Free and a year on Pro.
