Switching from Beacons
Currently on: Beacons · Creator $10 · Creator Plus $30 · Creator Max $90
Beacons and Bioflow are less similar than they look. Beacons sells a creator business stack — store, email marketing, media kit. Bioflow sells a link page and a loyalty program for local businesses.
Short answer
Switching from Beacons to Bioflow makes sense if you use Beacons purely as a link page and want a loyalty program. If you use its store, email marketing or media kit, do not switch — Bioflow has none of those and you would be downgrading.

What you give up
Listed because a switching guide that only sells the upside is how people end up back where they started, annoyed.
- Beacons' store, email marketing, media kit and income dashboard have no equivalent in Bioflow. This is the main reason not to switch.
- Your email list lives in Beacons. Export it before you leave; Bioflow will not import it.
- Beacons' free tier is more generous on features than Bioflow's, which caps at 10 links.

Frequently asked questions
Does Bioflow have a store like Beacons?
No. Bioflow has no digital product store, no email marketing and no media kit. If you rely on those, Beacons is the better tool and switching would cost you capability.
Why switch from Beacons at all?
One reason: the loyalty program. If you are a local business using Beacons as a link page and want digital stamp cards, Bioflow does both in one account and Beacons does not do loyalty at any tier.
Can I move my Beacons email subscribers?
Not into Bioflow — it has no email marketing to move them into. Export them from Beacons and take them to a dedicated email tool.
