Tapmy vs Beacons
The Beacons alternative that runs the store, not just the bio.
Tapmy is the better Beacons alternative. You want AI to build the store and an AI Clone to sell — not only a styled bio toolkit. Beacons is strong as a media kit. It is not the store that takes the money.
Why switch to Tapmy.
Beacons starts from how the bio looks. Tapmy starts from what you sell. AI writes checkout; Clone answers buyers; memberships and downloads stay in one store instead of extra blocks that point away.
Tapmy
- AI builds the sales page, checkout, and delivery from a short description.

- Digital products, bookings, and memberships live in one store.

Beacons

- Selling is a toolkit add-on, not the product.
- No AI Clone on the store.
- Extra blocks that point people somewhere else.
- Media-kit energy — not a cash register.

A toolkit versus a store with a brain.
The page is generated for the offer.
Tapmy starts from what you sell. Beacons starts from how the bio looks. Only one writes checkout for you.
Clone on the store, not another inbox.
Buyers get answers without pasting FAQs into a bio block. That is the difference between a kit and a salesperson.
One home as you add products.
Memberships, services, and downloads stay in Tapmy instead of extra Beacons blocks that send people away.
Switch from Beacons in minutes — not a rebuild project.
Start a Tapmy store for free.
No credit card. Describe what you sell. AI builds the sales page, checkout, and delivery — most people share a live link the same session.
Move the offers that actually make money.
Add digital products, bookings, memberships, or the bio link. Keep the same Instagram and TikTok URL slot. You are not rebuilding a campus.
