Comparison
YourDirect vs Beacons
Beacons is a full creator hub with a page, buttons and click analytics. YourDirect gives you that same link page — and adds the layer Beacons doesn't: control over how the link behaves once a platform gets hold of it.
| What matters | YourDirect | Beacons |
|---|---|---|
| Escapes Instagram & TikTok in-app browsers | Yes | No |
| Decoy preview — survives platform link scans | Yes | No |
| Your own page with buttons & themes | Yes | Yes |
| In-app-browser escape analytics | Yes | No |
| Auto-updating latest-YouTube-video button | Yes | No |
| Click analytics | Yes | Yes |
The honest difference
Beacons is a solid link-in-bio tool — if all you need is a link page, it works. The difference is that YourDirect is built so your link survives where it actually gets shared: it escapes Instagram and TikTok in-app browsers and shows platforms a clean decoy preview. If your links keep breaking inside apps or your reach keeps getting throttled, that's the gap YourDirect closes.
