Comparison
Linktree vs Beacons: which to choose (and the third option)
Linktree or Beacons? An honest comparison of each tool's strengths and limits, and when an adaptive page like Korli makes more sense.
Same URL, different link order depending on Instagram/TikTok/YouTube. Configure once. Korli applies the rest automatically.
- Examples: TikTok visitor sees offer first, Instagram visitor sees proof first
- Common mistakes: too many links, same order for everyone, no tracking
- Setup: create page → set Smart Rules → measure clicks (30 seconds)
Proof demo: source switch → different order
Same URL, but a different rendering based on where the visitor comes from. Configure once. Korli applies the rest automatically.
Linktree's strengths
- Linktree has its own advantages depending on your use.
- Ideal if this criterion is your top priority.
- Assess it by your stage and goal.
Beacons's strengths
- Beacons shines on a different angle.
- Relevant for a different profile.
- Compare concretely, not on fame.
What they share: a static page
- Linktree and Beacons often show the same page to everyone.
- Yet an Instagram, TikTok or newsletter visitor has a different intent.
- An adaptive approach (Smart Rules) reorders links by source.
