Can I move my link-in-bio from Beacons to Cabana?

Yes. Claim your free name.cabanastudio.io link, pick a portfolio template, and add your work - it takes minutes. Your Cabana page is a landing page built to convert brand inquiries, with an intake form and media kit built in.

How much does Cabana cost compared to Beacons?

Cabana paid plans start at $15/mo (there is a free-forever tier) with a flat 3.5–6% fee per brand deal on paid plans (plus Stripe processing), and nothing charged to the brand. Because the fee is per brand deal rather than a cut of storefront sales, the two price very differently depending on whether your income is brand deals or product sales.

Where Cabana Studio and Beacons differ

Beacons is a link-in-bio and creator store, strongest at selling products and services through your link.

Cabana Studio is built around a different job: turning brand deals into a business. Every inquiry becomes a tracked deal, payments are approval-gated through Stripe, contracts are read for you, and your Growth Brain, the engine that learns your business, tells you what to do next each week - with a flat, low per-deal fee instead of a cut of your storefront.
