Pointerly is built for Amazon Associates first. Smart deep links open the app or correct marketplace; you manage multiple affiliate tags and see which links convert. Beacons is broader (storefronts, media kits); Pointerly is focused on what drives affiliate revenue: links, analytics, and optimization.
Creator Connect lets you apply to brand campaigns, get hired, and get paid—inside Pointerly. Beacons has its own monetization features, but Pointerly’s Creator Connect is built for the brand–creator workflow and tracks applications and payouts in one dashboard.
Discover and share deals, generate post ideas with AI, and run A/B tests on your links. Pointerly keeps link management, discovery, and content in one product so you don’t juggle multiple subscriptions.
Our free tier includes 50 links, real analytics, one bio page, and Creator Connect. Paid plans add more bio pages, custom domains, and team features. We’re transparent about limits so you know what you’re paying for.
Bring your content, your people, and your plans.
