## Free, with unlimited links

BuzzKit's Free plan costs $0 forever and needs no credit card. You get one page, unlimited links, every block type, 24 themes and a custom design editor. You can save up to 3 designs to reuse.

Pro is coming soon. It is not on sale yet and no price has been announced. It will remove ads and add up to 10 pages, teams, review and approval, scheduling, 2 years of analytics and 20 saved designs.

## No fees, because there is no checkout

Beacons charges a 9% fee on sales on its Free and Creator plans. BuzzKit does not sell products or host a checkout, so there is no sales fee to charge.

A product card on your page links out to the store you already use, such as Gumroad, Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or Shopify. The sale, delivery and customer support all happen there.

## Analytics without tracking cookies

BuzzKit shows views, clicks, referrers, devices and locations for the last 90 days. It measures them on the server with no tracking cookies and no raw IP addresses, and it excludes bots. Figures are approximate.

Meta, TikTok and GA4 pixels load only after the visitor consents. You also get UTM tagging and QR codes.

## Ads that stay out of the way

Free BuzzKit pages show clearly labelled ads beside the page on desktop and in a slim bar on mobile. They never appear between your links. Ads are how the Free plan is paid for.

Pro, coming soon, removes them.

## Drafts, undo and a safe way to publish

BuzzKit keeps edits in a draft until you press Publish. Undo, redo and per-item revert let you step back without losing live changes. You can lock a page with a password.

Free accounts can join other people's teams when invited. Pro, coming soon, adds your own teams with admin, editor, viewer and analyst roles, plus review and approval before changes go live.

## Your data stays yours

You can export all your data as JSON, and your subscribers as CSV, at any time. Subscribers are consent-based, and BuzzKit keeps the consent record with each one.
