band.place centralizes your identity in a professional home you own. Beacons centralizes links and broader creator tools.
Focuses on link aggregation and monetization for generic creators. It works as a temporary bio-link solution, but it lacks the depth required for a professional music career.
A complete career hub. We include simplified bio-link themes, but they live on a real, structured website where you own the SEO, the data, and the fan relationships.
