Beacons acts as a payment processor and charges platform fees on every transaction. SettleQuik never processes a single payment — and never takes a cut. Your earnings go directly into your own accounts, every time.
Beacons routes payments through their own checkout. SettleQuik deep-links directly into Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, and 11+ more — so clients pay through apps you already use and fully control. No middleman, no new account required.
Beacons operates under standard TOS that can restrict adult and high-risk creators. SettleQuik was purpose-built for these industries — with Safe Harbor legal protection and DMCA registration baked in from day one.
Beacons is built for individual creators. SettleQuik's Agency plan gives managers one Command Center dashboard for an entire roster — with Shield Layer link health monitoring and a built-in migration tool to onboard creators fast.
