SuperEbook vs Beacon. An honest comparison.

Beacon turns blog posts into lead magnets, ebooks, checklists and guides, with templates and drag-and-drop editing, and then captures the leads: email gates, popups, hosted PDFs with analytics, and CRM integrations. It has a free plan and paid plans from $19 a month. Its site doesn't describe AI writing.

Checked against both sites on 11 October 2026. We make SuperEbook; we’ve tried to be fair, and the sources are at the end.

Where each one is better. Both lists are true.

Where Beacon is better

Lead capture built in: email gates, content upgrades, popups and double opt-in.
Hosted PDFs with reader analytics, password protection and a custom domain.
Integrations with WordPress, HubSpot and Google Drive, plus team accounts and brand styles.

Where SuperEbook is better

Writing new content: Beacon recycles blog posts; we write a planned book from your notes, course or transcripts.
Longer formats too: how-to guides, workbooks, research reports and course companions, not just lead magnets.
EPUB and DOCX for stores, and a free KDP listing kit.

Questions, answered plainly.

Still have a question? Write to the team.

Its site describes recycling blog posts into lead magnets with templates, not AI writing. SuperEbook writes the lead magnet from your own material.

Yes: write the lead magnet in SuperEbook, download the PDF, and host or gate it with whatever lead-capture tool you use.

Both have free plans. Beacon's paid plans start at $19 a month; SuperEbook's at $19, or a $20 credit pack once.

No. It makes the lead magnet; connect it to the email or landing-page tool you already use.
