Oktio.app bio link
What the Oktio.app bio link brings
Signed statistics
The stats block shows the numbers of your Oktio Verified certificate, signed by Oktio.app. A brand taps them and checks the signature — no account needed.
From inquiry to signed report
A brand writes to you from the Work with me block and the inquiry lands in your brand CRM. You run the deal in a Collaboration and close it with a signed campaign report.
Free in full
Every template, block and statistic of the bio link is free on every plan. Oktio Pro adds automations, not bio link features.
No third-party trackers
Your page loads no third-party trackers. Embedded videos and music load only after a visitor taps them, and visits are counted without cookies or stored IP addresses.
Made in the EU
Oktio.app is run by a Czech company under the GDPR. For your e-mail sign-ups you are the controller and Oktio.app the processor, with a processing agreement in the Terms.
Next to your Instagram data
The bio link sits next to free Instagram analytics, unlimited media kits and Oktio Verified, in one account.
FAQ
Questions about Oktio.app and Beacons
Is Oktio.app a Beacons alternative?
For an Instagram creator focused on brand deals, yes: the bio link, media kits and Oktio Verified are free, and inquiries from your page land in your brand CRM. If you sell products, courses or bookings or need SMS, Beacons does things Oktio.app does not.
How is Oktio Verified different from “verified” labels?
As of October 2026, Beacons labels the numbers in its media kit as verified, estimated or entered by you. Oktio Verified signs the numbers from the official Instagram API with an Ed25519 key, and anyone can check the signature at oktio.app/v without an account. In an Oktio.app media kit PDF, what you write yourself, such as prices and contact, is marked as stated by the creator.
Beacons has free comment-to-DM replies. Does Oktio.app?
No. In Oktio.app, comment and DM auto-replies, the welcome message and DM funnels are part of Oktio Pro. If free auto-DMs matter most to you, Beacons may suit you better.
How do I move my link in bio from Beacons?
Sign in with Instagram and open the page import in the bio link editor. Open your Beacons page in your browser, select all, copy and paste it in: Oktio.app shows the links it found, you untick or reorder them and add them as a draft. Then publish the page and put its address in your Instagram bio. Our step-by-step guide walks you through it.
Can I sell products with Oktio.app?
No. Oktio.app has no store, courses or memberships and takes no payments for you. It helps you win brand deals with real numbers instead.
