The gap is widest on ChatGPT, where Linktree is clearly favoured: Beacons is recommended 20% of the time and Linktree 80%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.

Beacons is largely invisible in AI answers for link in bio tool — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
