The free version of Beacon supports most Ark: Survival Ascended features, with a 'Beacon Omni for Ark: Survival Ascended' license available to unlock all features.
Beacon does a lot for free. Loot drops, server control, file sharing, and more. But when it's time to get into more advanced configuration like crafting costs and player experience, then it's time to upgrade to Beacon Omni.
All users of Beacon can use all features, however Omni-only config types will not be included in generated Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini files.

Beacon's support for Palworld requires a 'Beacon Omni for Palworld' license.
Palworld is currently Early Access. This game is very new and its future is uncertain. It could grow to support hundreds of config options, die from legal issues, or somewhere in between. Features and pricing subject to change. Beacon's refund policy remains in effect for Palworld.
Palworld has a small number of options that are not yet complex, so Beacon has just one Palworld editor: General Settings. This is an Omni-exclusive editor in Palworld.
