Beamer Pricing at a Glance (2026)

Beamer sells three products that are billed separately: Changelog, Feedback and NPS. Each has a Free plan and paid plans you can mix and match. Your Changelog plan sets your monthly active user (MAU) allowance.

The Changelog plans as of October 2026, from the plan cards and feature grid:

Beamer says yearly billing gets you "up to two months for free". On list prices, that saves $120 a year on Starter, $240 on Pro and $600 on Scale. First-time users can start a 14-day free trial of a paid plan.

Beamer Feedback and NPS Pricing

Feedback and NPS are not part of any Changelog plan. Each is its own subscription with a Free and a Pro plan. Beamer Feedback includes idea voting and a public roadmap even on its Free plan.

Beamer Feedback Pricing

As of October 2026, Feedback Pro costs $119 a month billed monthly or $99 a month billed yearly.

The Priority Score is built from two numbers you enter per idea: effort in hours and expected revenue in dollars. Beamer runs its own public Ideas portal on this product, sorted by votes, with statuses such as Under review, In progress and Completed (October 2026).

Beamer NPS Pricing

As of October 2026, NPS Pro costs $99 a month. Beamer shows no yearly NPS price.

Beamer counts one survey per user it is sent to, answered or not. At the limit, surveys stop until next month. The article also mentions Scale and Enterprise NPS plans not on the pricing page, so ask Beamer if 2,000 is not enough.

How Beamer's MAU Pricing Works

What Counts as a Monthly Active User

Beamer counts unique users who load any page with its script, or the standalone page, in a month. They do not have to open the changelog. With a user_id, one person counts once across devices. Without it, Beamer uses a cookie, so one person on two browsers can count twice.

What Happens When You Go Over

Beamer adds MAU bundles automatically at $50 a month per 5,000 extra MAUs and emails the account owner. A 14-day grace period lets you judge a spike. The widget keeps running.

The catches: bundles are not removed when usage drops (support removes them at period end, with no refund). And while you are over a lower plan's limit, you cannot downgrade to it or cancel from billing settings.

How to Keep the MAU Count Down

A checklist built from Beamer's advice on reducing MAUs:

• Load the script only on pages behind login.
• Send a user_id, so one person on three devices counts once.
• Keep automated tests and uptime monitors off pages with the script.
• Check the MAU figure after any launch, before the grace period ends.

What Beamer Really Costs: Worked Examples

Assumptions: list prices from getbeamer.com/pricing as of October 2026, yearly billing where shown (NPS Pro shows monthly only), no discounts, and overage at $50 a month per 5,000 MAUs.

Note the crossover. Pro plus two bundles covers 20,000 MAUs. A third bundle costs as much as Scale on yearly billing, and Scale includes 50,000. So past 20,000 MAUs on Pro, price Scale before the bundles pile up.

Add-ons matter as much as MAUs: the Small SaaS row comes to $10,692 over three years at list prices.

Beamer's Free Plans: What You Get and the Catch

Is Beamer free? Yes. Changelog Free gives 1,000 MAUs and one teammate, with a watermark and no scheduling or boosted announcements. Feedback Free is public only. NPS Free sends up to 500 in-app surveys a month.

The catch is the 1,000-MAU ceiling, which counts every visitor to a page with the script. If you may outgrow it, use the 14-day trial to check real usage.

Billing Rules to Know Before You Sign

These rules sit in a dozen help articles. As of October 2026:

• No refunds or prorations. Cancellations and downgrades take effect at term end, with no refund of current or prior payments. The invoices article says support will look at a refund request.
• Some changes need a person. Yearly to monthly, removing MAU bundles or the email add-on, and custom-plan changes go through the dashboard chat.
• Payment. Monthly plans take cards. Yearly plans also take PayPal, ACH or bank transfer (USA and Europe only). The grid lists bank transfer and ACH under Custom only, so confirm first.
• Unpaid invoices. Nothing is restricted for 14 days. Then you cannot publish or edit in that product, though the widget keeps working. After 30 days the account moves to Free.
• Contract terms. The Terms of Service allow a late penalty of 1% per day overdue, and say pricing can change at any time without prior notice.
• API overage. Extra requests cost $49 for the first extra 100,000 and $19 per further 100,000.
• One bill per changelog. Separate changelogs need separate accounts, each billed on its own, and invoices cannot be combined.
• Export goes through the API. Posts come out only as JSON through the API, without images, and count toward your API limit, per the export guide. Changelog Free has an API limit of 0.

Beamer and Userflow: What the Merger Means for Buyers

Beamer announced its merger with Userflow on February 7, 2024, and its help center now lives at help.userflow.com/beamer. User Onboarding (product tours, checklists, a resource center and an AI assistant) is Userflow's product, priced on the Userflow pricing page. No Beamer plan includes it, and Changelog, Feedback and NPS are still billed per product.

Beamer Review: What It Does Well

• A full in-app announcement kit. The Beamer tool pairs a feed with pop-ups, top bars, snippets and tooltips from Starter, and push from Pro.
• Free plans and open seats. Three Free plans, and unlimited teammates on paid Changelog plans.
• Clear overage rules. A published rate, a 14-day grace period, and no shutdown.
• Targeting and AI help. Pro adds segmentation and dynamic content. The AI Content Generator drafts posts on Changelog Pro, Scale and Custom, and AI Translation is in beta on Pro and up.
• Integrations. Zapier, API and webhooks, Segment on Scale, and a two-way HubSpot sync for selected Scale, Custom and NPS Scale customers.
• One view of the data. A Dashboard for changelog, NPS and feedback data launched on August 25, 2025.

Beamer Cons: Where the Price and the Plan Rules Hurt

• Three subscriptions. Changelog, Beamer Feedback and Beamer NPS on Pro add up to $297 a month.
• MAUs count visitors, not readers, and cookies can count one person twice.
• Sticky bundles. They stay on after usage drops, and you cannot downgrade or cancel while over a lower plan's limit.
• No refunds or prorations, and several billing changes need a support chat.
• Feedback Free is public only. Private ideas, moderation, custom statuses, notes and the Priority Score need Pro.
• A quiet public changelog. Beamer's public changelog lists months through January 2026 and none after (checked October 25, 2026), though help articles were updated as recently as October 16, 2026. Ask Beamer about its 2026 plans.

How These Tools Were Compared

Prices and features were checked on Beamer's pricing page on October 25, 2026, with 19 help center articles and the Terms of Service. Beamer's public changelog, Ideas portal and roadmap served as live examples. No account or trial was used, so details come from Beamer's public pages. Each alternative was checked on its own site the same day.

Who Should Pay for Beamer (and Who Should Not)

Good fit: teams that need logged-in users to notice releases inside the app (pop-ups, top bars, push, email). Also teams that need segmentation, several languages, AI writing help or Zapier (Pro and up), Segment (Scale), or HubSpot (selected Scale and Custom customers). A predictable user base keeps the bill easy to forecast.

Weaker fit: products that need the script on busy public pages, teams that mainly need a voting board (Feedback Pro on top of a Changelog plan), and very small teams that do not want three subscriptions and MAU bands.

Beamer Alternatives Worth Pricing

If one of Beamer's three jobs is your main one, a tool built around it may fit better.

1. AnnounceKit: Best for a Changelog With Mobile SDKs

AnnounceKit is the closest match to the Beamer changelog. Its site lists a changelog, 10+ in-app widget types, feature voting and NPS, delivery by email, Slack and RSS, and native SDKs for iOS, Android and Flutter.

2. Canny: Best for Feature Voting Tied to Revenue

Canny centers on a portal where customers submit and vote on requests and get status updates. It ties requests to revenue, and its AI Autopilot pulls feedback from tools like Intercom, Slack and Gong.

3. Featurebase: Best for Feedback, Changelog and Support Together

Featurebase combines a voting portal, a public roadmap and a changelog with in-app widgets. It also sells support tools, including an AI support agent and a help center.

4. Tiny Team Feedback: Best for Small Teams That Want One Module Instead of Three Subscriptions

Tiny Team's Feedback module puts boards, a roadmap, a changelog and surveys in one web module for small teams. It is a one-time purchase for your whole organization, with no subscription, no per-seat fees and no per-voter or MAU-based fees. Its free trial needs no credit card, and nothing is charged automatically.

• As many boards as you need, private to your team or public. Customers post, vote and comment after verifying their email.
• Up to 20 custom statuses per board, internal notes, and a drag-and-drop roadmap with a public view.
• A changelog with categories, scheduling and subscriber emails. Customers who posted or voted get status-change emails.
• NPS, CSAT, customer effort and product-market fit surveys, by portal link or a website popup targeted by page path.
• A branded portal on one custom subdomain, plus inline embeds of a board, the roadmap or the changelog.

Pros: one purchase covers boards, roadmap, changelog and surveys, with no fees tied to users or voters. Surveys go beyond NPS to CSAT, customer effort and product-market fit.

Where it falls short: no AI of any kind, no integrations, webhooks or public API, and no SSO or identification of logged-in users. There is no moderation queue and no customers-only board. Surveys have no email distribution, branching or NPS trends. With no CSV import, moving from Beamer means re-entering posts by hand. Beamer is the better pick when targeted in-app announcements, segmentation, languages, AI or integrations matter.

If a voting board, a roadmap, a changelog and surveys in one module cover what your team needs, Tiny Team Feedback is worth a look. See current prices, or create a free workspace and start the Feedback trial from Modules & Billing when you're ready.

Final Verdict

Beamer is one of the most complete tools for announcing releases inside an app. The Changelog ladder is fair for logged-in products under 10,000 MAUs, and the overage rate is published.

It gets expensive once you stack Feedback Pro, NPS Pro and MAU bundles, and the billing rules make that stack hard to unwind. Small teams that mainly want a board, roadmap, changelog and surveys should price a one-time option before they commit.
