Beamer Pricing: Plans, Costs, and What You Get
Shayan, FounderUpdated 21 min read
Beamer's changelog plans start at $0 on Free for up to 1,000 monthly active users, $49 a month on Starter when billed annually or $59 a month on monthly billing for 5,000 monthly active users, $99 a month on Pro billed annually or $119 monthly for 10,000 monthly active users, and $249 a month on Scale billed annually or $299 monthly for 50,000 monthly active users. Paid plans include unlimited teammates and come with a 14-day free trial alongside the permanent Free tier.
The reason a real team's Beamer bill ends up much higher than $49 a month comes down to two things: how Beamer counts visitors, and how it splits its features into separate subscriptions. First, Beamer meters your account by Monthly Active Users, which its help documentation defines as any unique visitor who loads a page carrying the Beamer script or opens your standalone changelog page in a given month, even if they never click the widget or read an update. Pass your plan's monthly visitor cap and Beamer automatically adds $50 a month for every extra 5,000 visitors or pushes you to the next tier.
Second, Beamer sells Changelog, Feedback, and NPS as three separately billed products. If you want your changelog on a custom domain with emoji reactions, plus a feedback board where you can moderate ideas, keep internal notes, and email voters when a feature ships, you have to stack Changelog Pro at $99 to $119 a month with Feedback Pro at another $99 to $119 a month. That turns a $49 announcement widget into a $198 to $238 monthly bill before you add NPS surveys or traffic overages.
Below is how Beamer's Changelog tiers, the separate Feedback and NPS plans, the $50 visitor bundles, the Userflow merger, and the cancellation rules actually add up in 2026.
Beamer pricing plans
Beamer prices its core Changelog product per account rather than per seat. Every paid plan includes unlimited teammates, unlimited posts, and unlimited enabled languages, while your monthly bill scales with your monthly active visitors and the features you need to unlock.
| Plan | Annual billing | Monthly billing | Included MAUs | Teammates | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 1,000 | 1 | Embedded feed, standalone changelog page, basic analytics, Beamer watermark |
| Starter | $49 a month | $59 a month | 5,000 | Unlimited | Remove branding, boosted popups and banners, scheduled and pinned posts, 2,000 API requests |
| Pro | $99 a month | $119 a month | 10,000 | Unlimited | Custom domain, user reactions and comments, basic segmentation, 5,000 emails, Zapier, AI writer |
| Scale | $249 a month | $299 a month | 50,000 | Unlimited | Advanced AND/OR segmentation, 20,000 emails, 100,000 API requests, Segment, audit logs, staging site |
| Custom | Contact sales | Contact sales | Custom | Unlimited | Custom visitor volume, assisted onboarding, security review, account executive, invoice and ACH |
Paying annually saves $10 a month on Starter, $20 a month on Pro, and $50 a month on Scale, which works out to $588, $1,188, and $2,988 a year before visitor overages or extra modules. Between August 2024 and January 2025, Beamer removed the old $499 starting price from its Custom plan card, so teams above 50,000 monthly visitors either stack $50 visitor bundles onto Scale or request an enterprise quote.
Free: $0 for 1,000 monthly active users and 1 teammate
Beamer's Changelog Free plan doesn't expire after 14 days. For $0, one teammate can publish unlimited changelog posts to an in-app notification feed and a hosted standalone page, with basic view and click analytics in one language.
Three limits push most live software products off Free within weeks. First, the 1,000 monthly visitor ceiling counts everyone who loads a page where the Beamer script is installed, not just the users who click the bell icon to read an update. Second, the widget and standalone page carry a prominent "We are by Beamer" watermark link. Third, Free includes only a single teammate login, no post scheduling, no custom appearance settings, and zero API requests on the pricing table.
Starter: $49 annual or $59 monthly for 5,000 monthly active users
Starter is the entry paid plan for small products. It raises your traffic allowance to 5,000 monthly active users, removes the Beamer watermark from the changelog widget, unlocks unlimited teammates and languages, and includes 2,000 API requests a month. It also adds post scheduling with expiration dates, pinned posts, custom appearance styling, and boosted announcements so you can show updates as popups, topbars, snippets, or tooltips.
Where growing teams hit a wall on Starter is what Beamer holds back for Pro. On Starter, you can't host your standalone changelog on a custom domain like updates.yourcompany.com, you can't let users leave emoji reactions or comments on your posts, and you get zero announcement emails and no user segmentation.
Pro: $99 annual or $119 monthly for 10,000 monthly active users
Pro is the tier where most SaaS teams end up because it unlocks the features people expect when they buy a dedicated changelog tool. Moving from Starter to Pro doubles your included traffic to 10,000 monthly active users and adds a custom domain for your standalone feed, emoji reactions, private user comments with an admin inbox, basic user segmentation, and URL filtering so you can show specific updates on specific pages.
Pro is also the first plan that includes outbound release notifications: you get web push notifications, a custom email sender domain, and up to 5,000 changelog notification emails a month. On the workflow side, it unlocks Zapier, custom CSS, 20,000 monthly API requests, Beamer's AI Content Generator for writing posts from a short brief, and beta AI translation across your enabled languages.
Scale and Custom: $249 annual or $299 monthly for 50,000 monthly active users
Scale jumps to $249 a month on annual billing or $299 month-to-month and covers 50,000 monthly active users, 20,000 notification emails, and 100,000 API requests a month, plus a second Beamer account for staging and testing. Teams upgrade from Pro to Scale when they need advanced segmentation with custom user attributes and AND/OR rules, per-user activity timelines, single-user API notifications, native Segment integration, audit logs, or access to Beamer's SOC 2 Type II report under NDA.
If your security team requires SAML 2.0 single sign-on for staff logins, SAML is sold only on Scale and above as a separate paid add-on enabled through support, with no public price listed. Once your product passes 50,000 monthly visitors or needs custom email volumes, assisted installation, vendor security reviews, and invoice or ACH billing, Beamer routes you to a sales-scoped Custom contract.
Beamer Feedback, NPS, and overage pricing
Your Changelog plan is only one part of Beamer's pricing page. If you want customers to submit feature requests, vote on a roadmap, answer Net Promoter Score surveys, or load your widget past your monthly visitor cap, each of those sits on its own subscription or usage meter.
Beamer Feedback: $0 on Free, or $99 annual and $119 monthly on Pro
Beamer sells its feedback board and public roadmap as a standalone product called Beamer Feedback. You can mix and match free and paid tiers across products, so you can pair Feedback Free with Changelog Starter, or buy Feedback Pro on its own.
Feedback Free costs $0 and gives you a public Idea Portal, a public roadmap, public comments, and unlimited votes. However, almost every control a software team needs to run a customer-facing board is locked behind Feedback Pro, which costs $99 a month on annual billing or $119 a month on monthly billing. Note that the large add-on banner near the top of Beamer's pricing page advertises Feedback at $99 a month without mentioning that $99 requires an annual commitment in the detailed matrix below it.
Upgrading to Feedback Pro is required if you want to hold new ideas and comments for moderation before they appear publicly, create private ideas or a private roadmap, leave internal team notes on requests, or customize statuses and categories. Even more importantly, Beamer's help documentation specifies that automatic status-change emails to voters and submitters require Feedback Pro, along with priority scoring, user segmentation, and API, webhook, or Zapier access for feedback.
Beamer NPS: $0 for 500 surveys or $99 a month on Pro
Beamer's third product is Beamer NPS, which runs Net Promoter Score surveys inside your app or by email. NPS Free costs $0 for up to 500 in-app surveys a month, but it hides your NPS response data older than 90 days and does not support email surveys, shareable survey links, or segmentation.
NPS Pro costs $99 a month and raises the allowance to 2,000 surveys a month with unlimited response history, email and link distribution, user segmentation, multiple languages, customizable questions, and Zapier, API, and webhook integrations. Sending NPS emails from your own custom domain or running more than 2,000 surveys a month requires contacting sales for a custom quote.
Monthly active user and API overages: $50 per 5,000 visitors
Because Beamer's Changelog plans are metered by Monthly Active Users, the way Beamer counts a visitor directly determines your bill. According to Beamer's MAU calculation guide, a visitor counts toward your monthly limit the moment they load a page carrying the Beamer embed script or open your standalone changelog page, whether or not they ever open the notification center.
By default, Beamer tracks visitors with browser cookies. If the same customer logs into your web app on their work laptop, their home desktop, and their phone, cookie tracking counts that one person as three monthly active users unless your engineers pass a consistent user_id parameter in beamer_config. And if you drop the Beamer script onto your public marketing site or documentation pages instead of restricting it to signed-in app screens, anonymous marketing traffic will burn through a 5,000 or 10,000 visitor allowance in days.
When your traffic crosses your plan's ceiling, your widget stays live. After a 14-day overage review window, Beamer automatically adds a $50 monthly bundle for every extra 5,000 monthly active users and emails the account owner. That $50 increment creates an unusual pricing overlap at 10,000 monthly active users on month-to-month billing: staying on Starter at $59 plus one $50 visitor bundle totals $109 a month, which is $10 cheaper than upgrading to Changelog Pro at $119 a month, though you stay restricted to Starter's feature set without a custom domain, emoji reactions, or announcement emails.
API traffic has its own overage schedule on paid Changelog tiers. If your integrations exceed Starter's 2,000 monthly requests, Pro's 20,000 requests, or Scale's 100,000 requests, Beamer charges $49 for the first extra 100,000 requests and $19 for each additional block of 100,000 requests.
Beamer AI features: gated to Pro tiers at $99 to $119 a month
Beamer doesn't charge per AI resolution or sell separate AI credit packs, but every AI tool on the platform requires at least a Pro subscription on the corresponding product.
On Changelog Pro at $99 a month billed annually or $119 monthly, you get the AI Content Generator, which drafts changelog posts from a prompt you type, refines existing copy by tone and length, and stores your last 10 generations. Changelog Pro and above also include beta AI Translation for translating updates into the locales you have enabled.
On Feedback Pro at $99 annual or $119 monthly and NPS Pro at $99 monthly, Beamer offers open-beta AI Insights, which launched on January 22, 2026. For feedback boards, AI Insights clusters related feature requests into themes, filters out spam or low-quality posts, and highlights estimated revenue trends. For NPS surveys, it summarizes promoter, passive, and detractor themes over three to six months of responses. Beamer doesn't have an AI support agent to answer customer questions in chat or email, and its feedback portal relies on manual duplicate merging rather than real-time duplicate detection when a customer types a new idea.
What Beamer actually costs at 2,500, 10,000, and 50,000 monthly visitors
To see how visitor tiers and separate product modules stack up on a real invoice, the table below calculates what three SaaS teams pay on monthly billing and annual billing. The first column covers a team that only buys Beamer Changelog, the middle column covers a team that wants a custom domain and emoji reactions on its changelog plus a moderated feedback board that emails voters when features ship on Changelog Pro and Feedback Pro, and the last column adds NPS Pro for up to 2,000 monthly surveys.
| Monthly active visitors | Changelog only | Changelog Pro + Feedback Pro | Full stack with NPS Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2,500 visitors | $59 monthly, or $49 annual on Starter | $238 monthly, or $198 annual | $337 monthly, or $297 annual |
| 10,000 visitors | $109 Starter + bundle, or $99 annual Pro | $238 monthly, or $198 annual | $337 monthly, or $297 annual |
| 50,000 visitors | $299 monthly, or $249 annual on Scale | $418 monthly, or $348 annual | $517 monthly, or $447 annual |
At 2,500 monthly active visitors, a team that only wants an unbranded in-app popup feed can get by on Changelog Starter for $49 a month billed annually or $59 month-to-month. The jump happens the moment that same small team wants a custom domain like updates.yourcompany.com, emoji reactions on release notes, and a moderated feature request board that notifies voters when an idea ships. Because custom domains and reactions require Changelog Pro and moderation and status emails require Feedback Pro, that 2,500-visitor startup immediately pays $198 a month on annual billing or $238 a month on monthly billing, which comes to $2,376 to $2,856 a year.
At 10,000 monthly active visitors, you hit the ceiling of Changelog Pro's included traffic. With Changelog Pro and Feedback Pro combined, your bill stays at $198 a month annually or $238 monthly, or rises to $297 annual and $337 monthly if you turn on NPS Pro. If your product grows from 10,000 to 25,000 monthly active visitors, adding three $50 overage bundles adds $150 a month to your Changelog bill, making Scale at $249 annual or $299 monthly the cheaper base tier even if you don't need Scale's enterprise features.
By the time a SaaS app reaches 50,000 monthly active visitors, running Beamer's changelog and feedback board together on Scale and Feedback Pro costs $348 a month on annual billing or $418 a month month-to-month, or $4,176 to $5,016 a year, and adding NPS Pro pushes the total past $5,300 a year. If your company runs two separate products that need independent changelogs, Beamer also bills each account as a separate subscription. On G2, where Beamer averages 4.7 out of 5 across 21 reviews, a May 2026 reviewer summed up the frustration with Beamer's multi-tier, multi-add-on structure simply as "weird pricing."

What changed after the Userflow merger in 2024 through 2026
If you've followed Beamer over the past couple of years, you've probably noticed Userflow's name showing up across Beamer's documentation and login links.
In August 2023, Beamer announced a growth investment of more than $20 million from Camber Partners. Six months later, on February 7, 2024, Beamer and the user onboarding platform Userflow announced that they were combining into a single organization. Today, both products continue to sell under their own names with separate subscriptions, while sharing back-end infrastructure: Beamer's help center now lives on help.userflow.com, its careers page redirects to Userflow, and both products share a joint security trust center under Beamer HoldCo. If you want Userflow's interactive onboarding guides alongside Beamer's changelog, Userflow is linked from Beamer's pricing page as a separate purchase starting at its own tier rates.
On Beamer's pricing page, the core Starter at $49 or $59, Pro at $99 or $119, and Scale at $249 or $299 Changelog prices and MAU allowances have remained unchanged from 2024 through 2026. Three quieter packaging changes happened along the way: Beamer launched its standalone Feedback module in January 2024, removed the published $499 starting floor from the Custom plan card between August 2024 and January 2025, and dropped the old $199 NPS Scale tier from the public pricing table. Meanwhile, public releases on Beamer's own changelog have slowed noticeably: between January 23, 2026 and October 2026, zero new public entries were posted after the January 22, 2026 open-beta launch of AI Insights.
Contract terms and renewal fine print
Four rules in Beamer's terms of service and billing documentation are worth reading before you install the script or commit to an annual plan:
- Cancel and downgrade controls can lock while your MAUs exceed the lower tier. According to Beamer's downgrade and billing guide updated September 21, 2026, self-serve cancellation and downgrade buttons in the dashboard can be disabled whenever your current Monthly Active Users are higher than the limit of the lower plan. To step down or cancel when you're over that threshold, you have to reduce your visitor count first by removing the script, or reach out to support in chat with your Product ID.
- No refunds and no mid-term price protection in the public terms. Subscriptions bill in advance and auto-renew unless canceled before the current billing cycle ends. Downgrades take effect at the end of your term with no prorated refunds or credits, and switching from annual to monthly billing requires contacting support chat. Beamer's public terms of service also permit the company to adjust pricing at any time without prior notice, without an explicit mid-term price lock.
- No dashboard export button for changelog posts. Beamer doesn't offer a one-click CSV, JSON, or Markdown export in the dashboard for your changelog history, images, or post comments. Beamer's export documentation directs teams to fetch their posts as JSON through the REST API, where images are returned only as external URLs and every call counts against your plan's monthly API allowance.
- Deleting your data requires a support chat request. Canceling your subscription stops renewal at the end of your term, but your account and content stay on Beamer's servers for an unspecified retention window. To permanently delete an account, an admin must message Beamer support in chat with the account's Product ID, after which the deletion guide states that records are permanently erased within seven days.
Is Beamer worth it?
Beamer is worth paying for when your primary job is running high-visibility in-app marketing announcements across a large, international user base. If you have a product marketing team that wants to push popups, topbars, and visual tooltips into your app, translate updates across more than 80 documented languages, and filter announcements using custom user attributes synced from Segment or HubSpot on the Scale plan, Beamer is built for that workflow. Reviewers on G2 and Capterra consistently praise how quickly non-technical teammates can spin up an announcement feed and keep users informed without relying solely on email newsletters.
For most software and SaaS teams, the math breaks down because a changelog is only the final step of the product loop.
Before you have a release note to publish, customers are asking questions in support, submitting feature requests, and voting on what you should build next. In Beamer, turning on a moderated feedback board that emails voters when their request ships requires buying a second $99 to $119 monthly subscription on top of your Changelog plan, while every visitor who loads a page with your widget pushes your MAU meter closer to the next $50 bundle or $249 Scale tier. And because Beamer has no live chat or shared support inbox, when a customer reads your announcement and wants to report a bug or ask how a new setting works, you still have to pay for a separate tool like Intercom to have the conversation.
Beamer alternatives
UserJot
We built UserJot for software and SaaS teams that want their changelog, feedback board, public roadmap, in-app widget, and customer support inbox in one connected workspace, for a flat $0, $29, or $59 a month with no monthly visitor meter.
Instead of treating announcements as an isolated broadcast tool, UserJot connects the entire feedback loop in one place. Customers submit ideas and vote on your feedback board or inside your app widget, with embedding search automatically surfacing matching requests as they type to prevent duplicates. When you change a request's status to Planned or In Progress, it moves onto your public roadmap automatically. When you ship the work and mark the request Completed, UserJot automatically emails everyone who posted, voted, or commented on it. Then, when you open the changelog editor, Juno reads the requests you completed since your last post and drafts the release note for you, with the shipped requests linked right underneath the update. If you turn on Conversations, the exact same in-app widget also gives you live chat and forwarded support email, where Juno answers routine questions from your docs and files feature requests onto your board once the customer confirms.
Because UserJot charges a flat workspace price with unlimited visitors, end users, posts, and votes on every plan, growing your web traffic never triggers a surprise $50 visitor bundle or forces you onto a $249 tier. You can see a full feature-by-feature breakdown in our Beamer alternative guide.
| Monthly active visitors | Beamer Changelog Pro + Feedback Pro | UserJot |
|---|---|---|
| 2,500 visitors | $198 annual, or $238 monthly | $0 or $29 |
| 10,000 visitors | $198 annual, or $238 monthly | $29 |
| 50,000 visitors | $348 annual, or $418 monthly | $29 or $59 |
The Free plan is permanent and covers up to three teammates with a changelog, two feedback boards, a public roadmap, the in-app widget, live chat, support email, and Juno, with no cap on monthly visitors or end users. Starter at $29 a month covers up to 100 teammates and adds a custom domain, up to five boards including private boards, and post moderation. Guest posting without an account is on every plan. Our REST API and MCP server are on every plan, including Free. Pro at $59 a month adds JWT single sign-on, public identity masking, and removes the UserJot badge. Conversations is currently in beta and free on every plan while in beta.
We also keep a clear boundary around what UserJot doesn't build: we don't offer NPS survey campaigns, emoji reactions or comments on changelog posts, Zapier or Segment integrations, or 80-language feed translations, as our board supports 12 languages and our automatic notification emails go out when a linked request's status changes rather than as a standalone changelog newsletter blast. If you're a product marketing team running segmented promotional popups and quarterly NPS surveys across thirty locales, Beamer is built for that job. If you're a software team that wants a changelog, feedback board, roadmap, and support inbox at one flat price regardless of your traffic, you can set up UserJot in a few minutes.
Other changelog and feedback tools to compare
If you're comparing Beamer against other changelog and feedback tools, here is how the main alternatives structure their plans and limits:
Headway offers a permanent Free plan and a single paid Pro tier at $29 a month, which unlocks a custom domain, white-labeling, scheduled publishing, private changelog links, and team management. Unlike Beamer, Headway is strictly a minimalist changelog page and widget with no feedback board, no public roadmap, and no NPS surveys, and its own public changelog has not had a new entry since June 2023. See our Headway alternative comparison.
Sleekplan bundles a feedback board, roadmap, changelog, and CSAT and NPS surveys into one widget, priced per workspace at $0 on Indie, $15 a month on Starter or $13 billed annually, and $45 a month on Business or $38 billed annually. While tracked voters are unlimited on every tier, Sleekplan meters monthly announcement views, popup deliveries, email sends, and AI credits, and locks custom domains, branding removal, and scheduled changelog posts behind the $45 Business plan. See our Sleekplan alternative comparison.
Frill combines ideas, a public roadmap, announcements, and surveys starting at $25 a month on Startup or $22 billed annually for up to 50 active ideas, and $49 a month on Business or $44 billed annually for unlimited active ideas, with unlimited teammates and tracked users. However, board privacy, unlimited surveys, and white-labeling require paid add-ons or upgrading to the $149 a month Growth plan, which is $136 billed annually, and Frill doesn't list a permanent free plan on its pricing grid. See our Frill alternative comparison.
Canny includes a changelog alongside its feedback boards and roadmap on every plan, starting with a Free tier capped at 25 tracked users and a Pro plan that starts at $99 a month or $79 billed annually for 100 tracked users. Because Canny bills on a sliding scale by the number of users who post, vote, or comment, an active product with 1,000 tracked users pays $661 a month on monthly billing or $529 a month billed annually, and removing Canny branding requires a custom Business contract. See Canny pricing and our Canny alternative guide.
LaunchNotes is built for enterprise product marketing teams that run releases as coordinated campaigns, starting at $249 a month billed annually, or $2,988 a year, on its Growth plan for one page, two portal seats, one custom domain, and 5,000 monthly email sends, with no monthly billing option and no free plan. SAML single sign-on, full white-labeling, and extra seats require a custom annual Premium quote. See our LaunchNotes alternative comparison.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Beamer cost per month?
Beamer's Changelog plans cost $0 on Free for up to 1,000 monthly active users, $49 a month billed annually or $59 monthly on Starter for 5,000 monthly active users, $99 annual or $119 monthly on Pro for 10,000 monthly active users, and $249 annual or $299 monthly on Scale for 50,000 monthly active users. If you also want a moderated feedback board or more than 500 monthly NPS surveys, Feedback Pro adds $99 annual or $119 monthly and NPS Pro adds $99 a month.
How does Beamer calculate monthly active users?
Beamer counts a Monthly Active User whenever a unique visitor loads a page carrying the Beamer script or visits your standalone changelog page in a calendar month, even if they never click the widget or read an announcement. Because default tracking uses browser cookies, one customer visiting from two devices can count as two MAUs unless you pass a consistent user_id in beamer_config.
Is Beamer's feedback board included in the changelog price?
No, Beamer sells Changelog, Feedback, and NPS as three separate subscriptions that you can mix and match. Feedback Free gives you a public idea portal and roadmap with unlimited votes for $0, while moderation, private boards, internal notes, and automatic status-change emails to voters require Feedback Pro at $99 a month billed annually or $119 a month billed monthly.
Does Beamer have a free plan?
Yes, Beamer offers permanent Free plans across all three modules: Changelog Free covers 1,000 monthly active users and 1 teammate with a Beamer watermark, Feedback Free covers public ideas and voting, and NPS Free covers up to 500 in-app surveys a month with 90-day history. Paid tiers also come with a 14-day free trial.
Why are emoji reactions and custom domains missing on Starter?
Beamer uses its $49 Starter plan primarily to remove the Beamer watermark, raise the visitor cap to 5,000 MAUs, and unlock boosted popup announcements. Hosting your standalone changelog on a custom domain, collecting user reactions and comments, segmenting audiences, and sending up to 5,000 notification emails all require upgrading to Changelog Pro at $99 a month billed annually or $119 monthly.
What happens if I exceed my Beamer visitor limit?
Your widget and standalone page stay live if you go over your plan's monthly visitor cap. After a 14-day review grace window, Beamer automatically bills $50 a month for every additional bundle of 5,000 monthly active users and notifies the account owner by email.
Who owns Beamer, and is it part of Userflow?
Beamer's legal contracting entity is Joincube Inc., doing business as Beamer. After raising a $20 million+ growth investment from Camber Partners in August 2023, Beamer and the user onboarding platform Userflow announced their merger in February 2024; today they share a help center domain and security trust center while selling their products as separate subscriptions.
How do I cancel Beamer and export my changelog posts?
You can cancel under Settings, then Billing, to stop auto-renewal at the end of your current term, though Beamer's billing guide notes that cancel and downgrade controls can be disabled while your monthly active users exceed the lower plan's limit. Because Beamer has no dashboard export button for changelog posts, export your posts as JSON through the REST API before your term ends, and message support in chat with your Product ID if you want your account permanently deleted.
