Beamer Pricing: Plans, Costs, and What You Get

Beamer is a changelog and in-app announcement tool. It helps you notify users about product updates, new features, and company news through widgets, pop-ups, and email notifications.

Unlike feedback tools, Beamer is focused on one-way communication: broadcasting updates to your users. It does this well, but the pricing scales with your monthly visitors, which can get expensive as you grow.

Here’s what Beamer actually costs and what you get at each tier.

Beamer Pricing Overview

Beamer uses visitor-based pricing. The more monthly visitors interact with your Beamer widget, the higher your tier needs to be.

Plan	Monthly Price (Annual)	Monthly Price (Monthly)	Visitors	Teammates
Free	$0	$0	1,000	1
Starter	$49	$59	10,000	3
Pro	$99	$119	30,000	5
Scale	$249	$299	100,000	10
Custom	$499+	Contact sales	250,000+	Unlimited

Annual billing saves about 17% compared to monthly. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial.

How Beamer Pricing Works

Beamer charges based on monthly visitors, not users or seats. This is important to understand:

What counts as a visitor:

• Anyone who loads a page with your Beamer widget
• Returning visitors count once per month
• Anonymous and logged-in users both count

How visitor limits work:

• If you exceed your limit, you’ll be prompted to upgrade
• Overages may result in additional fees
• You can monitor usage in your dashboard

The scaling problem:

• As your product grows, your Beamer bill grows too
• A SaaS with 50,000 active users needs at least the Scale plan ($249/month)
• Enterprise products with 200,000+ visitors need custom pricing

This is different from flat-rate tools where you pay the same regardless of growth.

The Free Plan

Beamer’s free plan is genuinely free with no time limit. It’s useful for testing or very small products.

What’s included:

• Up to 1,000 monthly visitors
• 1 teammate
• 1 language
• Basic changelog functionality
• Basic analytics
• Standalone changelog page

What’s not included:

• Custom branding (Beamer watermark appears)
• User reactions
• Segmentation
• Multiple languages
• NPS surveys
• Priority support

Reality check: 1,000 visitors is quite limited. Most products with any traction will outgrow this quickly. The Beamer branding on the free plan also looks unprofessional for customer-facing use.

Paid Plans: What You Get

Starter Plan ($49/month)

The entry-level paid plan for small teams.

What’s included:

• 10,000 monthly visitors
• 3 teammates
• Remove Beamer branding
• Custom colors and styling
• Basic segmentation
• Email support
• Standalone changelog page
• Basic integrations

What’s not included:

• User reactions (emoji feedback)
• Advanced segmentation
• NPS surveys
• Priority support
• Advanced analytics

Reality check: $49/month for a changelog tool is reasonable, but you’re missing reactions and NPS surveys that many teams want. Those require Pro.

Pro Plan ($99/month)

The mid-tier option with engagement features.

What’s included:

• 30,000 monthly visitors
• 5 teammates
• Everything in Starter
• User reactions (emoji feedback)
• NPS surveys
• Boosted announcements
• Advanced segmentation
• Priority support
• A/B testing
• Advanced analytics

What’s not included:

• 100,000+ visitor support
• Unlimited teammates
• Enterprise security features
• Custom contracts

Reality check: Pro is where Beamer gets useful. Reactions and NPS are valuable features. But at $99/month, you’re paying enterprise-level pricing for an announcement tool.

Scale Plan ($249/month)

For larger products with significant traffic.

What’s included:

• 100,000 monthly visitors
• 10 teammates
• Everything in Pro
• Advanced analytics
• Custom integrations
• Account manager
• API access

Reality check: At $249/month ($2,988/year) for announcements, this is a significant budget item. Compare that to tools that include feedback, roadmaps, and changelogs together.

Custom Plan ($499+/month)

For enterprise with high traffic or specific requirements.

What’s included:

• 250,000+ monthly visitors
• Unlimited teammates
• Enterprise SSO
• Custom contracts
• Dedicated support
• SLA guarantees
• Custom integrations

Cost: Starts at $499/month but varies based on traffic and requirements. Contact sales for a quote.

Feature Comparison by Plan

One thing to watch: Beamer gates several useful features behind higher tiers.

Feature	Free	Starter	Pro	Scale
Remove branding	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
User reactions	No	No	Yes	Yes
NPS surveys	No	No	Yes	Yes
A/B testing	No	No	Yes	Yes
Advanced segmentation	No	No	Yes	Yes
Boosted announcements	No	No	Yes	Yes
API access	No	No	No	Yes

The lack of reactions on Starter is notable. Getting feedback on announcements (even simple emoji reactions) requires the $99/month Pro plan.

Hidden Costs and Considerations

Visitor Overages

If you exceed your visitor limit, Beamer will prompt you to upgrade. There’s no published overage rate, so costs can be unpredictable if your traffic spikes.

Teammate Limits

Each plan has teammate limits (1, 3, 5, 10). If you need more team members, you’ll need a higher tier even if your visitor count is low.

The Userflow Factor

Beamer acquired Userflow (an onboarding tool) in 2024. If you want both changelog and onboarding features, you may need separate subscriptions or wait for integrated pricing.

Annual vs. Monthly

The price difference between annual and monthly billing is significant:

• Starter: $49/mo (annual) vs $59/mo (monthly) = $120/year savings
• Pro: $99/mo (annual) vs $119/mo (monthly) = $240/year savings
• Scale: $249/mo (annual) vs $299/mo (monthly) = $600/year savings

Annual billing locks you in but saves 17%.

Is Beamer Worth the Cost?

Beamer makes sense if:

• Your primary need is announcing updates to users
• You want polished, professional-looking changelogs
• You need in-app notifications and pop-ups
• You value engagement features like reactions and NPS
• You’re okay paying specifically for one-way communication

Beamer is probably overkill if:

• You also need to collect feedback from users
• You want users to vote on feature requests
• You need a public roadmap
• Your budget is tight for a single-purpose tool
• You want the full feedback loop in one platform

Beamer vs. Alternatives

Here’s how Beamer compares to other options:

Tool	Starting Price	Free Plan	Feedback Boards	Roadmap	Changelog
Beamer	$49/mo	Yes (1K visitors)	No	Basic	Yes
UserJot	$29/mo	Yes (unlimited)	Yes	Yes	Yes
Canny	$24/mo	Yes (25 users)	Yes	Yes	Yes
LaunchNotes	$49/mo	No	Limited	No	Yes
Headway	$29/mo	Yes	No	No	Yes

The key difference: Beamer is a dedicated announcement tool. It does changelogs and notifications well but doesn’t help you collect feedback or show a roadmap. Tools like UserJot include all three.

A More Complete Alternative

If you want the complete feedback loop, not just announcements, UserJot includes feedback boards, roadmaps, and changelogs in one platform.

	UserJot	Beamer
Starting Price	$29/mo	$49/mo
Free Plan	Yes (unlimited users)	Yes (1K visitors)
Pricing Model	Flat rate	Visitor-based
Feedback Boards	Yes	No
User Voting	Yes	No
Roadmap	Yes	Basic
Changelog	Yes	Yes

Pricing: Free plan available. Paid plans start at $29/month with no visitor limits.

With UserJot, you collect feedback, show what’s planned, and announce what shipped. That’s the full cycle. Beamer only covers the last part.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Beamer cost?

Beamer’s paid plans start at $49/month (annual billing) for the Starter plan with 10,000 visitors. Pro is $99/month (30,000 visitors), Scale is $249/month (100,000 visitors), and custom enterprise plans start at $499/month.

Does Beamer have a free plan?

Yes. Beamer’s free plan includes up to 1,000 monthly visitors, 1 teammate, and basic changelog features. It includes Beamer branding and lacks features like reactions, NPS, and segmentation.

What are “visitors” in Beamer pricing?

Visitors are unique users who load a page with your Beamer widget in a given month. Both anonymous and logged-in users count. Returning visitors count once per month.

Is Beamer worth it for small teams?

It depends on your needs. If you only need changelogs, $49/month is reasonable. But if you also want feedback collection and roadmaps, you’ll pay for Beamer plus additional tools. An all-in-one like UserJot may be more cost-effective.

Why don’t reactions come with the Starter plan?

Beamer gates user reactions (emoji feedback) behind the Pro plan at $99/month. This is a common complaint since reactions are a basic engagement feature many teams expect.

Can I use Beamer for free forever?

Yes, the free plan has no time limit. But with only 1,000 visitors and Beamer branding, most products will need to upgrade once they have any real traction.

Does Beamer include feedback collection?

Not really. Beamer focuses on one-way announcements. You can get basic emoji reactions on Pro plans, but there’s no way for users to submit feature requests, vote on ideas, or see a voting board.

How does Beamer compare to Canny?

Beamer is for announcements and changelogs. Canny is for feedback collection and voting boards. They serve different purposes. Some teams use both. Tools like UserJot combine both functions.

Does Beamer have a roadmap feature?

Beamer has a basic roadmap feature, but it’s limited compared to dedicated roadmap tools. There’s no user voting or feedback integration. It’s more of a simple status display than a full roadmap solution.

What happens if I exceed my visitor limit?

Beamer will prompt you to upgrade to a higher plan. There’s no published overage rate, so it’s best to monitor your usage and upgrade proactively if you’re approaching limits.
