The Beamer alternative.

Choose Gleap when release notes, feature requests and NPS should live in the same workspace as customer conversations and the engineering work behind each update. Team includes the changelog, roadmap, surveys, Kai Support and a shared inbox with unlimited seats, plus Kai Resolve, Kai Code and Kai PM. Beamer fits teams that want a focused product communication tool beside their existing help desk.

Beamer is a mature changelog with in-app and standalone feeds, boosted announcements such as pop-ups and top bars, segmentation, browser push, an AI content generator for posts and a free plan for up to 1,000 monthly active users. Feedback and NPS are add-ons, and Userflow onboarding sits beside it since Beamer and Userflow united as one team. Keep Beamer if that scope covers your needs and support lives elsewhere.

Not on the base changelog plan. Beamer Team is $99 per month billed annually against $149 for Gleap Team. Add the Feedback add-on at $99 per month and Beamer Team totals $198 per month, or $2,376 a year, which is $588 more than Gleap Team at $1,788; the calculation is ($198 − $149) × 12. This compares base subscriptions at USD list prices, not identical features. MAU bundles, NPS, AI usage, taxes and discounts are excluded. USD list prices, checked September 25, 2026; see Beamer pricing and Gleap plans.

Beamer prices its changelog by monthly active users: Free for 1,000 MAUs with one teammate, then Starter at $49, Pro at $99 and Scale at $249 per month billed annually, or $59, $119 and $299 on monthly billing. Extra MAUs cost $50 per month per 5,000. Feedback and NPS are $99 per month add-ons, and User Onboarding is priced separately by Userflow. USD list prices, checked September 25, 2026 at getbeamer.com/pricing.

Team, Pro and Enterprise include Kai Resolve, Kai Code and Kai PM, along with the roadmap and surveys. Free covers live chat and Kai Support for one seat. AI usage is billed separately on Team and Pro, so estimate it from representative conversations rather than assuming it is included.

Plan to export your changelog posts, ideas, votes, subscribers and NPS history, then rebuild segments, the embedded widget and notification settings in Gleap. No native Beamer importer is assumed, so import a sample first and review the Trust Center for security requirements before changing your live feed. Run both tools in parallel during the trial.

Gleap publishes this comparison. Beamer's pricing page was rechecked on 25 September 2026; its changelog, feedback, NPS and push notification pages were checked on 15 September 2026. Gleap claims follow current product and plan evidence. Customer quotations describe their attributed experience with Gleap, not a measured comparison with or migration from Beamer.

Partly. Gleap sends push notifications to iOS and Android apps through Firebase Cloud Messaging, for campaigns, news items and support replies. Beamer's push reaches browser visitors who opt in, including people who are not logged in. If web push is central, evaluate it separately. See push notifications; Gleap SDKs cover web, iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter.

Yes. Gleap includes NPS, smiley ratings, numeric scales, choices and open text, shown in the widget, on a hosted link or in an email, and triggered by event, page and audience. Identified responses stay tied to the contact, so a detractor's comment can become a ticket or a request. Explore in-app surveys and NPS.

Changelog software publishes release notes where customers see them: an in-app feed, a public page and email to subscribers. Gleap adds drafts that start from merged pull requests and released requests, so the note describes the work that shipped. Explore release notes and changelog software.

Kai PM triages incoming feedback, finds duplicates and scores requests by demand, revenue, strategic fit and effort. Your team defines the weights, decides what belongs on the roadmap and controls what is published. It is available on every paid plan. Explore Kai PM.

A release note is the last step of a loop that starts with a customer request or report. Gleap connects that need to investigation, planning, reviewed implementation and the update customers receive, with your team deciding at each step. Explore self-driving development.
