What Beamer does
Beamer publishes changelog posts and in-app announcements, with optional feedback and NPS add-ons. If Beamer is on your shortlist, the useful question is which tool covers the loop you actually run: publish updates, show what is planned, and collect requests. This page compares the shortlist for that job, starting with Glink because it is the tool we build.
Why people look for a Beamer alternative
- Pricing is measured in monthly active users, so a changelog that reaches more people costs more.
- The free plan carries a watermark and stops at 1,000 MAU.
- Feedback and NPS are $99/mo add-ons rather than included features.
- Starter is $59/mo ($49/mo yearly), which is more than a focused changelog plus request board needs to cost.
