Beamer Pricing in 2026: MAU Plans, Add-Ons and Alternatives

Beamer is a product-update tool. It puts a changelog, in-app announcements, pop-ups and push notifications in front of your users, and it prices by how many of them there are. Every plan includes a set number of monthly active users (MAUs), and going over adds to the bill automatically. Feedback boards and a roadmap are not in the base plans at all; they are a separate add-on.

This guide covers Beamer's plans, how MAU pricing grows, the add-ons and how Beamer compares with alternatives.

Beamer pricing in 2026: Beamer has a Free plan for up to 1,000 monthly active users. Paid plans are Starter at $49/mo (5,000 MAUs), Pro at $99/mo (10,000 MAUs) and Scale at $249/mo (50,000 MAUs), billed yearly, or $59, $119 and $299 billed monthly. Extra MAUs cost $50/mo per 5,000. Feedback and a roadmap are a $99/mo add-on.

Beamer pricing plans

Annual billing saves $10 a month on Starter, $20 on Pro and $50 on Scale.

What is a monthly active user?

A monthly active user (MAU) in Beamer is a user of your product who is counted by Beamer in a given month, typically someone who loads your app with the Beamer widget installed. MAUs are the main unit of Beamer pricing: the more active users your product has, the higher the plan you need. Check Beamer's pricing page for its exact definition.

Beamer pricing at scale

When you go over your plan's MAUs, Beamer upgrades the account automatically in bundles of 5,000 MAUs at $50/mo each and emails the account owner. Estimated monthly cost on yearly billing, before add-ons:

These estimates use Beamer's published bundle rate. The route that is cheapest also depends on the features you need, since custom domains and email notifications start on Pro.

Add-ons

Feedback and roadmap. Idea collection and a public and private roadmap cost $99/mo as an add-on on Starter, Pro and Scale. Beamer also offers a separate Feedback Free plan with public ideas and a public roadmap; private ideas and roadmaps need the $99/mo Feedback add-on.

NPS surveys. NPS is a $99/mo add-on on Starter, Pro and Scale. The Free plan allows up to 500 in-app surveys a month with 90 days of history.

API requests. Starter includes 2,000 requests a month, Pro 20,000 and Scale 100,000. Beyond that, the first extra 100,000 cost $49 and each further 100,000 costs $19.

What pushes you up a tier

Audience growth. Every 5,000 extra MAUs adds $50 a month, so a growing product climbs automatically.

Email notifications. Emailing users about updates starts on Pro, with 5,000 a month, and Scale includes 20,000.

Your domain. A custom domain for the standalone changelog page and a custom sender domain both start on Pro.

Targeting. Basic segmentation is on Pro. Advanced segmentation is on Scale.

SSO. Single sign-on starts on Scale, and it is Google only.

Hidden costs to consider

The full loop costs more. A team that wants a changelog, feedback and a roadmap pays for a plan plus the $99/mo feedback add-on. On Pro billed yearly, that is about $198 a month before any MAU overage.

Automatic overage. MAU bundles are added without a sales conversation. That is convenient, but it means a launch or a traffic spike raises the bill without a decision on your part.

Hosted only. Beamer has no self-hosted or open-source edition, so your data lives in its cloud.

Who Beamer suits

Beamer is built for announcing product updates inside your app, and it does that well. Push notifications, boosted pop-ups, banners and segmentation let you put the right update in front of the right users. Unlimited teammates on every paid plan help larger teams. If your main goal is driving adoption of new features, and you already collect feedback elsewhere, Beamer is a strong choice.

It suits teams less well if they want feedback, a roadmap and a changelog as one product, or if their active user base is large and still growing.

How Quackback compares

Quackback puts the changelog at the end of a longer loop. Customers post requests on feedback boards and vote, you plan on a public roadmap, and when you publish an entry linked to those requests, everyone who voted gets an email. A support inbox, a help center and a status page sit beside it. It prices differently:

• No MAU pricing. Customers, voters and chat visitors are always free, so audience growth does not change the bill.
• Feedback and roadmap included. Boards, voting, the roadmap and the changelog are on every plan, with no add-on.
• Seats are included. Pro includes 5 seats, Business 20 and Enterprise unlimited. Quackback Business costs less than Beamer Pro with the feedback add-on. See Quackback pricing for current figures.
• Open source. Self-host every feature free under AGPL-3.0, with Docker or the Railway template (you pay Railway for the servers).

Be clear about the trade-offs. Beamer is the stronger announcement tool: push notifications, boosted pop-ups and banners, and advanced segmentation have no direct equivalent in Quackback. Quackback has no NPS surveys. Beamer gives every paid plan unlimited teammates, while Quackback caps seats by plan. Removing the Quackback badge is a paid add-on.
