Beamer is one tile. Gleap is the platform.
Beamer announces updates and runs a changelog widget. Gleap does roadmap and changelog too - plus AI support, in-app bug reporting with session replay, feature voting, surveys, and a knowledge base. One platform, flat $149/mo, unlimited seats.

Flat price, unlimited seats
Beamer bills per MAU - so traffic, not usage, sets your price
A Beamer MAU is anyone who loads a page where the widget sits - they never have to open it. If 50,000 people visit but only 2,000 read your changelog, you still pay for 50,000. A good launch doubles your traffic and your bill. Gleap is $149/mo flat, no matter how many people see your changelog.

Beamer announces. It does not act on feedback.
Beamer pushes updates out and collects upvotes. When a customer reports a bug or asks a question, there is nowhere for it to go. Gleap captures the request, answers support, turns bugs into pull requests, and builds the roadmap that feeds the changelog - in one platform.

What you gain: Kai PM
Beamer collects votes. Kai PM acts on them.
Beamer waits for people to upvote on a board. Kai PM auto-captures feature requests from every support chat, bug report, NPS comment, and in-app message, clusters duplicates with AI, scores by revenue impact, then writes the release notes and notifies voters when you ship. The changelog stops being a manual chore.

What you gain: Kai support + Kai Code
The support and bug reporting Beamer has no place for.
When a Beamer user has a question or hits a bug, the conversation goes somewhere else. Kai resolves around 80% of tier-1 support in the same widget - across email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Telegram. And Kai Code receives the session replay, console logs, and network requests, then moves confirmed bugs through plan mode, build mode, and a pull request.

Switching from Beamer
What is the best Beamer alternative?
Gleap is the best Beamer alternative for teams that want more than a changelog widget. It ships changelog, release notes, push notifications, a public roadmap and feature voting - and adds AI support, in-app bug reporting with session replay, NPS and surveys, and a knowledge base in one platform. Beamer bills per monthly active user (anyone who loads a page with the widget); Gleap is a flat $149/mo on the Team plan with unlimited seats and unlimited changelog viewers. AI usage is billed by actual tokens and selected model.
How is Beamer pricing different from Gleap?
Beamer prices by MAU - and an MAU is anyone who loads a page where the widget is installed, even if they never open it. As of 2026 it starts around $49/mo (Starter, ~5,000 MAUs), ~$99/mo (Pro), and ~$249/mo (Scale, ~50k+ MAUs), with NPS and feedback as paid add-ons. So your bill tracks your website traffic, not how many people read updates. Gleap is a flat $149/mo with unlimited seats and viewers. See pricing.
Does Beamer have AI features?
Beamer does not offer AI agents for support or content generation. Gleap is AI-first: Kai resolves around 80% of tier-1 support across the widget, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Telegram; Kai PM auto-captures and clusters feedback and writes release notes; and Kai Code turns bug reports into pull requests.
Can Gleap replace Beamer for changelog and notifications?
Yes. Gleap publishes a changelog and release notes via an in-app widget, email, and a hosted page, and sends in-app and push notifications when you ship - the same patterns Beamer supports. The difference is that the roadmap and feature voting that feed the changelog live in the same platform, and Kai PM can draft the release notes for you.
What does Gleap do that Beamer cannot?
Gleap adds AI support, in-app bug reporting with session replay plus console and network logs, an AI coding agent that turns bugs into pull requests (Kai Code), NPS and surveys, and a knowledge base. Beamer focuses on changelog announcements and notifications and leaves support and bug reporting to other tools.
Is Gleap SOC 2 certified?
Yes - Gleap is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and GDPR compliant, with EU/US data residency on Enterprise. It is rated 4.6/5 on G2 and used by 4,500+ teams, with a 14-day free trial.
