Is sarvaFeed actually cheaper than Beamer?

For most teams, yes, and the reason is packaging rather than the headline number. Beamer Starter is $49/mo (annual) for a changelog plan; feedback boards, roadmap, and NPS surveys are billed separately at $99/month each, so matching sarvaFeed Growth's bundle on Beamer means Pro ($99) + Feedback ($99) + NPS ($99) = $297/month. The same bundle on sarvaFeed Growth is $19 per admin seat: $57/month for three admins, $95 for five, $190 for ten. Be aware of where it crosses over: past about fifteen admins on monthly billing the two totals converge, though Beamer's keeps climbing with your MAUs and sarvaFeed's does not. The other honest caveat is the shape of the purchase: if an announcement widget is genuinely all you need, Beamer Starter at $49/mo is a specialist doing one job very well. Beamer also ships SSO today and we do not.

Beamer is great at changelog. Does sarvaFeed match it?

Beamer is built changelog-first and it shows: rich formatting, segmentation, boosted in-app announcements, and email digests are all polished. sarvaFeed's changelog covers the same essentials (in-app widget, standalone page, email notifications, scheduled posts) and ties directly into the same feedback boards and roadmap. If announcements are your only need, Beamer is the specialist. If you want one product for feedback, roadmap, and changelog, sarvaFeed bundles them.

Does Beamer have AI features?

Beamer's pricing page and product pages don't list AI features as of 2026: no AI dedup, categorization, or smart replies. sarvaFeed includes AI-assisted dedup and smart categorization from Starter, with 100 AI credits a month there, 500 on Growth, and 2,000 on Scale. If you handle hundreds of feedback items a month, that gap matters.

How does MAU-based pricing compare to sarvaFeed's per-seat pricing?

Beamer's tiers are capped by Monthly Active Users: 5K on Starter, 10K on Pro, 50K on Scale. Growing past a tier means a price jump regardless of how much you use the product. sarvaFeed has no MAU ceiling at all: portal users, voters, and readers are unlimited and free on every plan, including Free. The bill tracks your team instead: $19 per admin seat on Growth, one seat included and every extra one at the same $19. Hire an admin and it moves; add a hundred thousand readers and it doesn't. Beyond seats the tiers meter workload rather than audience, which is 5 boards and 25,000 posts on Growth.

Can I import my Beamer changelog history?

Yes. We support CSV import for posts and our team will run a guided migration of your changelog history at no extra charge on Growth and above. Subscribers and engagement data can also be migrated with a brief setup call.

The better alternative to Beamer

A Beamer alternative with feedback, roadmap, and changelog in one $19-per-seat plan ($57/month for a three-admin team) instead of a $99 tier plus a $99 feedback add-on, metered by MAU.

Do the math

What Beamer really costs

Beamer's headline tiers cover the changelog, but feedback boards and NPS surveys are sold as separate $99/month add-ons each. To match what sarvaFeed Growth includes (feedback, roadmap, changelog, surveys, and AI) you'd be paying Pro ($99) + Feedback ($99) + NPS ($99) = $297/month on Beamer, before MAU overages. The same bundle on sarvaFeed is $19 per admin seat: $57/month for a three-admin team, $95 for five, whatever your audience does.

That is the gap once you actually have a feedback board: Pro at $99 plus the $99 Feedback add-on is $198/mo, against a three-admin sarvaFeed Growth workspace at $19 a seat, $57/mo, so $141/mo less, 71% lower. The chart above is the mechanism, and Beamer's side keeps climbing, MAU overages add $50 per 5,000 users and NPS surveys are a further $99/mo, while sarvaFeed bundles feedback, roadmap, changelog, and surveys and only moves when you add an admin.

The facts

Let’s look at the facts

Beamer is the strongest changelog tool in this category, and if all you need is to broadcast product updates with rich formatting and segmentation, it's a great fit. The mismatch shows up when you also want a voting board, public roadmap, or NPS surveys. Beamer sells those as $99/month add-ons each, on top of a tier metered by monthly active users. sarvaFeed packages feedback, roadmap, and changelog into one Growth plan at $19 per admin seat: $57/month for a three-admin team, whatever your audience does.

Pricing & Plans

Beamer has five tiers. Free, Starter ($49/mo annual), Pro ($99/mo annual), Scale ($249/mo annual), Enterprise (custom), priced by MAU. The catch is that the headline price is the changelog only; feedback and NPS surveys are $99/mo each on top. sarvaFeed's meter is admin seats: every paid plan includes one, and extra seats cost the plan's own rate, so three admins on Growth are $57/mo and your audience size never enters the calculation. What the tiers add on top of seats is workload rather than people: 5 boards and 25,000 posts on Growth, 20 boards and 100,000 posts on Scale. Pick up a hundred thousand readers and the invoice does not move.

Core features

Beamer's home turf is changelog. sarvaFeed covers changelog, feedback boards, and a public roadmap in one product, all three on every plan, including Free. Beamer charges separately for feedback and NPS.

Integrations

Beamer's integration set is built around announcement delivery, Intercom and Segment are first-class, and most PM tools route through Zapier. sarvaFeed's catalogue is built around product workflows, with native two-way sync for Jira, Linear, GitHub, Salesforce, and HubSpot on Growth, and the REST API open from Starter at $9 a seat rather than gated behind a $99 tier.

Customization & Brand

Beamer watermarks the free tier and reserves custom domain for Pro ($99/mo annual). sarvaFeed puts the custom domain and your own logo and colours on Growth at $19 a seat, $57/mo for a three-admin team. Credit where it is due on the badge, though: Beamer clears its watermark at Starter, $49/mo annual, while dropping the "powered by sarvaFeed" badge entirely means Scale at $39 a seat. Do the seat arithmetic before you decide: one admin on Scale is $39 and beats Beamer Starter, two admins are $78 and do not. If a clean white-label is the one thing you are buying, Beamer gets there for less as soon as you have a second admin.

Admin & Security

SSO arrives at $249/mo Scale on Beamer (annual); sarvaFeed has not shipped it at all yet, it is on the roadmap and will land on our Scale plan, so if SSO is a requirement today Beamer wins that row outright. Compliance goes the same way: Beamer offers SOC 2 Type II on Enterprise and sarvaFeed holds no certification yet, we are an early-stage platform building to best practice rather than to an audit report. The trade runs the other way on governance: activity logs and custom admin roles are Growth features on sarvaFeed at $19 a seat, and Enterprise on Beamer.
