Pushlog vs Beamer
Beamer is an in-app notification and changelog tool that's been around since 2018. It's good at one thing: putting a notification widget inside your product that shows users what's new. But that focus on in-app distribution comes with complexity and cost that might surprise you.
Beamer charges by monthly active users (MAUs), starting at $49/month for 5,000 MAUs. That adds up fast. Email notifications? Locked behind the $99/month Pro tier. Want their feedback module or NPS surveys? Those are separate add-ons at $99/month each. A mid-size SaaS wanting the full feature set is looking at $250+/month before they've sent a single update.

The bottom line
If you need in-app popups, banners, and push notifications on top of your changelog, Beamer has those features and Pushlog doesn't. But if your goal is publishing updates and notifying users via email, widget, and webhooks — Pushlog does that at a fraction of the cost, without MAU-based pricing that punishes you for growing.
