When should you use each?
Beamer is a good fit when…

- You don't need a roadmap, live support, or Shopify revenue alongside it
- You're happy adding it as a separate subscription
Convot wins when…
- You want a changelog and a roadmap merchants vote on, not just announcements
- You want it bundled with live chat, a help center, status, and scheduling
- You want changelog and roadmap inside the same widget as support
- You want to see the MRR of the merchants reading and voting

What changes when you move to Convot
Revenue beside every thread
Every conversation shows the merchant's plan, MRR, LTV, and churn risk, pulled live from the Shopify Partner API. You stop treating all merchants the same and start protecting the ones who matter most.
AI that closes the churn loop
When a merchant uninstalls, Convot's AI examines the support history and tells you whether support was the cause, a signal no other tool can produce, so you fix the right thing.
Many tools become one
Chat, shared inbox, help center, changelog, roadmap voting, status page, scheduling, and a Shopify MRR dashboard, all under one login, one brand, and one bill instead of five subscriptions.
Built for Shopify app teams
Convot is purpose-built for the 1–10-person teams behind Shopify apps, Shopify-native (CORS for *.myshopify.com out of the box), revenue-aware, and live in minutes.
Ship in public, where your merchants already are.
A changelog and a roadmap inside the same widget as your support. Free for your first app, no credit card.
