Beamer is a dedicated changelog and announcement widget.
Convot ships a changelog and a roadmap, inside the same widget as your support.
Beamer is a what's-new and announcement widget with notifications and feedback. Convot ships a public changelog and a roadmap your merchants vote on, on your domain and inside the same widget where they chat, alongside live chat, a help center, a status page, scheduling, and Shopify revenue data.

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.
Convot as a Beamer alternative
Is Convot a good Beamer alternative?
For Shopify app teams, yes. Convot covers the same support essentials as Beamer — live chat, a shared inbox, and a help center on your own domain — and adds Shopify revenue intelligence (MRR, plan, LTV, and churn risk) beside every conversation that Beamer can't show. It's purpose-built for 1–10-person Shopify app teams and goes live in minutes, not a multi-week rollout.
How much does Convot cost compared to Beamer?
Convot is free under $1,000 MRR and starts at $49/month after that, with no per-agent pricing. Its grounded AI agent, Cove AI, is $0.20 per resolution. See the pricing page for current plans (pricing as of June 2026).
Can I migrate from Beamer to Convot?
Yes. Setting up Convot takes minutes, and our team will help you move your help center content and set up chat and a shared inbox. Most Shopify app teams are live the same day — book a demo and we'll plan your switch.
What does Convot do that Beamer doesn't?
Convot shows live Shopify Partner revenue data — MRR, plan, LTV, and churn risk — beside every conversation, and its AI can attribute churn to support after an uninstall. It also bundles a changelog, roadmap voting, status page, and in-chat scheduling that usually need separate tools, all under one login and one bill.
