Questions about UserGist vs Beamer.

Does Beamer already collect feedback and NPS?

Yes. Beamer offers both feedback collection and NPS surveys. UserGist’s case is the additional multi-question survey workflow and a help center alongside product communication.

Are browser push and native mobile push the same?

No. Browser push relies on browser subscriptions; native push relies on mobile app configuration and providers. UserGist’s native push work should not be treated as a replacement for Beamer’s browser push.

Can UserGist include people who have not signed up?

Yes. UserGist supports anonymous and identified app users. Configure the appropriate audience and consent settings for feedback, surveys, and messages. Public portal access has separate settings.

How should I plan a move from Beamer?

List the workflows you rely on first. Review exports, user identities, consent, SDK coverage, and existing links. Test a small campaign before replacing anything live; this comparison does not promise a one-click importer or automatic transfer of subscriptions.
