Where Nordva Launch differs
Beamer is built around the in-app widget; feedback boards and NPS are separate add-ons with a limited free level and a $99/month paid level, and its API is metered per plan and absent on Free. Nordva Launch is API-first: every plan, including Free, has the REST API and the MCP server, and feedback is on every plan rather than an add-on (sorted by keywords on Free, by AI from Indie). There are no popups, banners or product tours.
Stay on Beamer if
You want tours, banners and NPS from one vendor, and a marketing team will run it from a dashboard rather than from code.
Try the overlap on the free plan.
No card. One key. The MCP server is included on every plan.
