Beamtrace review (2026): is it worth $24 a month?
Small-business AI visibility tracker from the makers of Elfsight
Beamtrace report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 24, 2026
Best for small businesses checking ChatGPT only
Beamtrace checks whether ChatGPT recommends your business for questions it writes from your profile and location, and sends suggested fixes to Trello, Jira, Asana or monday.com. But ChatGPT is the only engine tracked today, the $24 plan checks 10 prompts every 3 days, and daily checks need the $120 Premium plan.
Who Beamtrace is for
- Fits if you run a small local business and mainly want to know whether ChatGPT names you
- Works for teams that keep their to-do list in Jira, Linear or Asana
Who Beamtrace is not for
- Skip it if you need Gemini, Claude, Perplexity or Grok, which are listed as coming soon
- Tight if you start on Starter: 10 prompts, checked every 3 days
- Pricey if you want daily checks, which need Premium at $120 a month
- Watch out: you can add or delete the generated prompts but not edit them, and Slack, Zapier, Make and n8n are still coming soon
- Watch out: the full refund only covers 14 days after paying; after that, refunds are limited to the cases the policy lists
Why Beamtrace gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyStarter is $24 a month for 10 prompts checked every 3 days, inside this category's cheaper quarter, which starts at $29. Yearly billing saves 17%. It's ChatGPT only, and daily checks need Premium at $120.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial on every plan with no card needed.
- CFeaturesA visibility score, prompts generated from your profile, competitors found in the answers, AI reputation monitoring and fixes sent to task trackers. The gap the listing names: only ChatGPT is tracked, with Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Grok coming soon.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but it writes the starting prompts from your business profile and location and finds the competitors for you, so there's little to set up. You can add or delete prompts, not edit them.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Fixes go to Trello, Jira, Linear, Asana, Todoist or monday.com, and the MCP server works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and JetBrains.

Keep Beamtrace, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing Beamtrace does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 146 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade. It costs $288 a year.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- It plugs into other products, Trello, Jira and Linear among them.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Beamtrace’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
