Beams is a work intelligence platform that helps teams understand how they actually spend their time across SaaS tools, meetings, and calendars. Instead of guessing which software subscriptions are being used, Beams connects to Google Suite and Slack to surface real data through a Mac desktop app. The platform is designed for product teams and managers who want to reduce SaaS costs, improve meeting habits, and plan team capacity in real time. For small businesses paying for a growing stack of software subscriptions, Beams can help you spot waste. However, the $320/month starting price for the Business plan puts it out of reach for very small teams.
A STOA consultant can help you evaluate these tools based on your specific business needs and walk you through implementation.
Talk to STOABeams solves a real problem — most businesses waste money on unused SaaS subscriptions. But the $320/month price and Mac-only, Google-only limitations make it a poor fit for most small businesses. Best for mid-market teams of 15-25 on Google Workspace and Macs.
