Where Nordva Launch differs
Beamer is built around the in-app widget, and it sells feedback boards and NPS as $99/month add-ons; the 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 triage is part of the paid plans rather than an add-on. 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.
