Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    As others have already pointed out it is insane how expensive this is for the features that you really need. From what I can see even the most expensive “Beans Pro” memebership at $199/month will still leave you with no HTML/CSS customization, No Points for referrals, No Extra points for frequent purchases, No Extra points for spending over a certain amount, No Points for custom actions, no VIP tiers program, NO Priority support, even at $199/month????, What they’re charging up to $199/month for seems like what should be the free tier, the pro being all these things being included.

    I have been using Beans for a while now. The result are consistent. The email automation feature is effective and it makes sure customers stay active in the program. Customers are very active and seem to be loving it. Wish to see more features and more cool way to keep customers engaged.

    I had a good experience setting it up and found the interface user-friendly but the pricing page on the website is completely misleading since there is no free version of the apps. Once the trial is over you must be prepared to pay or else you’ll be wasting your time.

    Tried to install it and WordPress threw a warning that it was causing a fatal error. Install at your own risk, I haven’t been able to use it.

    Not transparent enough about pricing and entirely pointless without upgrading to paid version. Check pricing and make sure you are prepared to spend that much before registering to avoid wasting your time and handing your details over to yet another app developer for no reason (this is not a cheap app). Also haven’t been able to find instructions or any information on what the end result looks like or how it actually works. This topic was modified 6 years ago by daisycutter.

    I have been looking for a plugin like this for so long. A single plugin to manage emails, popups, rewards and referral. And the paid version is cheaper than MailChimp. Don’t change anything.

    I have tried the old version of Beans… Its really really bad. BUT, until recently, I think there is a change of team managing Beans, I would say its an awesome change! 1. The service team is extremely helpful and prompt, they helped me resolve all of the issues i had to successfully integrate the plugin with the rest! 2. The interface was something i was looking for, a 3rd party site handling all the customisation of the loyalty program, which is really flexible too 3. I have been on wordpress for almost 5 years. Great kudos to the team at Beans! I almost wanted to switch to shopify as the referral/loyalty existing program kind suck. Until the new Beans came by. Great job team! I am definitely gonna be using this plugin for a long long time. (this is not a paid post, im a paying customer too)
