“A big difference between Beam and other SaaS products we’ve used is that we feel like we’re getting a truly personal service tailored to our unique needs as a business.”

Monetate Overview

Monetate (by Kibo Commerce) has provided A/B testing and personalization tools for over 15 years. Prior to AI's explosive entrance into e-commerce in the 2010s, the solution provided reliable A/B testing tools to optimize site experiences. Now, the platform continues to serve merchants on a wide array of platforms including Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and more.

Monetate lacks necessary support for high-performance commerce teams and enterprise. Reviews from Monetate customers have noted:
- Lacking customer support after implementation
- Antiquated communication style (sending MS Word documents)
- Extra fees for customization

How Beam is different:
Beam is a modern, customized e-commerce personalization engine built for maximum flexibility and results.

What is Beam?

Beam is a better Monetate alternative for modern AI personalization. Monetate uses third-party data to personalize, a legacy method that necessitates controversial privacy practices. Beam leverages the most recent advancements in AI, allowing merchants to deliver personalized experiences exclusively with first-party data. The Beam platform boosts conversions and revenue by personalizing based on real-time actions like clicks, adds to cart, and more.

Fully tailored for your business’ unique needs. Beam customers get unprecedented results, largely attributed to its tailor-made approach. Every business is unique, and the Beam implementation team factors in every detail of your customer journey.
