“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.”

Nosto Overview

Nosto is an industry leader for product recommendations. Founded over 10 years ago, Nosto's AI and e-commerce tools have served many merchants using Shopify. Nosto has many widgets, support materials, and templates available for their customers.

Nosto lacks versatility for high-performance commerce teams and enterprise. Reviews from customers of Nosto have noted:
- Diminished support after implementation
- Lacking support for multi-store operations
- Pricey contracts and add-on charges
- Extra fees for customization

How Beam is different:
Beam is a premium, customized recommendation engine with flexibility to power every unique commerce scenario.

What is Beam?

Beam is a better Nosto alternative for personalized recommendations. Companies with hundreds or thousands of products must take a proactive approach to discovery. The Beam platform enables this method, boosting conversions and revenue by surfacing the most relevant products for each customer based on their behavior and tastes.


Fully tailored for your business’ unique needs. Our customers get unprecedented results, largely attributed to our tailor-made approach. Every business is unique, and our Machine Learning implementation team factors in every detail of your customer journey. Among Nosto competitors, this sets Crossing Minds apart.
