When is beamanalytics.io shutting down?

beamanalytics.io has confirmed a shutdown date of September 1, 2026. Users should export their data before that date, as the service and data access will end then.

Can I import my beamanalytics.io historical data into Beam?

Beam supports CSV-based daily traffic import for Plausible and Fathom exports. Direct raw-event backfill from beamanalytics.io is not currently supported, but you can preserve your historical data by downloading exports before the shutdown and archiving them locally.

Is Beam a privacy-first alternative like beamanalytics.io was?

Yes. Beam is cookieless, collects no personal data, and does not require consent banners for analytics. The architecture and privacy approach are similar to what beamanalytics.io offered.

Migration Guide

beamanalytics.io to Beam Migration Guide

beamanalytics.io has announced it will shut down on September 1, 2026. If you are currently using it for analytics, now is the time to export your data and migrate to a replacement tool. This guide walks you through the migration to Beam step by step.

Shutdown timeline

September 1, 2026 — beamanalytics.io service ends and data access closes. Export all historical data you want to keep before this date. The data export link is available in your beamanalytics.io account settings.

Migration checklist

1. Export your data from beamanalytics.io

Log in to your beamanalytics.io account and download all available data exports. Save the files locally — you will lose access after September 1, 2026. The export option is typically found in your account settings or dashboard.
2. Sign up for Beam

Create a free Beam account. The free plan covers one site with up to 50K pageviews per month. The Pro plan ($5/mo) adds unlimited sites and 500K pageviews per month.
3. Add your site in Beam

In your Beam dashboard, create a new site record for your domain. You will receive a unique site ID used in your tracking script.
4. Install the Beam tracking snippet

Add the Beam script to your site's HTML, replacing the beamanalytics.io script tag: <script defer src="https://beam-privacy.com/js/beam.js" data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script> Use the setup guides hub for framework-specific instructions (Next.js, WordPress, Webflow, etc.).
5. Verify first pageview

Load your site and confirm the first pageview appears in your Beam dashboard. Use the installation verification tool in your dashboard's setup flow to confirm tracking is active.
6. Remove the beamanalytics.io script

Once Beam is verified and collecting traffic, remove the old beamanalytics.io script tag from your templates. There is no need to run both in parallel once Beam is confirmed working.

Historical data	Export is available before shutdown.	Direct beamanalytics.io CSV import is not yet supported in Beam. Archive exports locally. CSV import guide →
Custom events	Event tracking was available in beamanalytics.io.	Beam supports custom events with property breakdowns via `window.beam('event', ...)`.
Pricing	beamanalytics.io offered a generous free tier.	Beam free tier: 1 site, 50K pageviews/mo. Pro: $5/mo unlimited sites + 500K pageviews.

Honest gaps: what Beam does not yet offer

Direct import of beamanalytics.io raw event history — only Plausible and Fathom CSV imports are currently supported.
Custom script domains to reduce ad-block losses — Beam serves the script from the primary domain.
Enterprise SSO or team management — Beam is designed for indie makers and small teams.

If these gaps are blockers, compare alternatives like Plausible, Fathom, or Umami before committing.
