<description>Beam is a Mac app, and the docs describe about five human steps. A person downloads the DMG, installs it on both Macs, grants Screen Recording and Accessibility on the sharing Mac, signs in and approves each Mac. The Free plan needs no card, with 20 minutes a day, but the 14-day trial does. There is no API, MCP server, scripting interface or x402. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 20 October 2026. No calls made.</description>

<description>The last dated change is the plans launch of 14 October 2026, which added accounts and replaced the $49 one-off price; earlier buyers moved to Lifetime at no charge. No changelog or release notes exist, and the download link names 1.0.3 while a 20 October post names 0.3.1. The terms promise email before significant changes and price changes only from the next renewal. The account server metering Free minutes has no status page. An agent can&#39;t drive Beam at all.

<description>Beam&#39;s prices are on the pricing page and in llms.txt without a login. Free gives 20 minutes a day with no card. Unlimited use is $12 a month ($144 a year), $84 a year ($7 a month) or $199 once. Teams are $12 a seat a month, 20 per cent off from 10 seats, so 12 seats is $806.40 a year. The 14-day trial needs a card. There is no per-call price. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 20 October 2026. No calls made.</description>

<description>No credential exists for an outside agent, since Beam has no API, MCP server or scripting interface. The sharing Mac needs Screen Recording and Accessibility permission, the terms warn that a beamed window can be controlled with nothing changing on that Mac&#39;s screen, and share links can allow control for up to a week. New Macs need approval, connections are encrypted and pinned, and password managers are excluded. No security.txt, disclosure policy or certification was found. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 20 October 2026. No calls made.</description>
