Why Beacon
Product analytics purpose-built for software vendors shipping desktop, server, and cloud applications.
Native SDKs
.NET, C++, and JavaScript. No wrappers or shims — built for your stack with offline persistence.
Integrate in Minutes
Add a few lines of code and start receiving events. Sessions and exceptions are captured automatically.
Privacy-First
Your data stays yours. No third-party sharing, no ad targeting, no cross-product tracking.
Built for ISVs
Feature adoption, retention heatmaps, and conversion funnels designed for software vendors — not websites.
