Beam is a business messaging platform for agencies that brings iMessage, RCS and SMS fallback into GoHighLevel from dedicated business lines. It sends iMessage from Apple devices and RCS from Android devices, and adds FaceTime Audio, call routing to voice agents and email. Beam is part of MetaTechAi, which also runs RizzDial.
Beam does not publish prices. Plans are chosen in the app by messaging capacity and billed monthly per number, with no per-message platform fee. A free preview workspace shows demo data, but nothing sends until a paid plan and an assigned line are active.
Both route iMessage, RCS and SMS from dedicated lines with no per-message fees, and both work with GoHighLevel (Linq through Linq Blue). Linq publishes prices, with a free Hobby tier and Pro from $260/month; Beam shows plans only in its app. Beam adds FaceTime Audio, call routing to voice agents and email, while Linq's API forwards inbound calls but does not place them. Linq documents group chats, polls, voice memos, threaded replies and SDKs; Beam's API docs cover none of these. Linq states SOC 2 Type II; Beam publishes no certification.
GoHighLevel agencies and sales teams that want blue-bubble follow-up, voice-agent handoff and booking inside their CRM, with an API and MCP access for custom automation.
Beam supports 36 of the 77 features compared on Linq Alternatives.
