Subscription Upgrade for 'Beeper' Offers Scheduled Messages, AI Voice Transcription, and Enhanced Features
The Beeper app, previously known for its attempts to bring iMessage-like functionality to Android, has received a significant update and introduced a premium subscription model. The update brings enhanced security, new features, and a more personalised user experience.
The new features include:
1. **Enhanced Security**: On-device connections for most chat apps ensure messages go directly from the device to the network, bypassing the cloud bridge for better privacy. 2. **Message Scheduling**: The "Send Later" feature allows users to schedule messages across any connected service. 3. **Reminders**: Users can set reminders to revisit chats later, helping manage communications more effectively. 4. **Voice Note Transcriptions**: AI-powered voice note transcriptions convert voice notes to text for easier reading. 5. **Incognito Mode**: Users can view messages without sending read receipts or appearing online. 6. **Custom App Icons**: Users can personalize their experience with custom app icons.
Beeper is offering two premium tiers: Beeper Plus and Beeper Plus Plus. The standard Beeper Plus tier, starting at $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, supports up to three accounts from the same app, message scheduling, reminders, Incognito mode, voice note transcriptions, custom app icons, and allows adding up to ten accounts. The upgraded "Plus Plus" tier, costing $49.99 per month or $499.99 per year, removes limits on the number of accounts you can add and offers Priority support.
Existing Beeper users can now add up to 12 accounts for free, and those who paid for early access before March 2023 are eligible for lifetime free Beeper Plus access. Some services like Slack and Discord may not work with the offline mode.
Since its acquisition by Automattic, the company behind WordPress, last year, Beeper has remained functional but quiet. With this update, Beeper is making a comeback, promising to expand its functionality for its users. The company encourages users to explore the new features and subscribe to Beeper Plus for a more enhanced experience.
Gadget enthusiasts might appreciate the new features on the Beeper app, such as the ability to schedule messages, set reminders, and even transcript voice notes to text. For a more personalized and secure user experience, users can consider upgrading to Beeper Plus, which offers advanced features like message scheduling, reminders, Incognito mode, voice note transcriptions, custom app icons, and support for multiple accounts at an affordable cost.
