Beekeeper is now part of LumApps.teamly remains the focused employee app
Since July 2025, Beekeeper has been merging with the intranet provider LumApps into the "AI Employee Hub", backed by the private equity firm Bridgepoint. For customers, that means a new roadmap, new structures, new contacts. teamly is and remains a focused employee app from Germany, with your own branded app as standard.

Key differences
The differences that matter

A branded app as standard instead of an enterprise option
With Beekeeper, the shared Beekeeper app is the standard; customer-specific branded apps exist as an enterprise option without a public price and are sometimes listed under the developer "Beekeeper AG" rather than the customer name. With teamly, your own app under your name is the standard, in every package.

A stable focus instead of a merger
Beekeeper is in the middle of the integration with LumApps: a new product promise, private equity ownership, corporate cloud on Google and Azure. teamly remains a focused German product with a clear roadmap and a fixed contact person.
Hosting exclusively in Germany
Beekeeper offers data residency in Switzerland, the EU, or the USA; a German location is not explicitly guaranteed. teamly hosts exclusively in German, ISO 27001 certified data centers, under German contract law.

Pricing and contract
How both vendors calculate
Beekeeper
Beekeeper publishes no prices: three plans (Essential, Core, Premium), all on request only; the former pricing page redirects to a LumApps contact form. Whether the customer-specific branded app costs extra is not publicly documented.
Buy or rent
teamly does not publish a price list either. The quote is calculated individually based on the number of users and modules, either as a purchase or a rental. Contract term: 24-month minimum, then a 12-month renewal with 3 months notice. Your own branded app in the App Store is included in every package.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What decision-makers ask most often when comparing teamly and Beekeeper.
What has become of Beekeeper?
Beekeeper merged with the intranet provider LumApps in July 2025, backed by the private equity firm Bridgepoint. The combined group positions itself as the "AI Employee Hub" with a valuation of over 1 billion US dollars; beekeeper.io now redirects to lumapps.com. Existing customers should actively clarify the roadmap and contract continuity.
Does Beekeeper offer its own branded app?
