Beamer
In-app changelog and announcements widget with segmentation, push notifications, and feedback add-ons.
About
Beamer is a dedicated changelog and announcement tool for SaaS products. Publish release notes from a dashboard and they go out through an in-app widget with a notification badge, modal popups for important updates, browser push notifications, and a standalone public changelog page. Announcements can be segmented by user cohort and published in multiple languages.
Growth teams pick it for polished announcement UX and engagement analytics; the trade-offs are MAU-based pricing and the fact that feedback boards and NPS surveys are sold as separate $99/month add-ons, so a full feedback-plus-changelog setup costs two subscriptions. The free plan covers up to 1,000 monthly active users; paid plans run $49, $99, and $249/month on annual billing.
