Frequently Asked Questions
Is AnnounceHQ a good Beamer alternative?
Yes, AnnounceHQ is an excellent Beamer alternative for teams that need changelog functionality without the enterprise features. AnnounceHQ focuses on what matters most: beautiful changelog pages, widgets, and email notifications. If you don't need Beamer's NPS surveys or in-app messaging, AnnounceHQ saves you $40+/month.
What does Beamer have that AnnounceHQ doesn't?
Beamer offers in-app messaging, NPS surveys, user segmentation, and feedback collection. AnnounceHQ focuses purely on changelogs and release notes. If you need those extra features, Beamer may be worth the higher price.
