Why choose Beamer over ReleaseNotes?

Superior user engagement tools.

More flexibility and control.

All-in-one user feedback platform.

Beamer gives more solutions to boost your engagement and adoption after every update. ReleaseNotes lacks features like push notifications or in-app tooltips.

With Beamer, you’ll have more control over how you engage your users, like being able to target users based on their attributes using Segmentation, which ReleaseNotes doesn’t have.

Beamer offers a suite of user feedback tools including NPS. ReleaseNotes doesn’t have any features for feedback.

See the difference for yourself.

Even at a glance the difference is obvious. Beamer’s changelog and notification features are much more flexible and offer a wider set of tools to better tackle all of your user engagement needs. It also comes with a suite of feedback tools that allow you to establish a feedback loop with your customers.

Two-way communication that builds trust.

Beamers allows you to have a conversation with your users, by offering features not available in ReleaseNotes, like:

  • The ability for users to post comments to your changelog posts.

  • A dedicated Inbox to promptly respond to user comments and dig deeper.

  • In-app tools to collect feedback and ideas from users.

Pinpoint targeting for more effective product launches.

ReleaseNotes only offers private vs public segmentation, while Beamer lets you take granular control over who you engage.

  • Combine different filters with AND/OR to easily create new segments directly within the Beamer dashboard.

  • Use single user notifications to communicate to specific individual users.

  • Send push notifications to effectively target offline users.

Feedback loops that grow your product.

Beamer gives you a full suite of tools to get first-hand feedback from your users and build exactly what they need.

  • Effortlessly track and monitor customer happiness with in-app NPS.

  • Collect input as well as new feature requests from users with Feedback.

  • Close the loop by prioritizing user feedback in private or public roadmaps.

  • Why customers are choosing Beamer over ReleaseNotes

  • “For our customers, Beamer is the source of truth for product updates. It's helped us create strong habit loops within the product that get customers consistently checking in and engaging with our product releases like never before.”

  • “Prior to using Beamer Feedback, our customers were not actively involved in the product development process. They would often contact our support teams, unaware of already released features, and request them. However, since implementing feedback collection and sharing a public roadmap via Beamer Feedback, we have seen a significant decrease of 50% in support volume.”

  • “Beamer Feedback gives us confidence that we are building the right features and tools for our clients. We have a central place to see feature requests, get votes, and enable customer interaction.”
