Beamer alternative

ReleaseDock, the Beamer alternative with support and AI around your changelog, on flat plans

Beamer is a changelog and in-app announcement tool, priced by monthly active users, with feedback and NPS sold as separate add-ons. ReleaseDock includes a public changelog as one surface in a bundle that also has a support inbox, an AI agent, and a knowledge base, on flat monthly plans. If your announcements are reaching a large audience, Beamer's MAU-based pricing can climb, while ReleaseDock's stays flat. Here is the honest comparison.

Moving from Beamer

ReleaseDock does not import from Beamer. You can rebuild your changelog in ReleaseDock's editor and gain a support inbox, AI agent, and knowledge base in the same plan. Recreate any help content via Markdown or a bulk zip import, and install the widget with one script tag. If in-app announcement targeting and NPS are central to your work, weigh those gaps before switching.
