What UserJot is opinionated about
Four things that shape every decision.
Announcements are one surface in a larger loop. These are the four commitments that shape every decision, and together they make that loop feel unmistakably lighter to run than a dedicated tool for each step.
See how we think about pricingTwo-way, not one-way
Beamer broadcasts. UserJot listens first. Feedback, votes, and feature requests are the reason the changelog exists at the end of the loop.
Designed end to end
Portal, widget, dashboard, emails, mobile. Every touchpoint drawn by the same hand, with the same standards. The product looks current for your team and for the people it reaches.
Flat, not per visitor
Readers, returners, the person who found your changelog through a shared link. They are the system working. Flat pricing with unlimited visitors keeps them on your side, not on your invoice.
One loop, not three tools
Feedback, roadmap, and changelog share state. Shipping a feature moves the right pieces on its own. Nobody reassembles the story across surfaces.
Our strategy is to stay close to our users and obsess over quality. UserJot makes that easy: one place to listen, build what users want, and keep the feedback loop short.
The customer feedback platform where users vote on what ships next.
UserJot brings every customer request into one place, ranks it by the users who want it most, and turns the loop from submission to shipped feature into something your users can watch happen. Feedback, roadmap, and changelog, in one tool.
Ranked feedback board
Every request lands in one ranked board instead of getting buried across email, Slack, and support threads.
AI duplicate detection
AI surfaces similar requests as users type so votes land on one canonical post instead of splitting across duplicates.
In-app widget
Embed feedback collection directly inside your product so users can submit ideas without leaving the page.
Status-change emails
When a request moves to Review, Planned, or In Progress, every voter gets the update automatically.
Weekly digest
Top new requests worth voting on arrive in a weekly email that pulls users back into the board.
Closed-loop updates
The moment a feature ships, voters hear about it through the changelog and the feedback loop closes itself.
The part Beamer does not have
Feedback that feeds the changelog.
Beamer collects reactions on your announcements, a thumbs-up on work that is already done. UserJot collects the feedback that becomes the announcement: requests, votes, and comments, structured and ready to prioritize.
Requests, not reactions
Users write out what they want in their own words. Not a thumbs-up, not a single-score survey.
Votes that decide
Every post ranks itself by vote count. Your roadmap inherits that order automatically.
Comments for the hard calls
When a feature is close to yes, the comments tell you what yes should look like.
Status that flows to the roadmap
Move a post to Planned and it lands on the public roadmap. Ship it and it lands on the changelog. One action, three surfaces updated.
How we think about pricing
We charge for the product, not for the audience that reads it.
It sounds like a small distinction. In practice, it shapes how the whole system feels to operate.
A changelog and feedback tool's job is to reach users 01. Readers, returners, the person who found your roadmap through a shared link. They are the system working. We never want the invoice to ask whether you really want that many of them.
So UserJot scales on the shape of the product you pick (custom domains, integrations, boards, SSO) 02, not on how many people see your updates. A team of three with a hundred thousand visitors pays the same as a team of three with a thousand.
What changes when pricing works this way is subtle. Teams put the changelog somewhere visible, embed the widget in more places, and announce to more audiences 03. The loop gets wider on its own. That width is the actual product.
By the numbers
Three numbers worth knowing.
What UserJot costs on day one, what the ceiling looks like, and how long it takes to stand up a new workspace.
$0
Free forever, unlimited visitors
Two boards, public roadmap, public changelog, every reader you want. Beamer free caps at 1,000 monthly visitors and leaves a Beamer watermark on your updates.
$59
The ceiling on our pricing
Every feature, every integration, every visitor, flat. Beamer Scale runs $249 per month at the same reach, and Custom starts at $499.

Closing the loop
The last mile of a changelog, automated.
Beamer starts the changelog on a blank page. UserJot starts it from the feedback that asked for the feature in the first place. Same surface, different starting point, very different week.
Voters hear first
Everyone who voted or commented gets an email the moment you publish. The list is built for you.
Scheduled updates
Queue announcements for when your users are awake. A weekly digest gently re-engages the quieter ones.
Changelog software with AI that writes, schedules, and notifies for you.
AI changelog software that writes updates from your shipped features, schedules posts, and auto-notifies users who requested them. The in-app widget helps users discover every release the moment you publish.
AI writes complete changelogs
Tell the AI to write a changelog from closed feedback and it drafts the post, title, and tags in your voice.
Automatic user notifications
When you publish, users who voted on those features get an email automatically. No manual list management.
In-app widget
Users can read the latest changelog without leaving your product.
Update indicator
A small badge appears the moment a new changelog lands, so users never miss what shipped.
Link to feedback
Every update links back to the original feature requests and the customers who asked for them.
Schedule posts
Ask the AI to schedule for Monday at 2pm, or let it pick the right time for your audience.
“Our strategy is to stay close to our users and obsess over quality. UserJot makes that easy: one place to listen, build what users want, and keep the feedback loop short.”
“UserJot has noticeably improved our product process. Instead of piecing together feedback from support, email, and social, we have one hub to collect feedback, gauge interest, and keep users updated on improvements. It's helped us move faster and focus on things customers actually want.”
“We set up UserJot and our users actually started leaving feedback. Clean, simple, and we finally know what to build next.”
“Ever since we added UserJot, the most common thing users mention in reviews is that we actually listen. It's helped us build a loyal community of users who feel like they're shaping the app with us.”
“We'd been looking for a feedback board for some time. Every app we found was either bloated or expensive. Userjot hits the sweet spot! The UI is next-level, and the pace of improvement has been amazing!”
Migration
About an hour to move your Beamer changelog over.
Beamer does not publish a full import API, so this one is not a paste-a-token affair. It is still short, because we do the mapping for you. Your posts, categories, publish dates, and media come across intact.
Export your Beamer changelog
Pull posts, categories, and media from Beamer's export. Thirty seconds to run, a minute to download.
We map it into UserJot
Send us the export and we set up boards, statuses, and historical posts so the readers who bookmarked your old page see continuity when they return.
Flip the widget over
Swap the Beamer script tag for the UserJot one. The changelog keeps publishing, and a feedback board is now live alongside it.
If your Beamer setup is unusual (multiple sites, heavy segmentation, ongoing A/B tests), reach out. We will run the migration with you and make sure nothing is lost in the move.
Pricing
Pricing that does not punish adoption.
Flat monthly pricing with unlimited users on every plan. Your bill stays the same at a hundred users or ten thousand, on quiet months or loud ones.

Questions
The ones that come up before teams switch.
Pricing math, migration, what Beamer still does better, and how the two products differ in shape. Answered plainly.
Two differences. First, scope: Beamer is a changelog and in-app announcement tool. UserJot is feedback, roadmap, and changelog as one designed loop, so the changelog comes out of work that came in from users. Second, pricing: Beamer meters monthly visitors. UserJot is flat. The same $59 plan serves a thousand readers and a hundred thousand. Both tools are reasonable. They optimize for different jobs.
For changelog publishing, email notifications, an embeddable widget, and a public changelog page, yes. For pop-ups, banners, boosted announcements, A/B testing on in-app messages, and NPS surveys, not at the same depth. Beamer is a specialist for interruptive, one-time announcements with fine-grained targeting. UserJot's announcement surfaces are the changelog page, the in-app widget, and automated email. If your product depends on timed pop-ups and A/B-tested banners, Beamer stays the stronger tool for that particular job.
Beamer Starter is $49 per month for 10,000 visitors. Pro is $99 for 30,000, which is where reactions unlock. Scale is $249 for 100,000. Custom starts at $499 for 250,000 or more. UserJot stays flat: Starter at $29 per month, Professional at $59 per month, unlimited visitors on both. At 100,000 visitors the gap is about $190 per month. The point is not only that we are cheaper at scale, though we are. It is that pricing should not penalize you for reaching more people.
Anyone who loads a page with the Beamer widget on it in a given month. Logged-in users, anonymous readers, people arriving from a shared link. Once they are counted, they are counted, and they push you toward the next tier. UserJot never meters visitors. Your pricing stays the same whether a hundred or a hundred thousand people see your changelog.
Yes, with our help. Beamer does not publish a full import API, so this one takes a bit more work than a token paste. Export your posts, categories, and media from Beamer, send us the file, and we map everything into UserJot, including publish dates and historical ordering. Most migrations finish in under an hour. The readers who bookmarked your old page see the continuity when they return.
For most teams, no. UserJot's in-app widget covers changelog, feedback, and roadmap in one surface users come back to on their own. That is different from a pop-up or banner that interrupts a session. If interrupt-style announcements are central to how you market new features (especially on high-traffic pages with behavioral targeting), Beamer remains the right pick for that part, and some teams do run both.
UserJot's feedback collection is structured rather than reaction-based: users post requests, upvote posts, and leave comments. That replaces emoji reactions for most teams. We do not offer NPS natively; we focus on the structured feedback that ends up shaping the roadmap. For NPS specifically, pair with a dedicated tool like Delighted or Refiner. The notable findings from those surveys usually end up as posts in UserJot anyway.
Slack, Linear, Discord, webhooks, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents. The MCP server is uncommon in the category. Claude, Cursor, or any other agent can triage feedback, update the roadmap, and draft changelogs on your behalf. One integration is included on Starter. Professional includes all of them.
Yes, on Starter ($29 per month) and above. Your changelog and feedback board live at feedback.yourcompany.com or any subdomain, with full branding control. Beamer offers custom domains from Starter at $49 per month, but visitor scaling applies on top. At 30,000 visitors, the effective cost is $99 per month.
Yes, on every paid plan. White-labeling is a standard inclusion. Beamer removes its watermark on Starter at $49 per month. Our view is that branding control is a baseline, not a tier gate.
It is part of the same system as feedback and roadmap. When you move a Post to Completed, UserJot drafts the changelog announcement from the original request and the discussion around it, in your voice, ready to review. Publishing notifies every voter and commenter automatically, and pulses a new-update indicator in the in-app widget. The blank page that most teams dread is closed by the time you start.
Professional ($59 per month) includes SAML SSO. Automatic Login (a JWT-based SSO-lite flow) is available on Starter and Professional for in-app identification. Beamer places SSO on its Custom plan starting at $499 per month.
Thirty seconds from signup to a live board. Pick a workspace name, share the link. No configuration sits between you and the first piece of feedback. For a full Beamer migration, add about an hour of our time.
