The Beamer alternative with feedback collection and the complete loop
Beamer is great for announcements but can't collect feedback. UserJot gives you changelogs, feedback boards, roadmaps, and voting. The complete platform to listen, build, and announce. Simple pricing without MAU limits.
Two-way communicationFree forever planNo MAU limits
Beamer broadcasts updates.
But can't hear what users want.
Beamer is one-way communication. You can announce features, but you can't collect feedback, votes, or feature requests. Plus, MAU-based pricing gets expensive fast, reactions require the $99 Pro plan, and you're missing the feedback loop that drives better products.
No feedback collection
Reactions only, no voting or feature requests. One-way street.
MAU limits get expensive
Pricing based on visitors. Unpredictable costs as you grow.
Reactions cost extra
Basic engagement features locked behind $99/month Pro plan.
Limited roadmap features
Basic roadmap only. No voting, no real user-driven prioritization.
