Beamer alternative

Release notes that write themselves.

Product updates are a long requested feature in Beamer.

Released started with product updates as a major selling point, and it shows.

Templates allow you to create consistent product updates, with AI blocks that write the content for you.

Manual release notes.

Product release notes are Beamer’s bread and butter. Which makes it so much more surprising that the process of writing release notes remains largely manual, with zero AI assistance.

AI powered release notes.

Released generates your product updates from your Jira tickets. Use templates, a rich text editor, image cropping and automatically created links to Jira tickets to keep stakeholders and customers in the loop.

With Released you can create your roadmap using Jira Epics or Ideas in Jira Product Discovery. Show only the issues you want using easy-to-use filters or the powerful Jira Query Language (JQL).

Create custom columns to tailor the board to your needs. Map issues via status, priority, team, version, quarter… and many more Jira custom fields.

Showcase your product’s momentum by embedding them directly on your website. Turn potential customers into buyers by showing off your latest updates and improvements.

I really like Released, not just because of AI, but the concept and the user experience directly in Jira is awesome.

Create your roadmap, straight from Jira.

Beamer released its roadmap feature in 2021, but it’s still lacking any kind of Jira integration to keep your roadmap up-to-date.

No Jira integration

Without Jira integration in Beamer, you’ll need to manage your roadmap across multiple platforms and manually keep them in sync.

Nothing to keep in sync, it’s Jira.

Writing release notes was among the action items I would continuously de-prioritize. Released changed this for me by effortlessly generating release notes straight from Jira tickets.

Be different.

Don’t make your customer communication look like everyone else’s.

Few customization options.

One Beamer portal looks like the next. Beamer provides few customization options.

Multiple themes.

Released portals look and feel like your brand with various theming and customization options. You can also embed them directly into your website or app.

We’ve shared Released with our stakeholders today: They loved it. This is going to simplify their lives, specially when it comes to sales, so much. So again thank you! You’re already providing us with a lot of value.

Actively maintained.

Beamer merged with Userflow in 2023. But instead of the promised “increased investment in products” we’ve seen few updates since.

Few updates.

Beamer’s velocity has significantly slowed down since the merger, with no releases between June 2023 and June 2024.

Weekly releases.

Released is evolving fast with updates published weekly to the public changelog.

Communicate with Released

Create a unified hub for all your product updates and roadmaps. Whether it’s the sales, marketing, support, or your customers—everyone knows exactly where to find the latest roadmap and product updates.

And so much more.

Beamer does a few things really well. But a lot of things not at all.

Single app. Never leave Jira to update your roadmap or publish your release notes.

User management. No separate app means no separate accounts to maintain.

Embeds. Seamlessly embed Released in your website or app

Templates. Keep your post formatting consistent with templates.

Roadmap ordering. Communicate priorities by ordering your roadmap items.

Dark mode. Support for dark mode makes the roadmap look great on any website.

Full page changelog widget. Embed a full page changelog directly in your website or app.

Video support. Add a Loom, Youtube or your own hosted videos for more context.

Multiple changelogs. Create a separate changelog for each product or team

Loved by builders.

Join the growing number of product teams who leverage Released to simplify communication with customers and stakeholders.

We struggled finding a solution that allows us to communicate product updates internally and externally. Released makes it so easy.

Being able to create something I actually dare put on my website, just out of my existing Jira issues and almost zero effort, is mind-blowing. Great job!

Love the product and found it useful as a tool to help us reduce time it takes to get our go to market plans published.

We canceled our expensive Productboard subscription the week we found Released. It gives us the beautiful public roadmaps and customer feedback loops we actually use, natively inside Jira, without paying for features we alrleady have in Jira.

Using this app, writing release notes has become much simpler! I can easily control it from my Jira project and synchronize all of the information on our website and documentation. With its neat UI and AI-powered capabilities, you won’t be disappointed. Give it a try!
