What is LaunchNotes?
LaunchNotes is a changelog tool supporting the creation of release notes and product updates. Additionally it can be used to create product roadmaps, and collect product user feedback.
Use Cases:
Public Changelog: LaunchNotes includes rich text editor and customizable HTML and CSS ensure every detail of announcements are engaging and on brand.
Secure Changelogs: Because not every product announcement is applicable to everyone, and some announcements shouldn't be shared publicly, the software enables users to reach out with specific customers and teams access to a changelog tailored specifically to them.
Custom Categories: Categories help ensure every announcement only reaches the relevant users who need to know about them. They can be customized to map to any business, product line, or org structure.
Public Roadmaps: The roadmap is not only a place for users to see what is being worked on, but also to follow any items they're interested in. Whenever an item ships, there's immediate follow-up with everyone who care most.
Work Items: Work items can be as detailed as desired, and include a description of what's coming, attach prototypes and mock-ups, and update the status and completion dates to keep everyone aligned.
Subscriber Management: As users vote and leave feedback on roadmap items, the user can build a targeted list of users to engage for additional feedback, early access programs, beta testing, and customer testimonials.
Announcement Workflows: Announcement workflows allow the user to put a changelog on autopilot. The user can choose the audience segments who need to see it, hit publish, and let LaunchNotes do the rest.
Email Announcements: LaunchNotes turns every announcement into a custom email, then delivers it to relevant subscribers (also, the user can send out announcements through Slack via its integration).
Embedded Widget: Whether it's embedded in an app, on a login page, or anywhere across the marketing site, an announcement and updates can reach the user from within the product.
Custom Feedback Manager: Customer feedback can be used to capture and measure the sentiment of product updates, prioritize and improve future product investments, and the feedback stays private, so only the user can see it.
Changelog Analytics: After delivering the features users have been waiting for, LaunchNotes can be used to automatically track and measure the success of the announcement.
Custom Branding: LaunchNotes comes ready, out-of-the-box, to ensure the changelog is a natural extension of a company's unique brand and voice.

Cons: Limited customization options: Some users have expressed a desire for more customization features, such as applying custom branding to LaunchNotes pages and emails, on the Essentials tier. While they understand the additional charge on the Business tier, they feel that having these features available at a lower level would enhance their experience. Lack of comprehensive analytics: A few reviewers have mentioned that they would like to see more comprehensive analytics when announcing new features, including open and engagement metrics. Although the LaunchNotes team is actively working on this feature, some users are currently missing these insights. Missing integrations: A Microsoft Teams integration has been requested by several users who find value in the existing Slack integration. They are aware that the company is already working on a Teams integration which may eliminate this con in the future. Additionally, some users suggest an integration with Zapier as a cool addition to further streamline their workflow. Note: Other cons mentioned include suggestions for improvements or enhancements but were not as commonly mentioned as the three highlighted cons above.
