FAQs
What features are included in the 14-day LaunchNotes free trial?
The LaunchNotes free trial provides full access to our premium release notes software, allowing you to experience the power of automated product communication firsthand. During the 14-day period, you can integrate with Jira automated release notes to see how easily you can generate release notes from your existing tickets. You will also have access to our public product roadmap tools and the in-app messaging software widget. This trial is designed to show your product management team how to automate release notes and improve product team alignment without any upfront financial commitment or requiring a credit card to get started.
Can I test the in-app changelog widget during my free trial period?
Yes, the trial includes full access to our in-app changelog widget, which is one of our most popular in-app messaging tools. You can embed the widget directly into your application to see how a new feature announcement ui improves user adoption. This allows you to test changelog best practices by delivering technical updates directly to users while they are active in your software. By using the trial to automate release notes and display them in-app, you can measure how product update announcement visibility impacts support ticket volume and feature discovery before deciding on a permanent subscription.
Does the free trial include access to product update email notifications?
Absolutely. During your trial, you can set up and send product update email notifications to a test group of subscribers. You can use our product update email template to ensure your branding is consistent and professional. This allows you to see how product update emails can drive adoption by bringing users back into your app. LaunchNotes makes it easy to track engagement metrics, so you can see the impact of your new feature announcement campaigns. Testing this during the trial helps your product management team understand the value of a dedicated release notes app for customer retention.
How easy is it to set up the Jira automated release notes during the trial?
Setting up Jira automated release notes is one of the first things we recommend doing in your LaunchNotes trial. Our jira release management plugin is designed for quick installation, allowing you to sync your Jira projects in minutes. Once connected, you can automate release notes by pulling in ticket descriptions and metadata directly. This feature demonstrates the efficiency of our release management tool, saving your team hours of manual work. By testing this automation, you can see how LaunchNotes streamlines the release management lifecycle and ensures that your product release notes are always accurate and up-to-date.
Will I have access to the public product roadmap tool during the trial?
Yes, the public product roadmap tool is fully functional during the 14-day trial. You can create a visual product roadmap to share your future plans with stakeholders or a select group of customers. This feature is vital for product team alignment, as it provides a clear view of upcoming features and "idea voting" capabilities. LaunchNotes helps you build trust through transparency. By using the trial to create a public roadmap, you can gather early feedback on your plans and see how a roadmap visualization tool improves customer sentiment and excitement for your product's direction.
Can I customize the release notes template to match my brand in the trial?
Customization is a key part of the LaunchNotes experience, and it is fully available during your free trial. You can edit our release notes template to include your logo, colors, and specific font styles. This ensures that every new product announcement feels like a native part of your brand ecosystem. Whether you are using a software release notes template or creating a custom layout, you can ensure a consistent look across your in-app messaging software and product update emails. This professional polish is essential for driving user adoption and establishing your product management organization as a leader in the market.
Is there a limit on the number of team members I can invite during the trial?
LaunchNotes encourages collaboration, so we allow you to invite your entire product management team to explore the platform during the 14-day trial. This is a great way to test product team alignment and see how different roles—from PMs to PMMs—interact with the release management tool. You can assign permissions and see who writes release notes best within your current product team structure. By involving multiple stakeholders, you can get a holistic view of how LaunchNotes will improve your product launch communication plan and internal synergy before the trial ends and you choose a plan.
How does LaunchNotes compare to Beamer or Canny during the trial phase?
During your trial, you will quickly see why LaunchNotes is the preferred Beamer alternative and Canny alternative for growing SaaS companies. While those tools offer basic changelogs, LaunchNotes provides a deep Jira release management plugin and advanced product team alignment features. Our trial allows you to compare the depth of our automated release notes and the robustness of our visual product roadmap. You will notice that LaunchNotes is built for the entire release management process, offering more than just a simple "post-it" widget. The trial proves that we provide a more scalable and integrated solution for modern product teams.
What happens to my data after the 14-day trial ends?
If you decide not to subscribe after your trial, your data, including your release notes templates and public roadmap, will be securely archived. If you choose to upgrade to a paid plan, everything you built—including your Jira automated release notes settings—will be ready for continued use. LaunchNotes makes the transition from trial to paid subscriber seamless. We recommend using the trial to establish your release management lifecycle so that you can hit the ground running. Our goal is to ensure that your experience with our release notes tool provides a clear path to long-term user adoption and success.
Is support available if I have questions during my free trial?
Yes, we provide excellent support even during the free trial period. Our team is available to help you set up your changelog tool or troubleshoot your jira automated release notes integration. We want to ensure you get the most out of our release notes software. You can also access our extensive documentation, which includes release notes examples and guides on how to write software release notes. LaunchNotes is committed to your success from day one. Whether you need help with release notes design or understanding internal product communication best practices, we are here to support your product management team.
