Why teams switch

What Headway gets wrong

No emoji reactions

Headway has no way for users to react to updates. Annoto lets users express feedback with emoji reactions on every post.

No email subscriptions

Headway doesn't let users subscribe to changelog updates by email. Annoto sends beautiful email digests automatically.

No user segmentation

Every user sees the same updates. Annoto lets you target posts by plan, role, or any custom property from your app.
