Looking for a Headway alternative?
Headway is a simple changelog for web apps: a public changelog page and a widget inside your product, written in a Markdown editor, with a free plan and a Pro plan. If you are looking at alternatives, here is what Headway does well, where FoxPlug works differently, and a side-by-side table where every Headway line links to Headway's own page.
How this page is made: each Headway line is taken from Headway's own public pages, with a link to the page, and was checked on 2026-09-30. If we could not find it on Headway's pages, we do not say it. We do not copy Headway's prices; the pricing row links to their pricing page. Every FoxPlug line links to the FoxPlug page that says it.

Where FoxPlug is different
FoxPlug does not ask you to write the update. It reads what you shipped, writes the update from it, drafts a post for each platform, and waits for you: nothing goes out until you approve it.
- It writes the update from your commits. FoxPlug reads the public releases and commits of your repository and writes the update in plain English. For a repository it reads the releases from the last 90 days and the commit messages from the last 30 days.foxplug.com/changelog-from-github
- It drafts a post for each platform. From the same work it drafts an X post, a LinkedIn post and a short post for Bluesky, Threads or Mastodon, each written about the actual changes.foxplug.com/build-in-public-posts
- You approve every post. Nothing is posted anywhere until you approve it.foxplug.com
- It says when there is nothing to write about. Each draft is checked against what was read, and a draft that fails the check is left out. If there is not enough recent activity to write about, FoxPlug says so rather than making something up.foxplug.com/changelog-from-github
- Your changelog page comes with it. Every project gets a public changelog page on foxplug.com listing what you shipped. On the paid plans, each project's changelog shows your own name, logo and colours.foxplug.com/pricing

Which one fits
Headway suits a team that wants a plain, hand-written changelog page and an in-product widget with very little setup. FoxPlug suits a builder who would rather not write the entry at all: the update is written from the commits, with a post drafted for each platform, approved before anything goes out.
