Yes. Headway's free plan lists unlimited changelogs, public page and widget customization, custom categories and its Eyecatcher badge animation. For a changelog alone, that is more generous than ShipLog's free plan of one project, 10 feedback items and 10 changelog entries (including drafts).

How much does Headway cost compared to ShipLog?

Headway Pro is $29/mo, which is $348 over 12 months. Its site lists no yearly price. ShipLog Captain is $9/mo or $90/yr per project. Those are Headway's prices on headwayapp.co on November 6, 2026.

Does Headway include a feedback board?

Not that it lists. Headway's homepage and docs cover a changelog page, a widget and publishing tools, with no feedback board, voting or roadmap. ShipLog includes a feedback board with votes and status tracking on every plan. It has no roadmap view: each item has a status, and the public board filters by it.

Do Headway and ShipLog work with AI agents?

ShipLog has an MCP server on every plan, free included, which can read and triage feedback and publish changelog entries. Headway's homepage and docs do not mention MCP as of November 6, 2026. Its security page mentions a Headway API, but its docs do not document one.

What does Headway have that ShipLog does not?

A custom domain, scheduled publishing, a private changelog, search engine privacy and Slack and Twitter integrations, all on Pro, and unlimited changelogs on Free. ShipLog's changelog is public, and readers follow it by RSS.

How do I migrate from Headway to ShipLog?

There's no one-click importer yet. Copy out the posts you want to keep. Headway's own changelog has an RSS feed, and it held 20 posts, so older posts may need copying by hand. Then create a ShipLog project and connect its MCP server, which is open on every plan. Your AI agent can add each post with the create_changelog_entry tool. Email hello@shiplog.ca and we'll help you move.

Comparison

Headway alternative: ShipLog vs Headway pricing

Headway is a changelog and nothing else: a public page and an in-product widget, free for unlimited changelogs, with Pro at $29/mo. ShipLog is $9/mo per project and also collects the feedback: a voting board, status tracking and a widget that takes submissions. If you only need to announce updates, Headway's free plan may be all you need.
