Free changelog tools, compared by what the free plan gives you
Five of the seven tools here have a free plan. The limits are different in each, so check the one that matters to you: posts, users, or the widget.
Free plans
- Headway: unlimited changelogs, a public page and a customizable widget. Custom domain and team management are on Pro ($29/mo).
- Beamer: up to 1,000 monthly active users and 1 teammate.
- Changedrop: 1 project, up to 25 posts, the widget and 100 subscribers.
- ReleasePad: a limited number of posts, a public page and a basic widget.
- Olvy: 1 builder and unlimited release notes.
- No free plan: AnnounceKit (15-day trial) and LaunchNotes (trial after a demo).
Or skip the tool
A changelog can be a plain page on your own site: newest first, a date and a heading on each entry, and an RSS feed if your site can make one. You lose the in-app widget and subscriber emails, but there’s nothing to pay for or maintain.
