How ReleasePad compares
Most changelog tools charge per seat or per MAU. ReleasePad charges per product, so a 50-person engineering team pays the same as a solo founder.

Common pricing questions
Built and maintained by the ReleasePad team · Last updated
Start free with a limited number of posts, no credit card, no time limit. You get the public changelog page and the basic widget. Upgrade to Pro when you're ready for unlimited posts, analytics, the full widget, GitHub integration, and API access.
Each product gets its own changelog, widget, and public page. Pricing is $35/mo per product — no per-seat fees, no MAU multipliers. A team of 50 engineers pays the same as a solo founder for the same product.
No. Pro is $35/mo per product, regardless of how many teammates write or read entries, and regardless of how many monthly users see the widget. Tools that scale price with MAU punish you for growing — we don't.
Pro is billed monthly at $35 by default. Annual billing is available on request — email felix@releasepad.io if you'd prefer one invoice a year.
Yes. No contracts, no lock-in. Cancel from your account settings in one click — your changelog stays accessible until the end of the billing period, and you can re-enable Pro any time without losing your data.
Yes. Downgrading drops you to the free tier — your posts stay published, the public page stays live, and you can export everything to Markdown at any time. Cancelling deactivates billing but your historical entries remain exportable on request.
All major credit cards via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). Billing is in USD. For invoicing, annual prepayment, or alternative payment methods, email felix@releasepad.io directly.
Yes — open source projects and registered non-profits can get Pro for free. Reach out at felix@releasepad.io with a link to your repo or org and we'll set you up.
