ReleaseNotes

AI-powered changelog and release notes tool for sharing product updates with users

Visit ReleaseNotes

ReleaseNotes.io is a changelog and release notes platform that helps teams turn development activity into product updates and distribute them to customers. It addresses the manual work of summarizing changes, publishing release information, and keeping users informed about what has shipped.

The platform includes AI Smart Releases, which generate release notes from pull requests and closed issues, plus an in-app popup or banner widget with an unread badge, a hosted release site with customizable templates, and email notifications for subscribers. Releases can be public or private. Integrations cover Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Slack, and Zapier, with API access available on higher tiers. Custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are supported for branding, and the hosted site is mobile responsive.

ReleaseNotes.io is aimed at product teams, developers, and customer-facing teams that need to publish updates consistently. It is packaged in three per-project plans: a free Starter plan with a hosted site, one team member, and limited release history; a paid Teams plan adding AI Smart Releases, widgets, email subscribers, unlimited releases and team members, integrations, premium themes, tagging, and analytics; and a paid Business plan adding unlimited email subscribers, custom themes, a custom domain, private releases, and invoice billing.
