AnnounceKit Pricing at a Glance
AnnounceKit is a product-communication platform — changelog, in-app widgets, email updates, feedback boards, and NPS — priced flat per project rather than by seats or monthly active users. These are the official prices from announcekit.app/pricing, verified July 2026:
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | Team members |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $89/mo | $79/mo | 1 user |
| Growth | $149/mo | $129/mo | Unlimited |
| Scale | $399/mo | $339/mo | Unlimited |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | |
| AnnounceKit NPS (separate product) | $49/mo | $42/mo | — |
Annual billing saves 15% across the board. There is a 15-day free trial with full Scale-plan features and no credit card required, plus a 7-day refund policy on all plans. There is no permanent free plan — when the trial ends, your project goes read-only until you subscribe.
What Each Plan Includes
Essentials — $79/mo annual ($89 monthly)
The entry plan covers the core announcement loop: the hosted changelog, all widget types, email updates, comments and reactions, the AI post editor, basic branding, a roadmap, and post analytics. The catch is the seat limit — Essentials includes exactly one team member. The moment a second person needs to publish updates, you're shopping for Growth.
Growth — $129/mo annual ($149 monthly)
Growth is where AnnounceKit becomes a team tool: unlimited team members at no per-seat cost, user tracking and segmentation, a custom changelog URL, feature-request boards, advanced analytics, and standard integrations like Slack and Zapier. For most SaaS teams seriously evaluating AnnounceKit, this is the realistic starting price.
Scale — $339/mo annual ($399 monthly)
Scale adds the reach and control features: post boosters, in-app notifications, multi-language support, automated email digests, custom SMTP, custom CSS, private changelogs, and SSO/SAML.
Enterprise — custom pricing
Enterprise is quote-based and adds role-based access control, white-labeling, a dedicated account manager, private Slack support, SOC 2 report access, annual security reviews, and custom contracts.
The Costs That Surprise People
- The entry plan is single-seat. $79–89/month buys one login. Teams effectively start at Growth ($129–149/month).
- NPS is a separate product. Surveys aren't part of any base plan — AnnounceKit NPS is its own $42–49/month subscription on top.
- Removing AnnounceKit branding requires Enterprise. Every self-serve tier keeps AnnounceKit's branding on your widgets and changelog; white-labeling is exclusive to the custom-priced tier.
- The trial demos the top self-serve tier. Your 15-day trial runs full Scale features, so check which of the features you liked survive on the plan you actually intend to buy.
- Per-project pricing multiplies. Flat pricing is genuinely good news for large audiences — no MAU meters — but each product you run is its own subscription.
Is AnnounceKit Worth It?
If the job is making updates visible, AnnounceKit is one of the strongest tools in the category: ten-plus widget formats, segmentation, email digests, feedback boards, and a roadmap in one flat-priced platform. Its pricing model rewards products with big audiences, since costs don't scale with user counts the way MAU-priced rivals like Beamer do — see our full Beamer vs AnnounceKit comparison.
What no AnnounceKit plan includes is the writing. Its AI editor polishes a draft you describe, but every announcement still starts with someone typing what shipped. You're paying for distribution, not content.
AnnounceKit Alternatives by Budget
- Herald (from $16/mo) — a GitHub-native changelog tool whose AI drafts releases from your merged PRs. A fraction of the price, but changelog-only.
- Shipstar (free plan; Solo from $20/mo) — generates the changelog and the release notes, social posts, blog posts, and newsletters from your GitHub activity, publishing everywhere from one approval.
- LaunchNotes (from $249/mo) — the step up in price: enterprise product comms with SSO, audit logs, and a Jira-centric workflow.
