# Relnotely vs Released

Released Hub is a Jira app priced per Jira user, from a free plan for up to 10 users to $1.10 and $1.70 per user a month, with AI-written release notes from your issues. Relnotely is a hosted changelog for any team at $19 a month, flat.

Released's pricing page describes Released Hub, an app inside Jira that drafts release notes from issues with AI and publishes them, priced per Jira user. Relnotely is a hosted changelog for any team, priced flat.

This page is written by Relnotely. Everything stated here about Released is taken from [Released's own pricing page](https://released.so/hub/pricing/), read on **28 September 2026**. Prices and plans change; check theirs before deciding, and tell us if anything here is out of date.

## What Released's pricing page listed on 28 September 2026

- **Free: $0 a month,** for up to 10 users with 2,000 AI tokens per user: unlimited idea portals, a feedback inbox, public roadmaps, AI-generated release notes, release note templates, automatic Jira issue linking, and publishing to Confluence and Slack.
- **Standard: $1.10 per user a month,** unlimited users, 10,000 AI tokens per user, and the "option to remove the Released Hub watermark".
- **Advanced: $1.70 per user a month,** unlimited users, 20,000 AI tokens per user, embeddable feedback forms, feedback via Slack, and premium support and onboarding.
- The page says a user is "someone with an active, licensed account on your Jira site", that the price falls with volume "to as little as $0.01 per user", and that the 30-day free trial starts from Jira.

A worked example, our arithmetic from their listed rate: a Jira site with 50 licensed users on Standard would be $55 a month before any volume discount.

## What Relnotely includes

One plan, $19 a month:

- Your changelog on your own domain, an in-app widget, and email to subscribers who confirm their address.
- A page of its own for every entry, and an Atom feed.
- Import from a feed, a CSV or a `CHANGELOG.md`.
- No Relnotely badge, watermark or "powered by" link on your changelog, on any plan. Our name appears in one place: the small print under the subscribe form, which says who stores an address entered there, and the footer's links to our privacy policy and terms for the same reason.
- No third-party scripts on your changelog.

Writing is free and needs no card; publishing starts a 7-day trial. One login per account, and one changelog.

## Where Released may suit you better

- **Your work is in Jira** and you want release notes drafted from the issues that shipped.
- **You want a roadmap and an idea portal** with the release notes, listed on every plan.
- **You publish to Confluence or Slack** as well as to a page.
- **Your Jira site is small.** Up to 10 users is listed at $0.

## Our view

Opinion, not a claim about Released: for a team already living in Jira, drafting from issues is a real saving of effort, and per-user pricing that falls with volume is a fair way to sell an app inside a suite. If your changelog is written for customers rather than assembled from tickets, and the people reading it will never see Jira, a flat $19 for a page on your own domain is the simpler thing to own.

## Moving from Released

Relnotely imports from an RSS or Atom feed, a CSV export or a `CHANGELOG.md`, keeping original dates and skipping duplicates. Nobody is emailed about imported entries, and previewing the import is free.
