The AnnounceKit alternative.

Requests end in a shipped release, and the release note stays connected to the request, the support conversation and the fix, so every customer who asked hears back. Customers vote and read updates in the same widget where Kai Support answers questions, and Kai Copilot merges duplicate requests while Kai Code prepares the pull request for approved work. AnnounceKit fits teams that want a dedicated product communication tool beside the helpdesk they already use.

AnnounceKit is a focused product communication platform. One post reaches a changelog page on your domain, 10+ in-app widget modes, email, Slack and RSS. Since its current pricing, each product is sold separately per project: Changelog, Feature Requests & Roadmap, Knowledge Base, NPS, In-app Notifications and Product Tours, with add-ons for email, segmentation, SSO and more. It offers AI help in the post editor, an MCP server with every product, native iOS, Android and Flutter SDKs and integrations with Slack, Jira, Intercom, Segment and Zapier. See announcekit.app.

It depends on the products, projects and team size you need. On monthly billing, AnnounceKit charges $59 for Changelog and $49 for Feature Requests & Roadmap per project, each with 3 team members; email updates add $49 and unlimited team members $39 a month. One project with all four costs $196 a month, and each further project needs its own license. Annual billing saves about 20%, for example Changelog drops from $59 to $49. Gleap Starter is $29/month billed annually ($35 monthly); Team is $179 a month on monthly billing or $149 billed annually, with unlimited projects, seats and every Kai agent. Features, AI usage and taxes differ. USD list prices, checked September 25, 2026; see AnnounceKit pricing and Gleap plans.

Per project and per product, not per seat. AnnounceKit’s pricing page states that a license covers one project, every product includes 3 team members and the Unlimited Team & RBAC add-on ($39/month flat) adds unlimited members; every workspace includes 10,000 monthly active users. Gleap Team includes unlimited seats and projects; plan usage limits still apply and AI usage is billed separately.

Team, Pro and Enterprise include Kai Code and Kai Support’s investigations, plus feature requests and the roadmap, with unlimited seats and projects. Starter includes Kai Support, Kai Copilot, live chat and in-app bug reports for one seat. AI usage is billed separately on every plan.

Plan it as a pilot, not a bulk import. No native AnnounceKit importer is assumed, so export the posts, requests and subscriber lists you still need and keep the old changelog URL reachable. Install the Gleap SDK on one project, publish a release note to the News tab, email and pop-up, collect a few requests, then switch the widget when the team is ready. Review the Gleap Trust Center before rollout.

Gleap publishes this page. AnnounceKit’s pricing page was rechecked on 25 September 2026, after AnnounceKit moved to per-product pricing. Its homepage, features page, changelog and feature request use-case pages, integrations page and MCP page were checked on 15 September 2026. Gleap claims follow current product and plan evidence. Customer quotations describe their attributed experience with Gleap, not a measured comparison with AnnounceKit.

Yes. AnnounceKit’s AI post generator drafts two alternatives from a description, and its MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents create, publish and schedule posts, read feedback and update the roadmap. AnnounceKit’s pricing page lists the MCP server with every product. Gleap brings Kai Support into support, Kai Copilot into the request itself and, from Team, Kai Code.

Yes. A release note in Gleap goes to email subscribers, appears as an in-app pop-up and stays in the widget’s News tab, with a changelog on your own domain. Merged pull requests and released requests can become suggested drafts. Explore release notes.

Yes. Customers submit and upvote requests inside the widget or on the public portal and subscribe to updates; when your team posts an update on a released request, everyone who voted gets it by email. Your team sets the roadmap stages. Explore the public roadmap.

Kai Copilot merges duplicate requests, links each to the customers who asked and drafts the changelog when it ships. Your team decides what goes on the roadmap and approves the request and repositories before Kai Copilot starts a Kai Code session. Explore feedback prioritization.

A customer’s request supplies the need. Gleap connects it to a priority decision, a pull request your engineers review and the release note that tells the customer it shipped. Explore self-driving development.
