Most changelog tools charge by monthly active users or by project, so the price you see on day one is rarely the one you pay a year later. Plug in your numbers.

Month-to-month list prices; most vendors take 15–20% off for annual billing. Assumes Beamer and Headway serve several products from one account (MAU added together) and AnnounceKit needs one license per project, as its pricing page states. Free plans count even with vendor branding shown.
| Fizlog | Free for 1 project; Pro $9.99/mo for unlimited projects. No MAU or visitor limits. |
| Beamer | Free up to 1,000 MAU; Starter $59 (5,000 MAU), Pro $119 (10,000), Scale $299 (50,000); +$50 per extra 5,000 MAU. source ↗ |
| AnnounceKit | No free plan. Changelog $59 per project with 10,000 MAU; +$25 per extra 5,000 MAU. source ↗ |
| Noticeable | Free for 1 watermarked project; Starter $29 (1 project), Growth $79 (2), Business $159 (3), Enterprise $399. source ↗ |
| Headway | Free with Headway branding; Pro $29 for white-label and a custom domain. source ↗ |
| Canny | Priced by tracked users — people who post, vote or comment — not by visitors: free for 25, Pro from $79/mo billed yearly for 100+, moving up a tier automatically as you grow. Not in the calculator because it depends on how much feedback you collect. source ↗ |
Checked October 2026 on each vendor's own pricing page. Vendors change plans, so confirm on their site before deciding.
A changelog is read by a small share of your users, but per-MAU plans bill you for every active user. A good launch day — a Product Hunt feature, a Hacker News post — can push you into the next tier for the whole month. Per-project pricing has the same effect for indie makers with a portfolio of small apps: the third product triples the bill.
Fizlog charges neither way: one project is free, and $9.99/mo covers unlimited projects and unlimited users. The detailed comparisons cover features too: vs Beamer, vs AnnounceKit, vs Noticeable, vs Headway, vs Canny.
