AnnounceKit is the larger product: changelog, roadmap, feature voting, segmentation, NPS and SSO in one suite, priced for teams that want all of it. Onset does the changelog half and charges a fraction of the price. This page is mostly about which half you actually need.
AnnounceKit starts at $89 a month after a 15-day trial. The Onset free plan runs a changelog indefinitely with unlimited releases, a custom domain, the widget, the REST API and 1,000 email subscribers.
AnnounceKit Essentials is $89 a month for one team member, and unlimited seats start on Growth at $149. Onset includes five on the $30 Team plan and unlimited on Business at $60.
AnnounceKit has roadmaps, feature voting, segmentation, user tracking, multi-language, in-app notifications and SSO that Onset does not. If your team needs those, they are the better fit. If you need a changelog your customers read, the same job is $30 against $149.

Figures are for one changelog site. Both tools bill per site — what AnnounceKit calls a “project” is the same unit as an Onset workspace.

These figures are for one changelog site, which is one project on AnnounceKit and one workspace on Onset. Their pricing page says to pick a plan for each project, and their docs show a project owning its own languages, subscribers and widgets.
AnnounceKit has no free plan. The cheapest way to keep a changelog running past their 15-day trial is $89 a month.
AnnounceKit does not meter subscribers — their plans are unlimited on visitors, posts and subscribers. The subscriber slider therefore only moves the Onset side of this comparison.
Their Enterprise plan is priced on request, so the calculator stops at Scale. Removing AnnounceKit branding is an Enterprise-only feature and is not modelled here.
Prices shown are monthly list. AnnounceKit takes about 15% off for annual billing, which works out at $79, $129 and $339.
Both columns show list prices billed monthly. AnnounceKit pricing last checked August 12, 2026.
