Changebot vs AnnounceKit
A Better Way to Ship Product Updates
AnnounceKit makes you write every update by hand. Changebot generates them from your commits with AI — then publishes everywhere.
TL;DR
- → AI-generated updates from your actual commits — no manual writing
- → 15+ embeddable widget themes vs basic widget options
- → $99/mo includes features AnnounceKit charges $129–$339/mo for
- → Editions, Recaps, AI Chat, Tags — features AnnounceKit doesn't have at any price

Things AnnounceKit Does That We Don't
AnnounceKit has a few features we don't offer. If these are must-haves for your team, they might be the better fit.
What Only Changebot Does
AI-Powered from Source Code
Changebot reads your commits and generates human-readable updates automatically. Co-write with AI chat to iterate. AnnounceKit requires you to write every word manually.
Draft Together: AI Chat Now in Update Builder ↗Editions, Recaps & Spotlight
Generate channel-specific variants with Editions, summarize sprints with Recaps, or highlight a single feature with Spotlight. AnnounceKit has none of these workflows.
One Update, Many Voices: Meet Editions ↗Multi-Source Integrations
Pull from GitHub, Bitbucket, Jira, and Linear in one workspace. AnnounceKit only offers Jira — and only on its Growth tier at $129/mo.
Bitbucket Integration Now Available ↗15+ Widget Themes & Preview
Embed your changelog with developer-friendly themes like Catppuccin, Gruvbox, and Dracula. Preview live with generated React, Vue, or HTML code. AnnounceKit offers a basic widget.
Introducing Widget Preview ↗Publish Everywhere at Once
Push updates to your changelog, Slack, Webflow, widgets, and RSS simultaneously. AnnounceKit keeps your updates siloed.
Publish Once, Reach Them All ↗More Features, Less Money
To match what Changebot includes at $99/mo, you'd need AnnounceKit's Scale tier at $339/mo — and you still wouldn't get AI-generated updates, Editions, Recaps, or source code integrations.
