AnnounceKit pricing 2026: the board is $39, not $129

AnnounceKit dropped its plan ladder. Each product now works standalone and prices add up, so a changelog alone starts at forty nine dollars a month billed yearly and the voting board is a separate thirty nine dollar a month product rather than a feature locked behind a higher tier.

Everything below was read on AnnounceKit's own pricing page on 2 October 2026, from the page's own monthly and yearly price attributes.

What does AnnounceKit cost now?

Six products, each billed on its own, plus add-ons that apply across whichever products you buy. Every workspace includes 10,000 monthly active users and 3 team members per product, and AnnounceKit's own page still says "Never per-seat."

Product Monthly Yearly (per month)
Changelog $59 $49
Feature Requests & Roadmap (the voting board) $49 $39
Knowledge Base $69 $55
NPS $59 $49
In-app Notifications $99 $79
Product Tours $69 $55

Add-ons that apply across every product in the workspace, monthly and yearly per month: Email $49/$39, Unlimited Team & RBAC $39/$29, Segmentation & User Tracking $49/$39, Custom Branding $39/$29, Globalize $49/$39, Private & Authenticated $59/$49, Legal & Compliance $49/$39, Whitelabel $59/$49, SSO & SAML $99/$79, Audit Log $29/$25.

How has AnnounceKit's price changed?

Growth, the plan that carried feature voting in the September 2026 capture, cost $119 a month in June 2021 and $149 in September 2026. Read live on 3 October 2026, the voting board is its own product at $49 a month, $39 on the yearly rate.

Every plan rose between the August and December 2022 captures: Essentials from $59 to $89 a month, Growth from $119 to $149 and Scale from $299 to $399. Between the September 2026 capture and the 3 October 2026 read, AnnounceKit dropped the shared ladder and gave each product its own price.

What a realistic bundle costs

Nobody buys one line item in isolation, so here is what the common combinations actually add up to.

Bundle Monthly Yearly (per month)
Changelog alone $59 $49
Changelog plus the voting board $108 $88
Plus email $157 $127
Plus unlimited team $196 $156

Fourteen day trial of Pro, card asked for at signup. Nothing here counts the people who vote, so the bill does not move when the board starts working. The long version, with what happens if you stop paying.

Nine dollars a month for one project on VoteFirst, with the board and weighted voting both included from the first plan.

What counts toward the 10,000 MAU, and what happens past it

The 10,000 monthly active users is included once per workspace, not once per product. Past that number, AnnounceKit's page states a flat $25 per extra 5,000 MAU a month, with no hard cutoff.

At 25,000 MAU that is 15,000 over the included amount, three blocks of 5,000, so $75 a month on top of whatever products and add-ons you are running. At 50,000 MAU it is 40,000 over, eight blocks, so $200 a month on top.

Every product includes the API and webhooks, an MCP server, two factor authentication, and Google or Microsoft sign in, whatever your MAU count is.

An Enterprise tier exists from $799 a month billed annually, covering every product and add-on for one project, 100,000 MAU included, with overage at $20 per 5,000 past that.

Does AnnounceKit have a free plan?

No. The trial is 15 days with full access and no credit card. A startup programme cuts 50 percent off any single product for 12 months for companies that qualify.

If the board is what you came for, a trial here is 14 days with a card at signup and the bill after it is $9 or $39 a month.

Which product has the voting board now?

Feature Requests & Roadmap, at thirty nine dollars a month billed yearly, on its own, with no changelog purchase required first.

That is the change that matters most against the old ladder. The board used to sit behind a $129 a month Growth plan that also carried the changelog. Now it is a standalone product, and a team that only wants the board does not pay for publishing tools it will not use.

What is the unit?

The unit is still the product, not the seat. AnnounceKit's own page repeats "Never per-seat," and every product includes 3 team members with Unlimited Team & RBAC as the add-on that lifts the cap.

So a company running the changelog and the board with no add-ons pays for two products and gets six team seats across them, not six seats shared. A company that needs more than three people on any one product buys Unlimited Team & RBAC for that workspace.

Does AnnounceKit weight votes by revenue?

Nothing on the pages read on 2 October 2026 mentions vote weight, customer revenue or a tier multiplier. Segmentation & User Tracking, an add-on across every product, is about who sees which announcement rather than about what a vote is worth.

What does this cost on VoteFirst?

Nine dollars a month for one project, thirty nine for unlimited projects and a team.

AnnounceKit's board on its own is now thirty nine dollars a month billed yearly, which is the same number as VoteFirst's top plan and four times VoteFirst's entry plan. If the board alone is the whole need, the two prices are close enough that the deciding factor is the rest of each product rather than the number on the invoice.

The alternative page goes through what each one includes. The whole category table puts this price beside the rest, and VoteFirst's is here.

14 days, a card at signup, then $9 or $39 a month.
