LaunchNotes pricing has exactly one number on it. Growth is two hundred and forty nine dollars a month billed annually, and it carries one page and two users. Everything above that is Premium, and Premium is quoted rather than priced.
Two hundred and forty nine is the highest entry price of any product in this comparison, and the unit it is charged on is a page rather than a seat or a board.
Everything below was read on the LaunchNotes pricing page on 14 September 2026.
How much does LaunchNotes cost?
Two hundred and forty nine dollars a month on the only plan with a number.
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Growth | $249, billed annually |
| Premium | Custom, billed annually |
- Growth includes 1 page, 2 users, their AI draft writer, an MCP server, the in app widget, the release notes module, the roadmap module, feedback management, and single sign on with JWT.
- Premium includes everything above, plus advanced segmentation, AI tone and voice, full white labelling, multiple pages, a custom user count, SAML, audit logs, a custom SLA, a dedicated account manager, concierge design and backlog migration.
Growth is a substantial plan. Single sign on is inside the entry price, which most of this category puts on its top tier, and the roadmap and feedback modules are included rather than sold separately.
How has LaunchNotes's price changed?
LaunchNotes had a free plan, Basic at $0 a month, in April 2021. By July 2021 that plan was gone. The cheapest plan on 3 October 2026 is Growth at $249 a month billed annually, a figure first seen in January 2025.

LaunchNotes has renamed and replaced its plans several times. The free Basic plan and the Essentials, Premium, Business and Team names from 2021 and 2022 are gone, and so is the $79 Starter plan seen in the captures from January to March 2025. The current plans, Growth and the custom priced Premium, have carried one page and two users on Growth since at least January 2025.
Does LaunchNotes have a free plan?
No, and no free tier is published anywhere on their pricing page read on 14 September 2026.

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.
What is the wall on Growth?
The wall on Growth is the second page and the third user, and neither has a published rate.
Growth is one page and two users. A company that wants a second announcement page, for a second product or a second audience, is on Premium, and so is a company whose third colleague needs a login.
Nothing on the page prices either step, so the second page and the third user both cost a sales conversation rather than a figure.
That is a real difference from the rest of this category, where a second board or a second seat is usually a published number.
It is also why the annual figure matters more here than the monthly one. Growth is two thousand nine hundred and eighty eight dollars a year, and the next step has no number at all.
Nine dollars a month for one project, with weighted voting on it.
Is the roadmap module the same as a public roadmap?
It is their own module and it sits inside the same subscription, so there is no separate line for it.
The LaunchNotes API is GraphQL, with read tokens, management tokens and webhooks beside it, and LaunchNotes exports feedback as a CSV. Those three are on Growth rather than held back for the quoted tier, which is consistent with how much the entry price carries.
What the entry price does not carry is a second page, and for a company with two products that is the whole decision. The rest of the comparison is on the alternative page.
Who is LaunchNotes for?
A company where the changelog is a programme with an owner rather than a page somebody updates.
At two hundred and forty nine dollars a month the product has to be doing more than publishing release notes, and it is. The segmentation, the audiences, the approvals and the concierge design at the top end are built for a team that announces to different customers differently.
A team that wants a changelog attached to the requests it shipped is buying something much smaller. Ten changelog tools are sorted by what they actually do, and the price range across them is about eight to one.
14 days, a card at signup, then $9 or $39 a month.
What does a changelog cost here?
Nine dollars a month, and it is not a separate product.
The changelog is written from the board. A release is a group of requests that reached the Completed column, and publishing it turns those cards into the entries, so nobody writes the same heading twice. The nine dollar plan carries it, along with the board, the roadmap page and the widgets.
The comparison is that LaunchNotes is a far larger product and VoteFirst's is a consequence of the board. If the changelog is the thing you are buying, theirs does more. Both figures are published and a card is required for the fourteen day trial.
