See how much AnnounceKit saves your team
Manual product updates eat hours every week. Writing release notes, formatting emails, updating multiple channels, managing subscribers. AnnounceKit automates the entire workflow.
The hidden cost of manual product updates
Writing & formatting
Each announcement needs a changelog post, an email version, a Slack message, and a social post. That's 4+ formats per update — manually.
Distribution
Copy-pasting to email tools, Slack channels, social media. Tracking who saw what. Managing unsubscribes. It adds up fast.
Coordination
Product, marketing, and CS aligning on what to say, when to say it, and to whom. Meetings, Slack threads, and shared docs.
Opportunity cost
Every hour spent on update logistics is an hour not spent building product, talking to customers, or analyzing engagement.

Frequently asked questions
How does AnnounceKit save time on product updates?
AnnounceKit replaces manual workflows — writing separate changelog posts, formatting emails, posting to Slack, and coordinating across teams. You write an update once and AnnounceKit delivers it across your changelog page, in-app widgets, email, Slack, and RSS automatically.
What does AnnounceKit cost?
AnnounceKit uses flat per-project pricing with no per-seat or MAU fees. Plans are available for teams of all sizes. Visit the pricing page for current plan details.
How is the ROI calculated?
The calculator estimates time and cost savings by comparing manual product update workflows against using AnnounceKit. It factors in the number of monthly announcements, emails, and in-app notifications you send, scaled by your monthly active users.
What inputs does the ROI calculator use?
You enter monthly active users, number of announcements per month, emails per month, and in-app notifications per month. The calculator uses industry assumptions for time spent on manual creation and distribution, then compares to AnnounceKit's single-write, multi-channel delivery.
Does AnnounceKit charge per seat or per MAU?
No. AnnounceKit uses flat per-project pricing. There are no per-seat fees and no MAU-based charges. You can add your whole team and reach unlimited users on your chosen plan.
How much time do manual product updates take?
Manual workflows typically require writing and formatting for each channel (changelog, email, Slack), distributing to each channel, and coordinating with stakeholders. The ROI calculator uses estimated hours per announcement and per email/notification, scaled by audience size.
Is there a free trial to try AnnounceKit?
Yes. AnnounceKit offers a 15-day free trial with all features included. No credit card required. You can run your own time comparison by using the product for a few updates.
What channels does AnnounceKit automate?
One post goes to your changelog page, in-app widgets, email digest subscribers, Slack channels, and RSS — automatically. No copying to multiple tools or maintaining separate lists.
Why do product teams use an ROI calculator for tools?
Product update workflows are often underestimated. An ROI calculator helps quantify time and cost saved by centralizing updates and automating distribution, so you can justify the investment with clear numbers.
Can I share the ROI results with my team?
Yes. Adjust the sliders to match your team's workflow and use the estimated monthly savings and ROI percentage in internal business cases or approval requests.
