Canny offers several plans to cover every team's needs. You can get started with our free changelog tools. If you need more powerful features and integrations, you can upgrade to a Growth or a Business plan.
We offer a lot more than just a product changelog tool and release notes software. Canny has a suite of tools to help a product manager build better products. That includes feedback management solutions, prioritization tools, roadmapping tools, and a wide range of integrations to other product tools.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences.
They're different types of product updates and are usually written differently. Both describe changes or new features. Release notes are written for less technical audiences though. A changelog entry is more technical and often intended for developers and engineers. It ultimately comes down to what the purpose of your update is.
Canny lets you write both types. It's like release notes management software and a changelog tool in one.
You can add unlimited contributors to your Canny account, so we encourage you to include anyone that can help in building your product. That includes letting customer success and sales record customer feedback. Product management can review feedback, prioritize features, and plan your roadmap. Finally, your software development team can learn more about customers' challenges when building features. Even marketers can learn about common pain points, and use the release notes tool in their campaigns.
