LaunchNotes is one tile. Gleap is the whole board.
LaunchNotes does changelog and roadmap announcements well. Gleap does roadmap and changelog too - then adds AI support, in-app bug reporting with session replay, feature voting, surveys, and a knowledge base. One platform, flat $149/mo, unlimited seats.
Changelog + release notes
Feature voting + roadmap
Plus AI support (Kai)
Plus in-app bug reporting
LaunchNotes broadcasts. It doesn't collect the signal.
LaunchNotes is built to announce what already shipped. Gleap closes the loop: Kai PM auto-captures requests from support chats, bug reports, NPS, and in-app messages, clusters them with AI, then scores by revenue impact - so the changelog writes itself from real demand.
Gleap feature requests board with vote counts, clustered by Kai PM into a revenue-weighted roadmap.
LaunchNotes is sales-gated and priced per project user
LaunchNotes hides pricing behind a sales call and bills per project user; public buyer data shows contracts averaging around $19k/yr. Gleap Team is a flat $149/mo with unlimited seats and Kai included; Pro adds Kai PM, Kai Code, and Kai Resolve. AI usage is billed by actual tokens and selected model.
Gleap public roadmap portal included in the flat $149/mo Team plan.
Public roadmap + changelog
Everything LaunchNotes is known for - voting boards, release notes, custom domain, branding.
Plus Kai support
Kai resolves routine inbound with usage billed by actual tokens and selected model. LaunchNotes has no support layer.
Plus Kai Code
Bug reports become pull requests. LaunchNotes has no bug reporting or session replay.
Plus Kai PM
Auto-captures and clusters feedback, scores by revenue, writes release notes. No manual board curation.

What you gain: Kai (AI support)
LaunchNotes has no support inbox.
When a customer reads your changelog and has a question, LaunchNotes sends them elsewhere. Kai resolves around 80% of tier-1 inbound automatically - in the same widget, across email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Telegram - so the announcement and the answer live in one place.

What you gain: Kai Code (bug reporting)
Bug reports become pull requests.
LaunchNotes announces fixes after they ship, but has nowhere to receive a bug. Kai Code captures the session replay, console logs, network requests, and full context the moment a user reports an issue, then moves confirmed bugs through plan mode, build mode, and a pull request.

“One platform, less hassle.”
Teams replace a stack of point tools - changelog, roadmap, support, and bug reporting - with a single Gleap workspace. One login, one bill, one place customers actually use.
