Why teams switch from Headway
AI writes it for you
Paste your bullet points and Claude turns them into a polished changelog entry. Headway has zero AI features — you're writing everything from scratch every time you ship.
Flat $29/mo — not $29–$99+
Headway charges based on tracked users, so your bill grows as your product grows. Changelog AI is a flat $29/month regardless of how many people read your changelog.
More projects, same price
Headway limits you to 3 projects on Pro and charges $99/month for unlimited projects. Changelog AI Pro includes unlimited projects at $29/month.
Founders deal available
Pay $299 once and use Changelog AI forever. No subscription anxiety, no annual price increases. Headway has no lifetime option.
