Main Differences That Actually Matter
Released and FeatureOS both help product teams collect and manage feedback, but they approach it differently. Released focuses on changelog & updates, while FeatureOS provides an all-in-one platform that combines feedback boards , public roadmaps , changelogs , knowledge base , and surveys into a single tool.
In a direct feature-by-feature comparison, FeatureOS includes 15 features that Released does not offer. That means fewer integrations to maintain and a simpler stack for your team. Released starts at $29/mo (Flat rate), while FeatureOS offers a free plan with all core features included.
The biggest difference: FeatureOS is built for the entire feedback loop. Instead of collecting votes and stopping there, you can analyze sentiment with AI , publish updates via changelog, and let users self-serve with a knowledge base. Teams that need a complete feedback-to-release workflow in one place tend to choose FeatureOS.
Why Teams Choose FeatureOS Over Released

Knowledge base
Host product documentation alongside feedback and changelog. Released does not offer a knowledge base.
