# RelayFast Review Hosted changelog, feature request board, subscriber email, and in-app widget for small SaaS teams in one flat-priced product. ## Editor's Score: 66/100 Capability lands at 17 because the four-area feature structure (public page, feedback loop, distribution, control plane) is genuinely more integrated than single-purpose changelog tools, but the AI layer is thin at 20 scans per month and there is no segmentation, analytics, or NPS, features that named competitors like AnnounceKit include. Ease of use scores 19 because the single-post-to-everywhere workflow is clearly designed for low friction and the pricing page is transparent, though no third-party usability data exists to validate the claim. Value scores 18 because $19/month with no per-user fees is fair for a small team, and the free tier is functional enough to test the workflow, but the 50-subscriber free cap and the 20 AI scan Pro cap both represent real limits that reduce the plan's practical value. Delivery scores 12 because the tool is early-stage with no third-party reviews found, sparse public sentiment, and a founder beta still in progress, making it impossible to verify that the product delivers reliably at scale; this is not a trust controversy but a genuine evidence gap that warrants caution. ## Pros - Flat pricing with no per-user or page-view fees means the monthly cost stays at $19 regardless of how many people view the changelog or use the product. - Four capabilities in one workflow: public changelog, feature request board with voting and status tracking, subscriber email, and in-app widget, all driven from a single post. - Free tier includes feature requests, voting, and an embeddable widget, which is more than most changelog-only free plans offer. ## Cons - AI changelog scans are capped at 20 per month on Pro, which is low enough to be a real constraint for teams publishing frequently and wanting AI assistance on every post. - The free tier's 50-subscriber and 10-posts-per-month limits are tight: a product with any real user base will hit the subscriber cap quickly and be forced to upgrade or lose the ability to notify new sign-ups. - No user segmentation, engagement analytics, or NPS: teams that want to know which users read which update, or who to target with a specific announcement, will find the distribution layer too blunt. ## Pricing Freemium. A free tier is available. - Free: Free - Pro: $19/mo Pricing reflects what we saw at the time of review (2026-09). Confirm current pricing on the official site.

The AI assist is thin at 20 scans per month, and the free tier caps you at 50 subscribers and 10 posts, which is tight for anything beyond a proof-of-concept. If you need deeper analytics, segmentation, or NPS, look at a broader platform like AnnounceKit before committing here. Best for: Solo SaaS founders and small product teams wanting a unified changelog and feedback loop at a flat monthly price. Not for: Teams needing user segmentation, NPS surveys, or analytics beyond basic subscriber counts. ## Overview RelayFast is a hosted changelog and feature request platform built specifically for small SaaS teams. The core idea is that release notes, subscriber notifications, and in-app announcements should not require three separate tools. One post publishes to a public changelog page, triggers subscriber emails, feeds an RSS stream, and surfaces inside the product via an embeddable widget. The product organizes around four named capability areas: a public page (hosted changelog, post pages, RSS, custom domain), a feedback loop (feature requests, votes, statuses, shipped-request links), distribution (subscribers, launch email, in-app widget, CSV export), and a control plane (projects, categories, branding, subscriber export). That structure is tighter than most changelog tools, which typically handle only one or two of those jobs. The AI layer is modest: Pro includes 20 AI changelog scans per month, which is a light assist for drafting or reviewing posts rather than a deep generative feature. RelayFast is operated by Pixeera LLC and is early-stage, currently running a founder beta offer for the first 20 SaaS founders. That context matters: the product is live and functional, but user sentiment data and third-party reviews are sparse, which makes delivery harder to assess than for an established tool. ## Who should use it A solo founder shipping weekly updates who currently pastes release notes into a Notion page, a Slack message, and a manual email is the clearest fit. RelayFast replaces all three with one post and handles subscriber management, unsubscribe paths, and in-app visibility automatically. The flat $19/month Pro price and the absence of per-tracked-user fees make the cost predictable as the product grows, up to 1,000 subscribers. Product managers at teams of two to five who already collect feature requests in a spreadsheet or a support inbox will also find the feedback loop useful: requests, votes, and statuses connect directly to shipped changelog entries, so customers can see when their feedback became a real release. If your team needs user segmentation, NPS, or detailed engagement analytics on who read which update, RelayFast does not have those features. Notion AI is a better fit if your team already lives in Notion and wants AI-assisted drafting across all your product docs, not just changelogs. ## FAQ Q: Is there a free plan, and what does it actually include? A: Yes. The free tier includes one project, 10 posts per month, 50 subscribers, a hosted changelog with RelayFast branding, feature requests and voting, an embeddable widget, and an RSS feed. There is no custom domain on the free plan. Q: How much does RelayFast Pro cost? A: Pro is $19 per month on monthly billing or $180 per year on annual billing, which works out to about $15 per month. The price is flat and does not change based on the number of tracked users or page views. Q: What happens if I cancel my Pro subscription? A: When you cancel, the project moves to the free plan automatically. Your published posts, subscribers, and feature requests are retained. Pro-only features like the custom domain and removed branding pause until you upgrade again. Q: Does RelayFast charge extra based on how many users view my changelog? A: No. RelayFast uses flat pricing on both plans. There are no tracked-user fees, monthly active user fees, or page-view overages. Q: What is the AI changelog scan feature and how limited is it? A: Pro includes 20 AI changelog scans per month. This is a light AI assist for drafting or reviewing posts, not a generative writing suite. Teams publishing more than a few updates per week will likely find the cap restrictive. Q: What is the founder offer and who qualifies? A: The first 20 SaaS founders get 3 months of Pro access free in exchange for honest product feedback, including reporting issues and becoming an early Product Hunt supporter. After the 3 months, billing continues at the standard Pro rate.
