Released Hub

Best for teams already using Jira or Jira Product Discovery that want customer communication connected to the work they already manage.

Released Hub customer roadmap with planning fields and personal wishlists
Released Hub’s customer roadmap shows planning fields and personal wishlists alongside upcoming work.

AI release-note drafting from Jira

Released Hub is particularly strong when delivery work already lives in Jira. Its AI drafts use selected work items as source material, while templates and writing instructions provide a consistent structure and style for updates.

Controlled roadmap publishing

Released Hub separates internal planning changes from customer-facing updates. Roadmap data stays connected to Jira, while teams decide when changes are ready to share—a useful fit for teams that need to review plans before communicating them.

Wishlists reveal what matters

Personal wishlists, configurable limits, and hidden counts encourage customers to make deliberate choices about the features they want.

Feedback connects to discovery

Bring customer feedback into Jira Product Discovery as insights, keeping customer input alongside the ideas your team evaluates.

Featurebase

Best for teams that want feedback, roadmaps, product updates, and customer support in one standalone customer-facing suite.

Featurebase feedback portal showing customer requests and voting
Featurebase combines feedback, roadmaps, updates, and customer support in a standalone suite.

Broad customer-facing suite

Bring feedback, roadmaps, product Updates, help content, and support workflows into one workspace.

Customer context for prioritisation

Use segments and revenue attributes when filtering and prioritising requests.

Two-way Jira connection

Link posts, map statuses, notify voters, and review feedback context from Jira.

Key differences

Capability
Released Hub
Featurebase

Release-note creation and distribution

Consider how delivery work becomes a clear product update, from drafting through to publishing and distribution.

AI drafts release notes directly from selected Jira work items. Reusable templates, examples, and writing instructions guide the structure and style, with editing controls to refine the final update.

Featurebase can create Updates through connected AI assistants using its MCP server. The documented AI workflow depends on an external MCP-compatible assistant rather than a dedicated release-note generator inside the editor.

Customer demand and prioritisation

Look beyond vote totals to understand which requests matter, who needs them, and how they inform priorities.

Scoring and prioritisation use the capabilities of Jira and Jira Product Discovery, including custom formulas such as RICE in JPD.

Personal wishlists offer configurable selection limits and hidden counts, encouraging customers to choose what matters most. Why personal wishlists work better than public voting.

Featurebase supports filters, customer revenue, and prioritisation frameworks for assessing ideas. Teams can create user segments from synced customer attributes and use them for filtering, targeting, and access. Customer attributes such as revenue can be synced and used to filter and prioritise feedback.

Jira integration and administration

Look at how feedback connects to Jira work and what your team needs to manage across the two tools.

Feedback on a roadmap item links automatically to its Jira work item, keeping customer input connected to the work being discussed. Teams can also link general feedback from the inbox. Jira-connected roadmaps retain control over when updates are shared publicly.

Featurebase posts can create new Jira issues or link to existing Jira issues. Configurable rules provide two-way status sync between Featurebase posts and Jira issues.

Roadmap presentation and publishing

Compare the context customers can see and the control your team has over sharing plans and progress.

Board and timeline views turn Jira-connected plans into customer-facing roadmaps. Teams choose which planning fields to display and can write a separate public description for each item.

Jira data stays current in the backend, while the team controls which updates reach customers and stakeholders, and when they are shared.

Featurebase provides a public roadmap connected to feedback posts. Teams control which posts and status changes are exposed through the public roadmap. Feedback, roadmap, Updates, and help content can be embedded in web or mobile experiences.

Bring customer communication into Jira

For teams already using Jira or Jira Product Discovery, Released Hub connects customer feedback, public roadmaps, and release notes with the work they already manage.
