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.

Frill

Best for teams that want a focused portal for customer ideas, voting, public roadmaps, announcements, and embedded surveys.

Frill brings customer ideas, a public roadmap, and product announcements into one focused portal.

Key differences

Capability
Released Hub
Frill

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.

Teams can configure priority factors and compare ideas in a prioritisation matrix. Frill supports user segments and custom attributes for targeting and analysis.

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.

Sending an idea to Jira creates a Jira Cloud issue with the title, description, and a link back to Frill. The integration is limited to Jira Cloud and one configured project.

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 from selected Jira work items, with reusable templates and editing controls to shape each update. Teams can also write content manually.

Readers can subscribe to changelog emails through the portal or widget, connecting published updates with their audience.

Frill Announcements publishes product updates with categories, media, comments, and reactions. Readers can subscribe to Announcements and receive product-update emails.

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.

Frill includes a public roadmap connected to ideas and statuses. Frill widgets embed Ideas, Roadmap, and Announcements as launchers, inline frames, popovers, or modals.

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.
