Worknotes vs Olvy
Last updated: March 2026
Both tools use AI for changelogs, but differently. Worknotes generates entries from your Linear tickets for $29/month flat. Olvy helps you rewrite and polish text starting at $60/month, with per-builder and per-integration fees on top.
Why teams switch from Olvy
Olvy is powerful for feedback analysis. But if your main need is publishing changelogs, the pricing and workflow don't match.
AI generates, not just edits
Olvy's AI rewrites and polishes text you've written. Worknotes generates the first draft from your completed Linear tickets. You review and publish instead of writing from scratch.
Hidden fees add up fast
Olvy's $60/month becomes $100-150/month after adding builders ($25 each) and integrations ($20 each). Worknotes is $29/month flat with unlimited users and Linear included.
Email included, not gated
Olvy requires the $240/month Business plan for email subscriptions. Worknotes includes email campaigns with 3,000 sends per month on the $29 plan.
Unlimited team members
Olvy charges $25/month per additional builder. Worknotes includes unlimited team members. Your whole product team can contribute without per-seat math.
When Olvy is the better choice
You need multi-channel feedback analysis. Olvy unifies feedback from Slack, Discord, Twitter, Play Store, Intercom, and Zendesk into one view. No other changelog tool does this.
You need custom CSS for the changelog. Olvy supports custom CSS on Essentials+. Worknotes uses a branded page without custom CSS control.
You need Jira integration. Olvy integrates with both Jira and Linear. Worknotes currently integrates with Linear only.
You want sidebar and popup widgets. Olvy offers sidebar, modal, and popup widget types. Worknotes focuses on banners and modals for in-app announcements.
