## Why teams choose FeatureOS over Released

- **Works with any project management tool**: Released requires Jira. FeatureOS integrates with Jira, Linear, GitHub, Slack, and more. No ecosystem lock-in.
- **In-app surveys**: Collect structured NPS, CSAT, and custom survey feedback directly in your product. Released has no survey capabilities.
- **Knowledge base**: Host product documentation alongside feedback and changelog. Released does not offer a knowledge base.
- **AI-powered analysis**: Sentiment analysis, duplicate detection, and smart clustering. Released focuses on feedback collection without AI analysis.

## Where Released shines

- **Native Jira integration**: Released is built directly on Jira and Jira Product Discovery. Feedback becomes insights on Jira issues with zero manual mapping.
- **AI-generated changelogs from Jira**: Automatically generates changelog content from completed Jira issues, reducing the effort of writing release notes.

## Choose Released if you...

- Your team is fully committed to Jira and Jira Product Discovery
- You want automatic changelog generation from Jira issues
- You need the tightest possible Jira integration
- You do not need surveys, knowledge base, or AI analysis

## Choose FeatureOS if you...

- You use PM tools other than Jira or want flexibility
- You need surveys, knowledge base, and AI analysis
- You want a standalone feedback platform, not a Jira add-on
- You want a public voting portal with structured feedback management
