A Nolt alternative built around GitHub releases
Nolt is a flat-priced board with voting, a roadmap and a changelog, on the market since 2018. RondiLoop is younger and narrower. It has no voting yet, and puts its effort into what happens after you decide: in GitHub, and in the email to the people who asked. It’s in early access.
RondiLoop and Nolt, side by side
| Topic | RondiLoop | Nolt |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | One flat price per workspace, monthly or annual, with unlimited end users and feedback. Announced at launch. | A flat rate per plan with unlimited users and admins; plans differ in boards and integrations. Essential $29 a month billed annually ($39 monthly), Pro $69 ($89). No free plan; a 10-day trial. |
| Where the data is | Servers in the EU. Mail through Brevo (France), error reports on our own servers. AI through Anthropic (USA), with personal data masked first; it can be switched off per project. | AWS, and Heroku according to its security page; the region of the global service isn’t stated. A separate EU instance at eu.nolt.io keeps data in the EU, from €39 a month billed annually. |
| GitHub | A GitHub App. A roadmap item becomes an issue; a pull request moves the card to In progress, the merge to Shipped. Webhooks plus a nightly re-sync. | An app from the GitHub Marketplace: creates issues from posts, automatically or on demand, and keeps their status in sync with sync rules. |
| Changelog | When you publish a GitHub release, AI drafts the release notes from its merged pull requests. You edit them and publish. | Built in and on by default. AI drafts entries from feedback posts or from your repository’s commits, saved as drafts for review. |
| Telling people it shipped | Publishing emails everyone who left an address with a request that shipped, quoting what they asked for. | A status change emails the author, commenters, upvoters and subscribers by default. The changelog can be emailed to subscribers. |
| Widget | One script tag, under 10 KB. No cookies, nothing loaded from third parties. | A modal, an iframe or a button on your site, with SSO. |
| Voting and comments | Not yet. Similar requests are merged into one roadmap item, which shows how many people asked. | Yes, both, with optional downvotes and duplicate detection. |
| Other integrations | None besides GitHub. No GitLab, Linear, Jira or Slack. | Jira, Linear, Trello, Asana, monday.com, Slack, Discord and more. Two-way sync with GitHub, Linear, Trello and Jira. |
| Self-hosting | No. Hosted only; whether it goes open source isn’t decided. | Not offered, as far as its own pages show. |
