Why Teams Leave Fider

Self hosting costs add up: $70 to $125/mo in infrastructure plus 5 to 10 hours of engineering time per month

Fider only offers feedback boards with no roadmap or changelog

Open core model change made some self hosters feel the project lost its community trust

Limited integrations mean teams cannot connect Fider to their existing project management tools
