Almost every tool in this category limits you by seats, projects or boards. Frill limits you by ideas, which is the content of the board itself, and that is a different kind of ceiling because it arrives exactly when the board starts working.
If you are comparing Frill on price alone you will miss this, so it goes first.
Everything below was read on their own pricing page on 9 September 2026, and the entry price was read again on 15 September 2026.
What are the alternatives to Frill?
Frill's entry plan stops at fifty ideas, which is a cap on the thing you are trying to collect rather than on the people collecting it. Most of the tools below cap nothing you collect, so this is the table to read before anybody's feature list.

Read on each vendor's own pricing page, with the billing switch on the yearly side wherever one is published. From is the cheapest paid rate per month. What each one includes, as well as what it costs, is on one page.

What is Frill?
Frill is a feedback board, a roadmap and a changelog sold together. Its distinguishing feature is the unit it meters, which is the number of ideas on the board rather than the number of seats or projects.
What does Frill cost?
Four plans, priced per workspace rather than per person.
| Plan | Paid yearly | Paid monthly | The limit that matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Startup | $22/mo | $25/mo | 50 Ideas, 1 Survey |
| Business | $44/mo | $49/mo | Unlimited Ideas, 3 Surveys |
| Growth | $136/mo | $149/mo | Unlimited Ideas, Privacy, Surveys, White Labeling |
| Enterprise | $319/mo | $349/mo | Everything above |
Their page also carries a yearly toggle. With it switched on the same four plans read twenty two, forty four, a hundred and thirty six and three hundred and nineteen, read directly off the switched page rather than taken from a summary.
Unlimited admins and unlimited widgets are on every paid tier. That is a genuinely good decision and the opposite of how most of this category ladders, where the second colleague is what pushes you up a plan.
The trial is fourteen days and does not ask for a card. The page lists no free plan.
You can check this on a board of your own rather than take the table's word for it, and a trial is 14 days with a card at signup.
What happens when you hit fifty ideas?
You move to Business, which is forty nine dollars a month.
That is a doubling of the price, triggered by your own users doing the thing you bought the product for. Fifty ideas is not many. A board that gets shared once in a release note can pass it in a week.
There are only two ways to read this. Either Startup is an evaluation tier and Business is the real entry price, or you plan to prune the board, which means deleting or archiving ideas people submitted.
Neither is a scandal, and both are worth knowing before you compare their entry plan against anybody else's.
VoteFirst has no limit on the number of requests at any price, on any plan here. That is a real difference, and it is the only place it clearly beats them.
Does Frill weight votes by revenue?
Yes, in its own words. Frill's home page, read on 4 October 2026, lists "weight votes by customer revenue" under prioritisation, beside benefit and cost factors you define and a matrix that plots every idea. Its pricing page ticks the priority matrix on Startup, the cheapest plan, and names no plan for the weighting.
VoteFirst does the same job with a multiplier on each customer tier, written onto the vote when it is cast, and it can fill the tiers from Stripe revenue bands. The plain count and the weighted total sit side by side on each request.
14 days, a card at signup, then $9 or $39 a month.
Is Frill still being worked on?
Yes. Their own changelog widget posted on 13 August 2026.
An abandoned tool with a live pricing page is the worst thing you can accidentally buy, and their own changelog is the fastest signal of that.
What do you get that VoteFirst does not have?
Surveys, and a knowledge base of prioritization framing.
Startup includes one survey, Business three, and Growth adds privacy surveys. VoteFirst has no survey feature at all and no plans for one. If asking your users a direct question matters as much as collecting what they volunteer, that is a real gap on its side.
Does Frill have a free plan?
No, not any more. Their pricing page read on 14 September 2026 carries a fourteen day trial that asks for no card and no free tier under it.
A board whose trial ends unpaid stays online with a noindex tag, which asks search engines to leave it out. All 56 such boards read on 3 October 2026 carried one.
What this costs
Lite
$9 /mo
Pro
$39 /mo
Lifetime
$999 once
Fourteen day trial of Pro, card asked for at signup. Nothing here counts the people who vote, so the bill does not move when the board starts working. The long version, with what happens if you stop paying.
Does Frill have a public roadmap, single sign on and a CSV export?
Frill carries a roadmap and micro roadmaps, and its customers publish them. Frill carries single sign on on every paid tier. Frill carries bulk CSV import as well as export, which is the pair you want when you are moving in rather than out.
VoteFirst publishes a public roadmap with a Denied column on every plan, and signs a voter in with a token from your own application on the thirty nine dollar plan rather than with SAML.
Is there a free Frill alternative?
Yes, several, and none of them is Frill. Fider is the free one to know about, because it is open source and its hosted tier runs to two hundred and fifty feedback items.
UserJot gives two boards and three admin roles, Supahub gives one board and one admin, Featurebase gives one seat, and Sleekplan's Indie tier is a single admin workspace that does not expire.
All five were read on their own pages on 14 September 2026. VoteFirst is not one of them. There is no free plan here, only a fourteen day trial that asks for a card at signup.
Is Frill worth it, and when is it the better answer?
Three cases.
You want surveys and a board from one vendor. VoteFirst does not have surveys.
You have several colleagues. Unlimited admins on every paid tier. VoteFirst's nine dollar plan has no team members and they start on its thirty nine dollar plan.
Your board will stay small. Fifty ideas at twenty two dollars a month is fine for a first product, and their fourteen day trial costs nothing to find out.
What does VoteFirst cost?
Nine dollars a month for one project, with no cap on how many requests the board holds.
That plan is one project, one roadmap and every widget, with weighted voting included, and no API, no custom domain and no team members. Thirty nine dollars adds those.
Against Frill the comparison is narrow. They are more product, with surveys and unlimited colleagues. VoteFirst is cheaper, does not cap the board, and weights the vote by what the voter pays. Every price and unit in the category is on one page.
What moving actually involves
There is no importer for Frill on VoteFirst's side; the board import reads only Canny and Featurebase.
Voters and the revenue behind them come in from a CSV or from a billing connection, which is the part the weighting needs. The requests themselves are rebuilt by hand or by a script against the API, and the vote counts start again.
The five steps, with the endpoint each one uses, are written out in full, and they are the same five whatever you are leaving.

- Canny bills voters, Frill bills open ideas
- Featurebase vs Frill, seats against your backlog
- FeedBear vs Frill, headcount against backlog
- Frill charges for your backlog, Sleekplan for your headcount
- Frill vs Upvoty, priced on the same day
- Frill vs UserJot, one caps ideas, the other is free
- Gleap vs Frill, a suite priced against a board
- LoopedIn vs Frill, neither counts your customers
