Nolt alternatives, and which of them charge per board

Nolt sells a single clean public board and it is unusually good at that one job. The thing to understand before comparing prices is that the board is the unit, so what you pay depends on how many products you run rather than how many people you have.

Everything below was read in a browser on their own pricing page on 9 September 2026.

What are the alternatives to Nolt?

Nolt is twenty nine dollars for one board and sixty nine for five, so the question is not the entry price but how many boards you will run in a year. Only two tools below bill per board at all.

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 Nolt?

The same two products, line by line

Read on each vendor's own pages on the date in the row above. Not published means nobody could read it on the pages opened that day, never that the feature is absent.

Nolt is a single public feedback board with a roadmap view. The board is the unit it sells, so the price depends on how many products you run rather than on how many people use them.

What does Nolt cost?

Three plans, priced per board tier.

Plan Paid monthly Paid yearly Boards
Essential $29 $348 1
Pro $69 $828 5
Enterprise Custom Custom Unlimited

Their own headline is that every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited content and unlimited admins. That is a genuinely good decision and it is the opposite of most of this category, where colleagues are what push you up a tier.

New boards start with a ten day free trial of Pro and it does not ask for a card. There is no free plan.

They also let you choose between a Europe and a Global deployment, which is worth knowing if data residency matters to you.

If you would rather try the alternative than read about it, a trial runs 14 days and asks for a card at signup, and it is $9 or $39 a month after that.

The weighted voting switch, on, with the line saying every vote is multiplied by the voter's tier weight
The switch that multiplies each vote by the voter's tier.

Every plan on that page, what steps between them and what the trial asks for, is worked through on the Nolt pricing page.

What happens when you need a second board?

You go to Pro at sixty nine dollars, and you get five.

That is a jump of forty dollars a month rather than a doubling, so a second product costs more than twice what the first one did. On the other hand it buys you four more boards, so the third, fourth and fifth are free once you are there.

The practical read is that Nolt is cheap for one product and reasonable for up to five, with an awkward step in between. If you will always run one board, twenty nine dollars is a fair price for what it does.

Do they have private boards?

Yes on the twenty nine dollar plan, where we do not have them at any price.

Private boards are on Essential. Password protection and restricting access by domain arrive on Pro at sixty nine, and we have no equivalent to either.

We have nothing equivalent to any of that. A board of ours is published to everybody or to nobody, with no password and no invite list, so there is no way to admit one named customer. If your feedback has to sit behind a login, buy theirs and stop reading here.

Essential also carries JWT based single sign on, which is unusual on an entry plan.

Does Nolt weight votes by revenue?

No. Nothing on the pages we read on 9 September 2026 mentions vote weight, MRR or customer tier.

That is an absence on their marketing pages rather than proof about their software.

Ours puts each voter in a tier with a whole number multiplier, writes that weight onto the vote when it is cast, and shows the plain count beside the weighted total.

The mechanism is here. Eight of the thirty two tools we checked ship a form of it, so this is a difference between us and Nolt rather than something only we have.

14 days, a card at signup, then $9 or $39 a month.

One request opened, showing seventy eight votes becoming a hundred and ninety eight weighted votes, and the tier split behind them at Free one times, Pro three and Enterprise five
One request opened: seventy eight votes become a hundred and ninety eight.

Is Nolt still being worked on?

Yes. Their footer reads 2018 to 2026 and they are made in Canada and Switzerland.

We check that signal on every one of these pages, because an abandoned product with a live pricing page is the worst thing you can accidentally buy.

Does Nolt have a free plan?

No. Their pricing page read on 14 September 2026 gives every new board a ten day trial of Pro that asks for no card, and there is nothing free after it.

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 Nolt have a public roadmap, single sign on and a CSV export?

Nolt carries a roadmap view on the same board the requests sit on. Nolt carries JWT single sign on on Essential, its entry plan, and SAML 2.0 on Enterprise. Nolt puts CSV export on Pro, a plan up from the one that carries the sign on.

Ours 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.

The same board ordered by priority, which is demand divided by effort, so a smaller request with less demand sits above a large one with more
The same board, ordered by demand divided by effort.

Is there a free Nolt alternative?

Yes, several, and none of them is Nolt. 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. This product is not one of them. There is no free plan here, only a fourteen day trial that asks for a card at signup.

Is Nolt worth it, and when is it the better answer?

Three cases, and the first two are decisive on their own.

You need a board behind a login. Theirs starts at twenty nine dollars and we do not have one at any price.

You have colleagues. Unlimited admins on every plan. Our nine dollar plan does not include any and they start on our thirty nine dollar plan.

You want one very good public board and nothing else. That is what they built, and adding features to a product like that usually makes it worse.

What does ours cost?

Nine dollars a month for one project, with weighted voting included and no widget held back for the higher plan.

Against Essential we are twenty dollars a month cheaper for one board, and they give you unlimited admins where we give you none until thirty nine dollars. So on a team of one we are cheaper and on a team of three they are.

The reason to choose us is the weighting, and if your customers all pay you about the same then it is not a reason at all. The full category table is here.

What moving actually involves

More work than a button, and the honest version is short. There is no importer for requests or votes on our side.

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.

That is a real cost and it is worth naming before anybody moves. The five steps, with the endpoint each one uses, are written out in full, and they are the same five whatever you are leaving.

Nolt against the others, one at a time

Six pages here take Nolt and one rival at a time, working out where the two bills cross and what each one does with a vote from a paying customer.
