Why Teams Leave Productboard

Per maker pricing makes Productboard extremely expensive as teams grow

Teams that only need feature voting and a public roadmap find Productboard overly complex

No built in changelog means teams need a separate tool to announce product updates

The learning curve is steep, and implementation takes weeks instead of minutes
