Most tools in this category count votes and leave the money out of it. ProductLift does not, and neither do we, which makes this the comparison on this site where the two products are trying to do the same thing rather than different things.
So this page is mostly about one question. Which plan does the revenue part sit on, and what does it ask of you before it works.
Everything about ProductLift below was read on their own pricing page on 9 September 2026.
What does ProductLift cost?
Three published plans, each with a monthly rate and a lower yearly one.
| Plan | Paid monthly | Paid yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29 | $19/mo, billed at $228/yr |
| Pro | $79 | $49/mo, billed at $588/yr |
| Business | $199 | $129/mo, billed at $1,548/yr |
Starter includes two admins, and every admin after that is $15 a month each. That is the part worth reading twice, because it means the price is not quite flat.
It is a workspace price with a seat price bolted on above the allowance, and every plan including the one that reads Stripe is written out here.
There is no free plan and they say so in their own words. Their pricing page states that they only offer a free trial and not a permanent free plan. The trial runs fourteen days and does not ask for a card.
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 is on the nineteen dollar plan?
Two boards, two admins, unlimited end users, and rather more than you would expect at that price.
Anonymous voting, a public roadmap, a changelog, a knowledge base, white labelling and twenty eight languages are all on Starter. White labelling on the entry plan is unusual in this category and it deserves saying, because most tools park branding removal at the top of the ladder.
What is not on Starter is the part this page exists for.
Where does the revenue feature actually sit?
On Pro, which is forty nine dollars a month billed yearly.
Their own feature list puts the Stripe integration on Pro, alongside the RICE, ICE and MoSCoW prioritisation frameworks, API access, unlimited boards, SSO and all other integrations. Their prioritisation page describes what it does, that you pipe MRR and plan tier from Stripe against every voter.
So the mechanism is real and it is good. It is also three hundred and sixty dollars a year further up the ladder than where you start, which is five hundred and eighty eight against two hundred and twenty eight, and a reader comparing entry prices will not see that from the pricing table alone.
Ours is on the nine dollar plan. That is the entire commercial difference between these two products and there is no point dressing it up as anything more complicated.
Is their revenue feature the same as ours?
No, and theirs is easier to set up while ours is more direct about what it changes.
ProductLift connects to Stripe and reads the MRR and plan tier of each voter from it. That means the numbers arrive on their own, they stay current when a customer upgrades, and you do not maintain anything by hand.
If your billing already lives in Stripe, that is a genuine advantage and it is the strongest thing on this page in their favour.
Ours does not connect to Stripe. You create voting tiers, put a whole number multiplier on each, and assign voters to tiers yourself. The multiplier is written onto the vote at the moment it is cast, so the weight a vote carries is the weight that applied on the day.
Both the plain count and the weighted total sit on the same card. The full mechanism is here, including what it deliberately will not do.
The honest summary is that theirs is automatic and reads revenue alongside the votes, and ours is manual and changes the size of the vote itself. Which you want depends on whether you want the board's own order to move.
14 days, a card at signup, then $9 or $39 a month.
What about the AI credits?
They are metered, and we do not have them at all.
Starter carries two hundred and fifty AI credits a month, Pro two thousand and Business six thousand. That is a real feature of their product and some readers want it.
We have no AI features anywhere in VoteFirst and we are not going to add them to win a comparison table. If an AI assistant summarising your feedback is something you want, that is a reason to buy ProductLift and it is not a reason we will argue with.
How many boards do you get?
Two on Starter, and unlimited on Pro.
Worth checking against your own situation before you compare monthly prices, because the second product you run is free here and a second project on our side needs the thirty nine dollar plan. On board count at the entry tier, they beat us.
Does ProductLift have a free plan?
No. Their pricing page read on 14 September 2026 carries a fourteen day trial that asks for no card, and the nineteen dollar plan is the cheapest thing you can keep.
Does ProductLift have a public roadmap, single sign on, a changelog and an export?
ProductLift publishes a public roadmap on a custom domain of yours. ProductLift puts single sign on on Business. ProductLift puts its changelog on Starter and exports to CSV. ProductLift reads the revenue behind every vote from MRR and plan data through Stripe, on Pro at forty nine dollars a month billed yearly.
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.
Is there a free ProductLift alternative?
Yes, several, and none of them is ProductLift. 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 ProductLift worth it, and when is it the better answer?
Three cases, and the first two are not close.
Your billing is in Stripe and you want the revenue link to maintain itself. Theirs reads from Stripe. Ours asks you to set the tiers. If you have hundreds of customers moving between plans, that difference compounds every month.
You want prioritisation frameworks. RICE, ICE and MoSCoW are on their Pro plan. We have none of them and no plans to build them.
You run two products and want white labelling from the start. Two boards and white labelling on the nineteen dollar plan is more than we give you at nine.
What does ours cost?
Nine dollars a month for one project, with weighted voting included at that price rather than one plan up.
That plan is one project, one roadmap and every widget, with no API, no custom domain and no team members. Thirty nine dollars adds those.
There is no per voter meter and no AI charge, so the bill does not move when the board gets busy.
And there is no free tier here either, so on that particular point we are level with them and both behind the tools that have one. The whole category's prices and units are on one page.
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.
