Thirty two products, each read on its own pricing page. Thirty were read on 15 September 2026. Two of them, Nolt and Feature Upvote, refused the browser that day and carry their 14 September reading instead.
Nothing here was copied from another list, which is why some of these figures disagree with lists you will find elsewhere.
The useful way to sort this category is not by feature list, because the feature lists converge. It is by the unit on the invoice, because that is what decides whether your bill grows when the tool starts working.
Which tools charge for the people who participate?
Five, and this is the group to understand before anything else.
| Tool | Entry price | The unit | Free plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canny | $79 a month billed yearly at 100 tracked users | tracked users, anybody associated with feedback | yes, 25 tracked users |
| Convas | $15 a month at 100 tracked users, then 15 per additional 100 | tracked users, anybody who posts, votes or comments | yes, 25 tracked users, and free for non commercial open source |
| Beamer | $49 a month billed annually, feedback is an add on at every tier | monthly active users, 5,000 on Starter | yes, 1,000 monthly active users and 1 teammate |
| Pendo | unpublished | monthly active users, at a volume they quote | yes, the Novus beta, which needs no card |
| UserVoice | unpublished | feedback volume, the tools used and the integrations connected, never by seat in their own words | no free plan, a 30 day trial arranged through a demo |
On these five, a board that succeeds is a board that costs more. That is not a criticism, it is a pricing model, and it suits a team that wants the cost to track the value. It suits a public board attached to a large free user base considerably less. The calculator runs your own voter count against every metered tool at once.
Which tools charge per seat or per person on your side?
Seven, where the bill follows your team rather than your customers.
| Tool | Entry price | The unit | Free plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trello | $5 a user a month billed annually | per user | yes |
| Jira Product Discovery | 10 a creator a month, 25 on Premium | per creator, viewers are free | yes, forever for 3 creators |
| Productboard | $19 a maker a month billed annually | per maker, 2 maker minimum on Business | yes, 500 feedback notes, 1 teamspace, 1 portal |
| Featurebase | $29 a seat a month billed yearly | per seat | yes, 1 seat |
| Aha! Ideas | $39 a user a month | per user | no free plan, a free trial that needs no card |
| Savio | $39 a month with 1 paid user, then $23 per extra | per paid user, unlimited free users | no free plan, a 14 day trial |
| ProdPad | not published in the page a crawler receives | per module, reviewers are free | no free plan, a 7 day trial |
The distinction worth catching here is who counts as a seat. Two of these charge only for the people who edit and let everybody else read for nothing, which is a materially different bill for a team where most people only look.
Which tools charge for a fixed thing that does not grow?
Seventeen, where the invoice is the same whether ten people use the board or ten thousand.
| Tool | Entry price | The unit | Free plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| VoteFirst | $9 a month, $39 on Pro | a plan, one project on Lite | no free plan, a 14 day trial that needs a card |
| Sleekplan | $13 a month billed yearly | a workspace with 3 team seats, unlimited tracked users | yes, a single admin workspace forever |
| WishKit | $12.50 a month billed yearly | a project, one board with its own API key, unlimited users | yes, one project and five feature requests |
| Upvoty | $13.50 a month billed annually | per project, unlimited tracked users | no free plan, a 14 day trial |
| Noora | $14 a month billed annually | a workspace, unlimited contacts and team members | no free plan, a 7 day trial |
| FeedBear | $15 a month billed annually | per project, then team members and boards | no free plan, a 14 day trial |
| Supahub | $15 a month billed yearly | a workspace, then admins and boards | yes, 1 board and 1 admin |
| ProductLift | $19 a month billed yearly | a workspace with 2 admins, $15 per extra | no free plan, a 14 day trial |
| Frill | $22 a month billed yearly | a workspace, capped at 50 active ideas on Startup | no free plan, a 14 day trial |
| UserJot | $29 a month | a workspace, unlimited users on every plan | yes, 2 boards and 3 admin roles forever |
| Nolt | $29 a month billed annually | a board tier, 1 board on Essential | no free plan |
| Feature Upvote | $49 a board a month | per board, per month | no free plan, a 30 day trial |
| Rapidr | $49 a month | a workspace with 5 team members | no free plan, a 14 day trial |
| Suggested | $49 a month, and every feature is on it | a plan, with no tiers at all | no free plan, a 15 day trial |
| Fider | free to a fair use limit of 250 feedback items, then $25 a month | a workspace, or your own server | yes, 250 feedback items |
| FeatureOS | $50 a month billed annually, $15 for each extra board or seat | a plan allowance of 5 boards and 5 seats | no free plan, a 30 day trial |
| Gleap | $49 a month billed annually | a plan with 1 seat and 1 project on Starter | no free plan, a 14 day trial |
This is the largest group and the one where the entry price is the whole story. Read the middle column anyway: a workspace capped at fifty active ideas and a workspace with no cap are the same word on the invoice and a different product in month six.
What about the ones that only do one half?
Three, and they are worth knowing about so you do not evaluate them for a job they never claimed.
| Tool | Entry price | What it is | Free plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headway | $29 a month | changelog only, there is no feedback board | yes, unlimited changelogs |
| AnnounceKit | $79 a month billed annually, requests start on Growth at $129 | announcements first, feature requests higher up | no free plan, a 15 day trial |
| LaunchNotes | $249 a month billed annually | a page, 1 page and 2 users on Growth | no free plan |
Which is the right one for software, for a website, or for an app?
The same one, and the reason is worth a paragraph because these three searches expect three different answers.
A feedback board does not care what it is attached to. The board is a page and a set of embeddable widgets, and the widget does not know whether the screen around it is a web application, a marketing site or a mobile app rendered in a web view. What actually changes between those three cases is not the tool. It is where you put the control that collects.
For a web application, put it on the screen where the thing is missing. For a marketing site, put it behind a link in the footer and on the pricing page, where people arrive already comparing. For a mobile app, the board lives on the web and the app links out to it, which is worse than in place collection and is what every product in this table does.
Which is the right one for design, for surveys, or for usability testing?
None of them, and this is the most useful sentence on this page.
Those three jobs belong to different categories of product. A survey tool asks a question you wrote and returns a distribution. A usability testing tool records somebody attempting a task. A design feedback tool puts comments on an image or a prototype.
A feedback board does none of those. It collects what people say they want, counts the people behind each request, and puts the results in an order. If you searched for user feedback tools meaning one of the three above, every product in the tables on this page is the wrong shelf.
What is on this page and what is not
Every figure is an entry price read on a vendor's own pricing page on the date given at the top, with the yearly billing switch on wherever a vendor publishes one. Two vendors publish no price at all and their rows say so rather than guessing.
An absence of evidence on a marketing site is never proof that software cannot do a thing. Where a vendor publishes nothing on a question, this page says nothing either.
The whole thing as a file, thirty two rows with the address each was read at, is free to copy, quote and use commercially with no attribution.
If you want the category explained rather than priced, what a product feedback tool actually covers is that page. If you have already narrowed it to two, the head to head pages work the arithmetic.
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.
