Aha's own pricing card carries a number and a rule that changes it, being a rate per seat and a minimum you cannot buy under. UserVoice's plans page carries neither. Both were read on the vendors' own sites on 15 September 2026.
Read together they are the two ends of one question: what does it cost to find out what this costs? Aha answers with arithmetic. UserVoice answers with a booking form.
What does each one charge?
Thirty nine dollars a seat a month, bought three at a time, and a page with no figure on it at all.
| Vendor | From | Billed per | Free plan | Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VoteFirst | $7.50/mo | plan | – | 14 days, card |
| Aha! Ideas | $39/user/mo | user | – | Yes |
| UserVoice | Not published | quoted | – | 30 days |

There is no proof figure for UserVoice on this site. Their plans page has no price printed on it at any tier, so there is nothing on it to photograph.
Aha writes the minimum directly beneath the rate on the same card. Thirty nine dollars a seat becomes a hundred and seventeen a month the moment you land on the page, whether your team needs three people or one.
UserVoice's page names what decides the quote instead of the quote itself: how much feedback is arriving, how much of the platform you switch on, and which of your other systems you connect it to. Seats, by their own account, are not part of that sum.
How much does Aha cost compared to UserVoice?
Aha has a number at every size below. UserVoice has the same answer at all three, because none of the three inputs on their page is a headcount.
| Your situation | Aha Ideas | UserVoice |
|---|---|---|
| 2 people, deciding whether to buy | $117/mo, the floor of three seats applies even to two | Not published, only a call gets you a figure |
| 7 people with a login to the portal | $273/mo, seven seats at $39 | Not published |
| 16 people spread across two departments | $624/mo, sixteen seats at $39 | Not published |
Aha's number moves and UserVoice's does not, and that stillness is not a gap in this table, it is what their own page states on purpose. A company of two and a company of two hundred read the same words on that page, because feedback volume and the tools you switch on are the two things being priced, not the roster.
Aha's floor is the one number worth remembering from this section. Three seats, always, so a solo founder testing the water pays for two colleagues who do not exist yet.
Which one should you choose?
They are built for the same broad job, running a company's ideas list, and they answer to different people inside that company.
UserVoice's tie between a piece of feedback and the account revenue behind it is a genuinely serious capability that Aha does not build. Sales, success and product read the same customer signal against the same number, and that coordination problem is the one UserVoice is actually solving.
Aha's willingness to print a number at all, floor and all, is real credit against a vendor that prints none. You can see the shape of the bill today, on a screen, without booking anything.
Choose Aha if you want a self serve product management suite behind the ideas board. Choose UserVoice if the reason feedback matters to your company is what it says about which accounts are worth keeping.
Why choose Aha over UserVoice, or UserVoice over Aha?
Because one of them lets you buy the thing yourself and the other makes you talk to somebody first.
Choose Aha when you want to see the number, sign up, and be inside the product within the hour, floor and all. Their trial runs thirty days on the Advanced plan with colleagues included, and their own page says it asks for no card.
Choose UserVoice when the job is bigger than a seat count, because a company that needs sales, support and product looking at the same account level picture is buying a rollout, not a login, and their own page names four to six weeks to get one running.
Neither choice is really about the number. It is about whether you already know what you are buying or you need somebody to walk you through it first.
Fourteen days of Pro, a card at signup, then nine or thirty nine a month.
Is there a cheaper alternative to both?
Against Aha's floor, yes, the moment your team is under three. Against UserVoice, there is no printed figure to be cheaper than, only a form to skip.
The full field, with the unit every vendor bills on, is one page, and the calculator works the seat arithmetic at a headcount you pick. This product is nine dollars a month for one project, with no seat count in the bill at all.
What does each do with a vote from a big customer?
Both vendors write about revenue on their own pages, and it is the loudest claim on one of the two.
| Vendor | Weighting by revenue | Single sign on | API | Export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aha | Prioritises ideas by potential revenue, in their own words | – | Yes | Yes |
| UserVoice | Named as the headline of the page | – | Yes | – |
| VoteFirst | All plans | Pro, no SAML | Pro | CSV |
Read on each vendor's own pages on 2026-09-15. A dash means nobody could read it on the pages opened that day, never that the capability is absent.
Aha's own wording scores an idea by the revenue it might bring in, which orders a list somebody built by hand. UserVoice's copy calls its version a revenue weighted view that keeps every department looking at the same priority, and treats that as the page's headline rather than a line in a feature table.
Neither describes a multiplier written onto the vote the second it is cast, which is a narrower claim than either of theirs and a different mechanism from both.
Can I move from one to the other?
Aha's own pages mark an export as available on Ideas without stating what the file contains. UserVoice's own page is more specific, saying feedback can move in by CSV or by their API, with their team handling anything awkward by hand.
That second claim runs one direction only. Neither vendor's pages state what moving out of Aha and into UserVoice would carry across, or the reverse.
Whichever pair of tools sits on either end of a move, the parts that usually do not survive are who cast each vote rather than the total, the comment threads underneath a request, and every portal link a customer has ever bookmarked.
Where we fit, and where we do not
Neither of these two is a single board with nothing behind it, and that is the honest reason to keep reading past the price.
Aha puts an AI assistant on every Ideas plan, described on their own pages as handling idea analysis, theme organisation and drafting, and it is one product inside a suite of eight that also covers roadmaps, delivery and whiteboards. We have no AI feature anywhere and we are not adding one.
UserVoice ties the same piece of feedback to the account behind it and puts a named customer success manager on the rollout, guiding a four to six week setup that connects your other systems to the board. We have no account owner and no CRM connection on any plan, only a Stripe or Paddle import for the revenue a voting tier needs.
What this product does instead is put a whole number multiplier on a tier and write it onto the vote the instant it is cast, with the plain count still sitting next to the weighted one, on the nine dollar plan as well as the thirty nine dollar one.
What is Aha, and what is UserVoice?
Aha is a suite of eight products, of which Ideas is the customer facing portal, billed per paid seat with a floor of three, covering every contributor, reviewer and viewer who can even open the list.
UserVoice is an enterprise feedback and idea management product sold through a sales process, tying a piece of feedback to the account and the revenue behind it, with no price published anywhere on its plans page.
Does either one have a free plan?
Neither does. Aha's pricing page read on 15 September 2026 carries a free trial that asks for no card and no free tier under it, so the cheapest thing you can keep is a seat, bought three at a time.
UserVoice's plans page, read the same day, offers a thirty day trial arranged by booking a demo, with no self serve tier at any price.

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.
The honest summary
Aha will show you a number today, with a floor bolted under it that turns thirty nine dollars into a hundred and seventeen before you have hired anyone. UserVoice will not show you a number at all, on any day, at any size.
Neither weakness is a trick. Aha's floor is printed in the open, which is more than several vendors in this category manage.
UserVoice's silence is the cost of pricing a rollout rather than a login, and it is a genuinely defensible way to sell something built for a whole company rather than one person with a board.
The Aha alternative page and the UserVoice one carry each side on its own.
14 days, a card at signup, then $9 or $39 a month.
