Frill charges for your backlog, UserJot charges for your boards

Frill and UserJot both bill per workspace rather than per person, so neither one gets more expensive because a tenth colleague signs in. What each workspace fee actually buys is different.

Frill's cheapest plan caps how many ideas can be open at once. UserJot's free plan has no idea cap at all and caps the number of boards instead. Everything below was read on each vendor's own pricing page on 14 September 2026, unless a figure names a different date.

What does each one charge?

Twenty two dollars a month for Frill's cheapest plan, zero for UserJot's, and the two numbers are not the whole story.

UserJot's own pricing page also has a proof image on this site, on the UserJot pricing page. We are only showing one figure per page here, and Frill's is the one with the sharper crossover to explain.

Frill's Startup plan is twenty two dollars a month billed yearly, or twenty five billed monthly, and it stops at fifty active ideas. UserJot's Free plan has no idea cap that either vendor's page mentions, and it stops at two boards instead.

How much does Frill cost compared to UserJot?

Three shapes, because the two vendors do not cap the same thing.

A backlog that grows past fifty open ideas doubles Frill's bill without adding a single colleague. A board count that grows past two does the same to UserJot, without a single idea being added.

Neither crossover is about your team size, and that is the thing both vendors get right that most of the category gets wrong.

If you would rather look at a board than read about billing, the demo is open without an account.

Which one should you choose?

They solve different shaped problems and the honest answer says where each one wins.

UserJot's free plan is not a disguised trial. It has no expiry, no card, and unlimited posts and unlimited users on it. For a first product with no budget, that is a better answer than anything on this page including ours.

Frill's cheapest paid plan does not cap teammates or single sign on. Unlimited admins and single sign on are on Startup at twenty two dollars, where most of this category makes you pay more to add a fourth colleague.

Choose UserJot if two boards is enough and you want to spend nothing to find out. Choose Frill if you expect a busy backlog and want surveys and a priority matrix alongside the board.

Why choose Frill over UserJot, or UserJot over Frill?

Because one of them sells a bigger product for a price, and the other sells a smaller one for free.

Choose Frill when you want surveys, a priority matrix and a Canny importer in the same subscription as the board, and you are willing to pay from day one for that width.

Choose UserJot when the board and the roadmap are the whole job, you have two products or fewer to run boards for, and free is not a trap you need to check for a catch.

Board count against idea count is the real decision. A quiet backlog on three boards fits UserJot for nothing. A busy backlog on one board fits Frill's twenty two dollars better than UserJot's free plan, once posts pile up faster than two boards can sensibly hold them apart.

One project is nine dollars a month. Unlimited projects is thirty nine.

Is there a cheaper alternative to both?

Depends on which cap you are planning around.

Against Frill's idea cap, anything that does not meter your backlog at all is cheaper the moment your board gets busy. Against UserJot's board cap, anything with more than two boards free is a wash, and few tools clear that bar. The calculator works out both at a size you choose.

This site's plan is nine dollars a month for one project with no idea cap and no board cap inside that project. The whole field, with the unit each vendor bills on, is one page.

What does each do with a vote from a big customer?

Neither treats a vote from your biggest account differently from a vote from a free trial user.

A dash means nobody could read it on the pages opened that day, never that the capability is absent.

Frill's own Priority Matrix scores a request by benefit against cost, which is a real prioritization frame and not the same question as who is asking. UserJot's pages we read do not mention vote weight, customer revenue or a tier multiplier at all.

Can I move from one to the other?

Frill carries bulk CSV import and export, plus a Canny importer for coming from that specific tool. We did not find any mention of an importer or an exporter on UserJot's pages read on 14 September 2026, so that absence is what nobody could read that day rather than proof it is missing.

Whatever moves, the vote count usually does not survive intact. Who cast each vote, the original timestamps and any comment threading are the parts that most exports in this category drop, and neither vendor's page promises otherwise.

Where we fit, and where we do not

We are one board, one roadmap and a changelog. There is no survey product and no priority matrix, so Frill is a wider tool than ours for the same reason it costs more once your backlog grows.

Both Frill and UserJot let you keep a board private from the public, Frill through a privacy add on or the Growth plan, UserJot through private boards on Starter at twenty nine dollars. We have nothing equivalent. A board of ours is published to everybody or to nobody, with no password and no invite list.

Both also give unlimited team members well before we do. Frill includes unlimited admins on its cheapest paid plan, and UserJot includes unlimited users on its free plan. Our nine dollar plan has no team members at all, and a team only arrives on the thirty nine dollar plan.

What we do that neither of them does is write a multiplier onto the vote itself when it is cast, from the tier the voter sits in, on every plan including the nine dollar one.

What is Frill, and what is UserJot?

Frill is a feedback board, a roadmap and a changelog sold together, with surveys and a priority matrix included, billed per workspace and capped by how many ideas are open.

UserJot is a feedback board with a roadmap and a changelog, billed per workspace, with a genuinely free tier capped by the number of boards rather than by anything you post to them.

Does either one have a free plan?

UserJot does and Frill does not. UserJot's Free plan, read on their site on 14 September 2026, gives unlimited posts and unlimited users on two boards, forever, with no card.

Frill's pricing page read the same day carries a fourteen day trial that asks for no card and no free tier underneath it.

The honest summary

Frill is the bigger product and it charges you the moment your backlog gets busy. UserJot is the leaner product and it is free until you need a third board or a custom domain.

Neither weights a vote by what the voter pays, which is the one place we differ from both of them, at nine dollars flat.

The Frill alternative page and the UserJot one carry each side on its own.
