Choose Featurebase if you want

  • Free for one seat. Featurebase starts at zero with one board and one roadmap, while VoteFirst starts with a 14 day trial and then $9/mo.
  • A trial that asks for no card. It runs ten days with no card asked, while VoteFirst runs 14 days and asks for a card at signup.

  • SAML SSO and SCIM. They come on Enterprise, while VoteFirst signs your users in with a signed JWT on Pro.
  • Your own domain on every plan. Featurebase puts a custom domain on all plans, while VoteFirst has it on Pro only.

Choose VoteFirst if you want

  • A price that does not grow per seat. Three people on Featurebase Growth cost $87/mo, while VoteFirst Pro is $39 for the plan.
  • Votes weighted by what voters pay. It comes on every plan, with each voter's plan read from Stripe, Paddle or a CSV.
  • A Swift package for your app. Users vote inside your iOS or macOS app, on every plan.
  • Your Featurebase board in one paste. Posts, statuses and vote counts come across from a public board.

Let your biggest accounts outvote the rest.

Votes are weighted by each voter's plan, which Stripe, Paddle or a CSV keeps current, so big accounts rise.

Its pricing page is silent on weighting by customer, so ask first.

How weighted voting works

Add a teammate without the price jumping.

Pro is a flat $39/mo with the team included, so the bill stays put when a teammate joins.

Featurebase bills each seat, so three people on Growth come to $87/mo.

What each plan includes

Shipping on the App Store? Put voting in the app.

The Swift package renders the board natively in SwiftUI for iOS and macOS, with no plan upgrade needed.

Featurebase's pricing page lists no iOS kit, so confirm before you plan around one.

Feature voting inside iOS apps

What you gain by choosing VoteFirst

One price for the whole team

Pro covers the team at a flat $39/mo, so adding a person never changes the bill.

A feedback board, not a help desk

VoteFirst does one job, collecting and ranking requests, so there is less to set up.

Big accounts first

Weighted votes lift the customers who matter most.

A short move from Featurebase

A public board imports in one go, so your votes and statuses keep their shape.

Leaving Featurebase? Bring the board with you.

The board has to be public, because the import reads it directly and you retype nothing.

  1. Paste your public Featurebase board link

    Open Import in the VoteFirst dashboard and drop the link in.

  2. Watch the board fill

    Each post arrives with its status and vote count, so nothing starts from zero.

  3. Send your voters to the new home

    Embed the widget, add the Swift package or just share the link.

What comes across

  • Post titles and descriptions
  • Statuses
  • Vote counts

What stays behind

  • Private boards
  • Integrations and webhooks you set up in Featurebase
  • Changelog entries
