How weighted voting works

Show voters what ships next, inside your app.

A roadmap and a changelog sit inside your app, so voters see the answer where they asked.

Both come on every plan, with an Atom feed on the changelog.

Feature voting inside iOS apps

Need an API or your own domain? Pro has both.

Pro adds a REST API and a custom domain, so your own code and your own brand sit on the board.

WishKit's pricing page states neither.

What the API can do

What you gain by choosing VoteFirst

A list led by your customers

Weighted votes put the people who matter most ahead of drive by votes.

A roadmap and changelog together

Both are on every plan, so shipped work reaches voters without extra tools.

An API when you need one

Pro adds a REST API and a custom domain for your own tools and brand.

A tidy start

The new board holds only the requests you still want.
