Feedback tool pricing data, thirty two vendors read on one day

This is the feedback tool pricing data as a file. Thirty two vendors, one row each, carrying the entry price, the unit that price is charged on, what the free tier holds, the date the page was read and the address it was read at.

Every row was read in a browser on the vendor's own pricing page, with the billing switch on the yearly side wherever a vendor publishes one. Thirty of the thirty two were re-read on 15 September 2026.

Two of them, Nolt and Feature Upvote, refused the browser that day and still carry their 14 September reading, which is said on the row rather than papered over. Seven rows were read again on 2 and 3 October 2026, after AnnounceKit split its pricing into separate products, and carry that date. No figure here comes from another comparison site, and the address in the last column is where each one was found.

Take the file. It may be copied, quoted and used commercially with no attribution and no link back.

None of it needs attribution. If you would rather point at it than copy it, the address is https://votefirst.app/en/data/feedback-tool-pricing-dataset and the figures on it were read between 14 September and 3 October 2026.

What is in the feedback tool pricing dataset?

The feedback tool pricing dataset has six columns and thirty two rows, and the two that matter most are the ones comparison pages usually drop.

The entry price is the cheapest paid plan on the vendor's own page, written the way the vendor writes it, including whether the figure is a billed annually rate or a monthly one.

The billing unit is what that price is charged per, which is the column that makes two headline prices comparable or proves they never were.

The free tier column says what the free plan actually holds rather than yes or no, because a free plan capped at one board and one admin is a different offer from one capped at two hundred and fifty feedback items.

The read date and the source address are on every row. A price with no date is a rumour, and this dataset is one day's reading rather than a claim about what anything costs today.

The billing units are set out with what each one means for a reader who wants the argument rather than the table.

What is the median price of a feedback tool?

Twenty nine dollars a month, across the twenty nine rows that carry a figure.

The range around that median is wider than the median suggests. The cheapest figure in the set is five dollars a user a month, which is Trello and which is not a feedback tool at all, and the cheapest that is one is nine dollars a month.

The dearest entry price is two hundred and forty nine dollars a month, on a product whose unit is a page.

So the spread between the cheapest and the dearest entry price in this category is about fifty to one, and almost none of that spread is explained by features. It is explained by the unit, which is the next question.

Which billing unit does each vendor use?

Thirteen distinct units across thirty two vendors, and only six of them grow with the number of people who take part.

Six vendors bill per board. Six bill for a workspace. Five bill per seat. Four bill per tracked user, being anybody who posts, votes or comments. Two bill per monthly active visitor. Two bill per user.

The remaining seven each bill on a unit no other vendor in the set uses, being a maker, a creator, a paid user, a module, a page, a product or a flat plan.

The four tracked user vendors and the two monthly active visitor vendors are the ones whose bill rises when the board works.

That is a coherent business and it is also the single fact that decides whether a fifteen dollar tool is cheaper than a sixty dollar one. The arithmetic at any board size is here.

Which vendors publish no price at all?

Three of the thirty two, and the reasons differ enough to be worth separating.

Pendo publishes custom pricing on three of its four plans. UserVoice quotes on feedback volume, the tools used and the integrations connected, and says in its own words that it never charges by seat.

ProdPad publishes a figure that a crawler never sees, because the module builder renders it in the browser and the page a fetch returns is blank where the price should be.

A fourth row carries no single figure by design. Fider is free to a fair use limit of two hundred and fifty feedback items and twenty five dollars a month after it, and it is open source, so the third option is running it yourself for the cost of a server.

Is there a free feedback tool in this data?

Fourteen of the thirty two carry something free, and the caps are what separate them.

The free tier column holds the cap rather than a yes, so the row says one board and one admin, or one seat, or two hundred and fifty feedback items, or a hundred tracked users.

Reading fourteen caps side by side takes about a minute and it eliminates most of them for any given team faster than any feature comparison does.

VoteFirst is not one of the fourteen. There is no free plan here, and a team whose board will stay small is genuinely cheaper on somebody else's free tier.

How was this dataset built, and when does it change?

By hand, in a browser, one vendor at a time, and it is rebuilt from the same ledger every time a vendor is re read.

The file is generated by pricing-dataset.py in this project's own research directory, which reads the vendor ledger and writes the CSV. Nothing is typed into the file twice, so the page and the file cannot disagree with each other.

Three vendors refuse a plain fetch with a bot check and all three were read in a browser instead. Three publish no annual figure anywhere. Prices move, and where a number here disagrees with the vendor's own page today, the vendor's page wins.

The refresh rule is the same rule every other data page here runs on. A vendor figure older than ninety days fails the freshness check, so the ledger is re read before that and the file is regenerated from it. The next refresh is due by 13 December 2026.

Who is this dataset for?

Anybody writing about this category who would rather quote a dated reading than a screenshot from last year.

If you are shopping rather than writing, the same figures are grouped by what each vendor's pricing page does, which is a faster read than a CSV. The same seventy domains are ranked on the web's link graph in a second file, for anybody working out which of them is reachable.
