Feature Upvote Alternative: Per-Board Pricing or a Flat HITL Workspace?

Looking for a feature upvote alternative when the real question is per-board feedback pricing, not a second copy of the same voting board? Feature Upvote (featureupvote.com, Barbary Software SL) is a simple feedback board billed per board: suggestions, upvotes, statuses, duplicate merge, and notifications, aimed hard at game studios and player feedback. It is not a roadmap product. Feedjolt is a lightweight human-in-the-loop (HITL) voting board of record — public feedback board, voting, public roadmap, changelog, and MCP where agents propose and a human decides — on a flat workspace, not a per-board meter. Same switch-intent lane. Different default: pay again for every board, or one workspace plus a roadmap and changelog Feature Upvote says it does not ship. Start from the homepage only: https://www.feedjolt.com/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=seo-featureupvote-alternative.

This page cites Feature Upvote’s public homepage, pricing page, and Canny compare page from a 2026-09-29 Madrid spot check (pricing HTML fetched the same day; the yearly toggle was the active control). Re-open featureupvote.com, featureupvote.com/pricing, and featureupvote.com/vs/canny-alternative the week you buy. If a price or plan name is not on the page that day, treat it as unknown. Do not import figures from slide decks or category roundups. For the flat-price side of the same search, see flat-price feedback boards, Canny alternatives with flat pricing, Feedjolt vs Canny, and how to choose a feedback board.

What Feature Upvote optimizes for

The homepage title on 2026-09-29 was “Player feedback boards for game developers.” It leads with player feedback: a public or private board in about two minutes, suggestions and upvotes, a spam filter, duplicate merge, and automatic notify on status change. Statuses named there are planned, under consideration, and not planned. Jira and Discord are called out, plus custom branding. Company line on the pricing page: Barbary Software SL, Carrer Doctor Trueta 65, 08005 Barcelona. Fair strengths, and only those:

• One branded feedback board — players or customers submit suggestions and upvote them
• Public or private board — setup framed as minutes, not a suite rollout
• Voting — the homepage’s job is to quantify what players want
• Duplicate merge — “a few clicks,” in their words
• Spam filter — junk stays off the board
• Status updates and notifications — contributors see planned / under consideration / not planned, and get notified when status changes
• Slack and Discord — listed on the Indie card; Jira is not on that card (see the gate below)

Do not call it a suite. The job is one voting board a community will actually open — often a game studio and its players.

What they say they leave out

Feature Upvote’s own Canny compare page says they have not implemented roadmaps, user segmentation, or categories. They organize with statuses and tags instead. That is a product choice, not a missing screenshot.

A customer changelog is a separate question. The pricing-page footer links to a Changelog under “Using Feature Upvote,” next to the help centre and demo video. Treat that link as the company changelog unless a product page says customers get a changelog of their own. On the 2026-09-29 pages used here, a customer-facing changelog module is unknown — not claimed, so not assumed. Tags stand in for categories. Segmentation is something they say they left out.

Per-board pricing vs a flat workspace

This is the page. Feature Upvote’s FAQ states the price is per feedback board. There are no limits, on that board, for suggestions, comments, votes, contributors, or admins. You can add and remove boards at any time, and you pay for a board when you need it. Some customers with two similar products use one board plus tags. Typically, they say, you use one board per product.

The unit is the board, not the seat. Unlimited contributors and unlimited team members are on both paid cards. The meter that repeats is the board. A second product that needs its own board is the same amount again.

Feedjolt’s contrast is a flat workspace: a HITL voting board of record, a public roadmap, a changelog, and MCP where an agent proposes and a human decides. This article does not quote a Feedjolt dollar figure. Confirm the live homepage. The shape question is enough: does the next product add another board bill, or does the workspace stay one bill?

One board, a second board, and the line above ten

Use the yearly toggle. On 2026-09-29 it was the active control, and the visible USD was Indie $49 per board per month and Standard $99 per board per month. The page says “Save 20% with yearly pricing.” Do not treat that line as proof that monthly times 0.8 equals the yearly figure. Quote data-prices instead.

• One Indie board: $49 per board per month on the yearly display. One community, one URL, voting and statuses, Slack and Discord.
• A second Indie board: the FAQ’s unit is the board, so a second product adds the same amount again. Two Indie boards at that displayed rate are two times $49 per board per month. Tags on one board are their escape hatch when two products share an audience. Separate audiences mean a second board and a second line.
• Standard: $99 per board per month on the yearly display, repeated per extra board. That card is where Custom CSS, Jira / Microsoft Teams / Zapier, SAML SSO, and hiding “Powered by Feature Upvote” turn on. Still per board.
• More than 10 boards: Enterprise is “Price on request.” Reasons listed: pricing for more than 10 boards, security audit, custom terms, custom data processing agreement, payment via reseller. No Enterprise dollar on the page. Unknown. Do not import one.

What the pricing page showed on 2026-09-29

Opened featureupvote.com/pricing the same day as this draft. button#yearly carried is-active. No permanent free plan is listed. Enterprise is price on request.

• Visible USD, yearly toggle: Indie $49/board/month, Standard $99/board/month
• USD in data-prices: Indie monthly 59, yearly 49; Standard monthly 119, yearly 99. These are per board per month
• EUR in data-prices: Indie 57 monthly / 47 yearly; Standard 115 / 95
• GBP in data-prices: Indie 49 monthly / 41 yearly; Standard 99 / 82

Indie vs Standard is a feature gate, not a second product

Both cards are per board. Indie is not a “small studio edition” with a different object. It is the same board with a shorter checklist. On the 2026-09-29 Indie card, included items were:

• Unlimited contributors and unlimited team members
• Multiple languages
• Custom domain name
• Private boards
• Custom statuses and tags
• Slack and Discord
• GDPR compliance
• Same day support

Marked unavailable on that Indie card (class red in the HTML): Custom CSS; Microsoft Teams, Jira, and Zapier; SAML 2.0 SSO; and hiding “Powered by Feature Upvote.” Standard includes those four, and its support line is priority support rather than the Indie “same day support” line. A private board on Indie is not the same claim as SAML SSO.

Trial, cancel, bank transfer, charities

30-day free trial, no credit card required, on the pricing page. Cancel any time: the FAQ says no penalties, charges, or minimum duration. The trial note says almost all features are enabled during the trial, and a paid plan keeps suggestions and configuration. First charge when you start a paid account; then monthly, or one year later on yearly accounts.

Bank transfer is on request, and only when both are true: you pay yearly, and the yearly invoice is at least $1,000. Below that, the page points at card payments via Stripe. A single Indie board at the yearly display does not, by itself, describe a $1,000 invoice — do not assume bank transfer is available for one small board.

Charity and non-profit discount: the FAQ says yes. The amount is not on the page. Unknown. Do not guess a percent.

Feature Upvote vs Canny, sourced claims only

For featureupvote vs canny, use their compare page for positioning and the pricing page for money. Do not copy the compare page’s prices.

Claims that still match a 2026-09-29 read of that page: they call themselves the simpler board; posting or commenting needs an email, while voting can be anonymous, with a spam filter; they use tags instead of categories; they say they have not implemented roadmaps, user segmentation, or categories. Pricing cards say “multiple languages.” The compare page says 15+ and names Japanese, German, French, Russian, and Icelandic — treat 15+ as their claim and re-check the list. None of the no-login voting claims are claims about Feedjolt.

Stale against the pricing page the same day:

• The compare page still says Feature Upvote is $99 per board with everything included. The yearly default on the pricing page is Indie $49 and Standard $99 per board per month, and Indie does not include custom CSS, Jira / Teams / Zapier, SAML SSO, or hiding the branding.
• The compare page still quotes a Canny Growth monthly price and an admin add-on. Those figures are not repeated here. Canny’s current price was not re-opened on canny.io/pricing, so it is unknown in this article.
• The compare page talks as if CSS, SSO, and Jira-class integrations come with Feature Upvote generally, including private boards via password or SSO. The pricing HTML marks CSS, Jira / Teams / Zapier, and SAML SSO unavailable on Indie and included on Standard. Slack and Discord are on Indie.

Which job you are actually buying

Rows, not a podium. Stay with Feature Upvote when you have one board, you want no-login voting (email to post or comment, anonymous vote, spam filter — their claim), you want multiple languages, a private board, and Slack or Discord, and you do not need a public roadmap or a customer changelog. Look at a flat workspace when a second or third board would repeat the bill, or when the job includes a public roadmap, a changelog that closes the loop, and MCP with a human merge.

Question	One Feature Upvote board	Flat HITL workspace (Feedjolt)
Unit you pay for	Per feedback board. Second product usually means a second board and the same amount again	Flat workspace, not a per-board meter. No Feedjolt dollar figure in this article — confirm live
What the board is for	Suggestions, upvotes, statuses, merge, notify. Homepage leans player / game-dev	Public voting board of record for ranked demand
Public roadmap	They say they declined roadmaps. Do not assume one	Public roadmap is part of the product
Changelog	Footer Changelog reads as the company changelog. A customer changelog module is unknown	Changelog that can close the loop after a ship
Who may vote	Their compare page: email to post or comment; voting can be anonymous; spam filter	Not claimed as Feature Upvote-style anonymous voting
Agents	Not a first-party MCP HITL product on the pages cited here	MCP: agents propose, a human decides
Indie gates	No custom CSS, no Jira / Teams / Zapier, no SAML SSO, branding stays unless you buy Standard	Do not shop Feedjolt as if it included those Standard-only Feature Upvote gates
When it fails	You needed a roadmap, a customer changelog, or you are about to multiply boards	You needed anonymous voting, 15+ languages, custom CSS, or SAML SSO as the reason to buy

Peers, as links only: FeedBear (flat simple portal), FeatureOS (suite modules), Frill alternatives, Supahub, and QuickHunt. None of them changes the Feature Upvote fact: the meter is the board.

Where Feedjolt places

Feedjolt is a lightweight HITL voting board. Customers get a public feedback board and voting. You get a public roadmap and a changelog. MCP is there so an agent can propose — cluster, draft, suggest a merge — and a human decides what becomes the public record. Packaging is a flat workspace, not per-board pricing. It is not a suite.

This page does not claim a knowledge base, SSO, surveys, custom CSS, anonymous voting, Intercom-native widget parity, or a 15-language portal. Custom CSS, Jira, and SAML SSO are Feature Upvote Standard items, still billed per board. They are not Feedjolt claims.

They already have voting. The wedge is what they say they do not ship, and what the meter does next: a public roadmap, a changelog that closes the loop, human-approved merges, and a workspace that does not add a board charge because a second product appeared. Agents propose. They do not publish the roadmap alone.

Pick Feature Upvote for one board, no-login voting, languages, a private board, and Slack or Discord, when you do not want a roadmap. Pick Feedjolt when the next board would repeat the bill, or the job is ranked demand with a public roadmap, a changelog, and a human on MCP. Run both only if you need their anonymous voting or Standard-only SSO and CSS and a separate board of record — one owner for the public totals. Pick neither alone for a CRM or a research suite.

FAQ

What is a practical feature upvote alternative if the job is a voting board, not a clone?

A practical feature upvote alternative is a voting board you can run in public without buying Feature Upvote’s per-board meter a second time, and without pretending you need their whole checklist. If you have one community, want email-to-post and anonymous voting, and you do not want a roadmap, Feature Upvote’s own board is the straightforward buy — Indie at the yearly displayed $49 per board per month when you do not need CSS, Jira, or SAML. If the job is ranked demand plus a public roadmap, a changelog, and MCP where a human still decides, Feedjolt is the flat-workspace version of that job. It is not a second copy of Feature Upvote, and it does not claim their anonymous voting or their Standard-only SSO.

Feature Upvote vs Canny: what do they claim, and what is stale?

On featureupvote vs canny, Feature Upvote’s compare page claims a simpler board, voting without an account, tags instead of categories, and no roadmap. Those positioning claims are theirs. The same page’s prices are stale against the 2026-09-29 pricing page: it still presents one all-in per-board price with everything included, while the live cards split Indie and Standard and leave SSO, Jira, Zapier, Teams, and custom CSS off Indie. It also quotes a Canny Growth price this article will not repeat, because Canny’s current price is unknown here until you re-open Canny’s pricing page. Do not choose on the compare page’s dollar lines.

How does per board feedback pricing work?

Per board feedback pricing on Feature Upvote means one price per feedback board, with unlimited suggestions, comments, votes, contributors, and admins on that board. Yearly is the default toggle: Indie $49 and Standard $99 per board per month visible in USD on 2026-09-29. Monthly counterparts in the page JSON are Indie 59 and Standard 119 USD per board per month. There is a 30-day trial and no permanent free plan listed. Above ten boards, Enterprise is price on request, with no dollar amount on the page. Adding a product usually means adding a board and adding the same amount again. A flat workspace is the alternative shape when that multiplier is the problem — see how to choose a feedback board before you stack boards out of habit.
