What UserJot is opinionated about
Four things that shape every decision.
Feedback work is craft. The tool should feel like one. These are the four commitments that shape how UserJot is built, and together they are what makes it feel lighter than a suite.
See how we think about pricingFocused, not bundled
Feedback, roadmap, and changelog. Nothing else. We do not sell a suite because most teams do not need one, and the suites that exist are heavier than the work.
Designed end to end
Portal, widget, dashboard, emails, mobile. Every touchpoint drawn by the same hand, with the same standards. The product looks current to your team and to the people it reaches.
Flat, not metered by team size
Bring your PMs, engineers, designers, support, and customer success into the loop. The invoice never asks you to leave someone out.
Ready in minutes, not weeks
Thirty seconds to a live board. No configuration sessions, no field mapping, no training certification. Feedback starts landing the same day.
We set up UserJot and our users actually started leaving feedback. Clean, simple, and we finally know what to build next.
The customer feedback platform where users vote on what ships next.
UserJot brings every customer request into one place, ranks it by the users who want it most, and turns the loop from submission to shipped feature into something your users can watch happen. Feedback, roadmap, and changelog, in one tool.
Ranked feedback board
Every request lands in one ranked board instead of getting buried across email, Slack, and support threads.
AI duplicate detection
AI surfaces similar requests as users type so votes land on one canonical post instead of splitting across duplicates.
In-app widget
Embed feedback collection directly inside your product so users can submit ideas without leaving the page.
Status-change emails
When a request moves to Review, Planned, or In Progress, every voter gets the update automatically.
Weekly digest
Top new requests worth voting on arrive in a weekly email that pulls users back into the board.
Closed-loop updates
The moment a feature ships, voters hear about it through the changelog and the feedback loop closes itself.
Triage
A triage flow built to get you to inbox zero.
Most tools give you a status field or workflow. UserJot gives you a context-aware action bar that shows only the actions that move each item forward. Triage becomes something you finish, not something you dread.
Actions that fit the moment
Every item shows only the moves that apply at its stage. No generic status dropdown to interpret.
Guardrails built in
Soft limits nudge you toward a focused roadmap and work-in-progress you can actually finish.
Stale and ghost detection
Old items resurface on their own. You keep them, refresh them, or close them.
Auto-advance, like an inbox
After any action, the next item loads. Triage takes minutes, not afternoons.
How we think about pricing
We charge for the product, not for the people using it.
It sounds like a small distinction. In practice, it shapes how the whole system feels to operate.
A feedback tool's job is to make it easy for users and teammates to speak up 01. Voters, commenters, engineers, designers, customer success folks, people arriving through a shared link. They are the system working. We never want the invoice to ask whether you really want that many of them.
So UserJot scales on the shape of the product you pick (custom domains, integrations, boards, SSO) 02, not on team headcount or end-user activity. A five-person team pays the same as a fifty-person team. A board with a hundred voters costs the same as a board with ten thousand.
What changes when pricing works this way is subtle. Teams invite the whole product org into the board, put the widget in more places, and ship the same features to more people 03. The loop gets wider on its own. That width is the actual product.
By the numbers
Three numbers worth knowing.
What a ten-person team pays on Aha! Ideas, what the same team pays on UserJot, and what it costs to get started.
$590
What 10 users pay on Aha! Ideas Advanced
$59 per user per month on annual billing. Higher on monthly. Ideas Essentials runs $390 per month, but the public portal is gated to Advanced.
$59
What any team pays on UserJot Professional
Same price for five users, fifty users, or five hundred. Starter is $29 per month. Free is free.
$0
Free forever, unlimited users
Two boards, public roadmap, public changelog, every teammate you want. Aha! does not offer a free plan, only a 30-day trial.

Closing the loop
The last mile of feedback, automated.
Aha! keeps release notes tied to the roadmap. There is no dedicated customer-facing changelog. UserJot treats the announcement as part of the same loop as the request.
Voters hear first
Everyone who voted or commented gets an email the moment you publish. The list is built for you.
One system, not three
Feedback, roadmap, and changelog share state. Shipping a feature moves the right pieces on its own.
Changelog software with AI that writes, schedules, and notifies for you.
AI changelog software that writes updates from your shipped features, schedules posts, and auto-notifies users who requested them. The in-app widget helps users discover every release the moment you publish.
AI writes complete changelogs
Tell the AI to write a changelog from closed feedback and it drafts the post, title, and tags in your voice.
Automatic user notifications
When you publish, users who voted on those features get an email automatically. No manual list management.
In-app widget
Users can read the latest changelog without leaving your product.
Update indicator
A small badge appears the moment a new changelog lands, so users never miss what shipped.
Link to feedback
Every update links back to the original feature requests and the customers who asked for them.
Schedule posts
Ask the AI to schedule for Monday at 2pm, or let it pick the right time for your audience.
“Our strategy is to stay close to our users and obsess over quality. UserJot makes that easy: one place to listen, build what users want, and keep the feedback loop short.”
“UserJot has noticeably improved our product process. Instead of piecing together feedback from support, email, and social, we have one hub to collect feedback, gauge interest, and keep users updated on improvements. It's helped us move faster and focus on things customers actually want.”
“We set up UserJot and our users actually started leaving feedback. Clean, simple, and we finally know what to build next.”
“Ever since we added UserJot, the most common thing users mention in reviews is that we actually listen. It's helped us build a loyal community of users who feel like they're shaping the app with us.”
“We'd been looking for a feedback board for some time. Every app we found was either bloated or expensive. Userjot hits the sweet spot! The UI is next-level, and the pace of improvement has been amazing!”
Migration
A handful of minutes to import your Aha! Ideas data.
Most comparison pages promise easy migration. Ours is genuinely short because Aha! ships a clean CSV export and we built a mapper that reads it. Ideas, comments, votes, and users come across intact.
Export from Aha! Ideas
Aha!'s admin area exports ideas, comments, votes, and users to CSV. A few clicks, no pre-configuration.
Upload to UserJot
Send us the export or upload it directly. Our AI proposes the mapping to boards and statuses. You confirm it in a single pass.
Point your links at the new home
Update your feedback link, add redirects if your Aha! portal was on a custom domain, and you are live. Most teams switch over a weekend with no downtime.
If your Aha! setup is customized or unusually large, reach out. We will run the migration with you and make sure nothing is lost in the move.
Pricing
Pricing that does not punish adoption.
Flat monthly pricing with unlimited users on every plan. Your bill stays the same at a hundred users or ten thousand, on quiet months or loud ones.

Questions
The ones that come up before teams switch.
Pricing math, migration, how Aha! Roadmaps fits in, integrations, and how the two products differ in shape. Answered plainly.
Two differences. First, shape: Aha! Ideas is a satellite to the Aha! suite. It is designed to feed an enterprise roadmap and planning system. UserJot is a focused tool for feedback, roadmap, and changelog as one loop. Second, pricing: Aha! Ideas charges per user, starting at $39 per month and climbing to $59 for the Advanced tier that unlocks the public portal. UserJot is flat, with unlimited users on every plan. Aha! is real software for real orgs. It just optimizes for a different shape of team than UserJot does.
Aha! Ideas Essentials is $39 per user per month on annual billing. Ideas Advanced, the tier that includes the public portal, is $59 per user per month. So a five-person team runs $195 to $295 per month. Ten people is $390 to $590. Twenty-five people is $975 to $1,475. UserJot stays flat. Starter is $29 per month. Professional is $59 per month. Unlimited team members on both. The point is not only that we are cheaper at scale, though we are by an order of magnitude. It is that pricing should reward bringing your whole product org into the loop, not meter it.
If Aha! Roadmaps is load-bearing for strategic planning across portfolios, the Ideas add-on slots into that workflow. Keep the suite. If your team uses Aha! Roadmaps mostly because Ideas came with it, the math changes fast. Most teams we talk to were paying for a suite to get one product. UserJot replaces the one product and removes the suite.
Yes. Aha! exports ideas, comments, votes, and users to CSV from its admin panel. Send us the export or upload it directly, and our AI proposes the mapping to UserJot boards and statuses. You confirm it in a single pass. Most migrations land inside a coffee break. For larger or customized exports, reach out and we will run the migration with you.
Most teams do not. Aha! is built for organizations with dedicated product operations, OKRs tracked across every layer of the org chart, and portfolios of products that have to reconcile. For startups, small SaaS teams, and single-product companies, that depth is overhead rather than value. UserJot keeps the model deliberately simple: Boards, Posts, Statuses. One level deep.
Thirty seconds from signup to a live board on UserJot. Pick a workspace name, share the link, start collecting feedback. Aha! is a different category of setup. Expect workspace configuration, custom fields, workflow mapping, integration wiring, and onboarding sessions before the first piece of feedback lands. Aha! support is genuinely good at walking teams through it. The question is whether you want to be walked through anything at all.
Professional ($59 per month) includes SAML SSO for unlimited team members. Automatic Login, a JWT-based SSO-lite flow, is available on Starter and Professional for identifying in-app users. Aha! places SSO on its Enterprise tier at $99 per user per month. At a team of ten, that is $990 per month for SSO. On UserJot it is $59, regardless of team size.
Slack, Linear, Discord, webhooks, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents. The MCP server is uncommon in the category. Claude, Cursor, or any other agent can triage feedback, update the roadmap, and draft changelogs on your behalf. Aha! has a larger integration catalog oriented around its suite, notably Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Salesforce. If those are load-bearing for your workflow, that is worth weighing. For most teams, the set we cover is the set they actually use.
Yes. One of the most common pieces of feedback we hear from teams migrating off Aha! is that their customer success, support, and marketing teammates can finally participate without a training session. The interface is the interface. There is no admin tier versus contributor tier to interpret.
Yes, on paid plans. White-labeling is a standard inclusion on Starter and Professional. Aha! offers branding control in its higher tiers. Our view is that branding should not require an enterprise contract.
Aha! maintains release notes tied to its roadmap, but there is no dedicated customer-facing changelog product. UserJot has one, and it is part of the same system as feedback and roadmap. When you move a Post to Completed, UserJot drafts the announcement from the original request and the discussion around it, in your voice, ready to review. Publishing notifies every voter and commenter automatically.
Both are supported. Guest posting lets users submit without an account or email. Anonymous mode strips author names from public submissions entirely. These significantly improve conversion rates on sensitive feedback. Aha! Ideas requires an account to submit.
