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 every decision, and together they make UserJot feel unmistakably lighter to run.

See how we think about pricing
  • Focused, not bloated

    Feedback, roadmap, and changelog. Nothing else. That restraint is what lets every surface feel considered and every flow feel fast.

  • Designed end to end

    Portal, widget, dashboard, emails, mobile. Every touchpoint drawn by the same hand, with the same standards. The product looks current for your team and for the people it reaches.

  • Flat, not per board

    Boards are how a tool reaches different products and audiences. Pricing that taxes the count taxes the premise. Flat pricing with generous board limits keeps the tool on your side, not on your invoice.

  • One loop, not three tools

    Feedback, roadmap, and changelog share state. Shipping a feature moves the right pieces on its own. Nobody reassembles the story across three separate subscriptions.

We set up UserJot and our users actually started leaving feedback. Clean, simple, and we finally know what to build next.

Customer feedback platform

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 feedback tools give you a status dropdown. 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 every board you run.

It sounds like a small distinction. In practice, it shapes how the whole system feels to operate.

A feedback tool earns its place by being everywhere a user might speak . Embedded in one product, opened at a subdomain for another, private for a closed beta, public for the main app. The wider the surface, the more signal comes back.

Per-board pricing quietly taxes that shape. Three products become three bills. A private board for an internal team becomes a fourth . At some point the invoice asks whether you really need all of them, and the honest answer is that you do.

UserJot scales on what the product can do, not on how many surfaces you point it at . A team with one product pays the same as a team with five. The shape of the bill stops arguing with the shape of the work.

By the numbers

Three numbers worth knowing.

What UserJot costs on day one, what a Starter plan covers at scale, and how long it takes to go from signup to a live board.

Side by side

UserJot vs Feature Upvote, feature by feature.

A feature-by-feature read of where the two products diverge. Price is the loudest difference, but scope, design, and roadmap/changelog availability matter just as much.

Closing the loop

The last mile of feedback, automated.

Shipping is where most feedback tools end. It is where UserJot's work is most useful. The blank page stays closed, and the right people hear first.

AI drafts the changelog from the feedback itself.

Move a Post to Completed and UserJot writes the announcement from the original request and the discussion around it. In your voice, ready to review. No one opens an empty doc on a Friday afternoon.

Voters hear first

Everyone who voted or commented gets an email the moment you publish. The list is built for you.

Scheduled updates

Queue announcements for when your users are awake. A weekly digest gently re-engages the quieter ones.

Product changelog software

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.”

Filip MinevCofounder, Tally

“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.”

Corey RabazinskiVP of Marketing, Scite

“We set up UserJot and our users actually started leaving feedback. Clean, simple, and we finally know what to build next.”

Carl LindesvärdFounder, OpenPanel

“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.”

Igor AmidzicFounder, Kualia

“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!”

Nuno TomásFounder @ IsDown

Migration

One session to move off Feature Upvote.

Every comparison page promises easy migration. Ours is genuinely short because we built a proper CSV importer, not a handoff to a spreadsheet. Posts, votes, comments, and statuses come across intact.

  1. Export from Feature Upvote

    Feature Upvote includes a CSV export in account settings. Download your feedback, votes, comments, statuses, and board structure in a single file.

  2. Upload to UserJot

    Our importer accepts the CSV directly. AI proposes the board and status mapping from the file structure. You confirm it in a single pass, and every post, vote, and comment comes across.

  3. Point your links at the new home

    Update your feedback link, add redirects if you had a Feature Upvote custom domain, and you are live. Most teams switch over a weekend with no downtime.

If your Feature Upvote setup has unusual tags, custom statuses, or an Enterprise configuration, reach out. We will run the migration with you and make sure nothing is lost in the move.

Questions

The ones that come up before teams switch.

Pricing math, migration, scope, integrations, and how the two products differ in shape. Answered plainly.

  • Two differences. First, scope: Feature Upvote is a feedback-collection tool. UserJot does feedback, roadmap, and changelog as one designed loop. Second, pricing: Feature Upvote charges per board, so two products mean two bills and five products mean five. UserJot is flat, with five boards on Starter and unlimited on Professional. Both products are simple. They are built for different kinds of teams: Feature Upvote for teams who want one small feedback board and nothing else, UserJot for teams who want the whole loop in one place.

  • Feature Upvote charges per board. Indie is $49 per month per board, Standard is $99 per month per board. At one board, the range is $49 to $99. At three boards, $147 to $297. At five boards, $245 to $495. Ten or more boards requires an Enterprise contract. UserJot stays flat. Starter is $29 per month (five boards included). Professional is $59 per month (unlimited boards). At three boards, the comparison is $147 to $297 against $29. The point is not only that we are cheaper, though we are. It is that pricing should track what the product does, not how many boards you point it at.

  • Yes. Both are first-class surfaces, built into every plan including the free one. The roadmap updates itself when feedback status changes. The changelog drafts announcements from the original requests and their discussion. Feature Upvote is a feedback-collection tool and does not publish roadmaps or changelogs at any plan.

  • Simplicity looks different in the two tools. Feature Upvote keeps the surface very small: a board, voting, comments, tags. That is real clarity, and it earns respect. UserJot is simple at each surface, but it covers three surfaces (feedback, roadmap, changelog) instead of one. If a team is certain they will never publish a roadmap or a changelog, Feature Upvote's smaller surface is the honest answer. For everyone else, UserJot keeps the per-surface simplicity while covering the whole loop.

  • Yes. Feature Upvote supports a CSV export in account settings. Upload the file to UserJot's importer and AI proposes the board and status mapping from the file structure. You confirm it in one pass, and every post, vote, comment, and status comes across. For anything unusual, like custom statuses, tags, or an Enterprise configuration, reach out and we will run the migration with you.

  • Slack, Linear, Discord, webhooks, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents. One integration is included on Starter. Professional includes all of them. Feature Upvote covers Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, and Zapier. Most teams switching from Feature Upvote to UserJot land on the Linear integration, which moves a request from a voter's comment into an engineering ticket without copy-paste.

  • Yes, on Starter ($29 per month) and above. Your board lives at feedback.yourcompany.com or any subdomain, with full branding control. Feature Upvote includes custom domains on both Indie ($49 per board per month) and Standard ($99 per board per month), so at one board the two are close. The gap widens with every additional board.

  • Both tools let you hide vendor branding on paid plans. UserJot includes white-labeling from Starter ($29 per month). Feature Upvote hides "Powered by Feature Upvote" on Indie ($49 per board per month) and Standard.

  • Professional ($59 per month, unlimited boards) includes SAML SSO. Automatic Login (a JWT-based SSO-lite flow) is available on Starter and Professional for in-app identification. Feature Upvote includes SSO from Indie at $49 per board per month, so the comparison depends on board count. At two boards or more, UserJot Professional is the cheaper SSO tier.

  • It is part of the same system as feedback and roadmap. When you move a Post to Completed, UserJot drafts the changelog announcement from the original request and the conversation around it, in your voice, ready to review. Publishing notifies every voter and commenter automatically, and pulses a new-update indicator in the in-app widget. Feature Upvote has no changelog surface, so teams running a public changelog elsewhere typically bring it into UserJot when they switch.

  • Both are supported. Guest posting lets users submit without an account. Anonymous mode strips author names from public submissions entirely. Feature Upvote supports anonymous posting and guest submissions as well, so the switch is clean on that axis.

  • Thirty seconds from signup to a live board. Pick a workspace name, share the link. No configuration sits between you and the first piece of feedback. If you are importing from Feature Upvote, add one more session for the CSV import and the mapping review.
