Where Fider falls short.
Fider is an open-source voting board you can run on your own server, and it has stayed simple on purpose since 2016. It also has a free plan with a 250-post limit and no place in Google, a board with little around it, voters who don't hear when it ships, and no AI, no chat, and no connectors.
The hosted Free plan is small and hidden
250 feedback items under fair use; search indexing and moderation are Pro
Fider Cloud's Free plan takes 250 feedback items under a fair-use policy, and Fider doesn't document what happens at 251. A Free board's pages also carry a header telling Google not to index them. Indexing is unlocked on Pro, at $25 a month per board, and so is moderation. A customer searching for the feature they want finds a Free board's posts nowhere.
It's a board, and not much more
Roadmap on Pro since June 2026; no changelog; no widget
Fider's public roadmap shipped on June 24, 2026, on Pro only, with planned, started, and completed columns. There is no changelog; Fider's blog suggests the list of completed posts as a stand-in. There is no widget: the request on Fider's own board is still open, and since the September 2026 release a board placed in an iframe shows visitors signed out. Internal notes have been requested since 2017, with 88 votes today, and were marked planned in June 2026. Custom statuses have been open since 2018, with 43.
A vote doesn't subscribe anyone
Status emails go to subscribers; voting doesn't subscribe
Everyone who posts or votes on a Fider board signs in first, with an email code, Google, GitHub, or Facebook. There is no guest posting, and anonymous posting is an open request. When you mark a post completed, Fider emails the people subscribed to it. The author is subscribed automatically and voters are not. The forty people who voted for a feature find out it shipped only if each of them also clicked follow, and the request to subscribe voters automatically is open on Fider's board.
It stops at the board
No AI by design; no live chat listed; no MCP server documented
Fider has no AI features and says so on its blog. Duplicates are found by keyword match and merged by hand. Fider lists no live chat and documents no MCP server, and its integrations are outgoing webhooks you configure yourself, with Slack, Teams, Discord, and Zapier as the targets its docs name. Support is an email address with no dedicated team and a published response time of up to 48 hours.
What UserJot does instead.
UserJot keeps what Fider does: a public board where people post and vote, on your own domain from Starter. It adds a roadmap on every plan, a changelog, a widget that puts all three inside your app, live chat and support email in one inbox, Juno, an AI operator who answers customers first and drafts your changelog, and an MCP server for your own agents.
It is hosted, so there is no server, database, or mail setup to run. Every plan has unlimited users and unlimited posts, including Free. Paid plans start at $29 a month with a 14-day trial, and you're live in minutes.

Everyone who voted hears back.
Anyone can post and vote on the board, and on Starter and up, they can do it without creating an account. When you mark a request Planned or In Progress, it moves to that column on the public roadmap, votes attached, on every plan including Free.
Every status change emails everyone who posted, voted, or commented. Nobody has to click follow. When you mark a request Completed, everyone who voted gets the email, and the changelog post you write links back to the request. The changelog has its own page on your board and its own tab in the widget.

Export reports to CSV
Finance needs the monthly numbers in a spreadsheet. A one-click export from any report would save us an afternoon every month.

Zapier integration
We’d love to send new tasks to the rest of our tools without writing a script. A trigger for new tasks would cover most of it.

We track budget and client on every task. A couple of custom fields would replace the spreadsheet we keep next to Acme.

The whole board, inside your app too.
Your board lives at its own URL, where anyone can browse, post, and vote. The widget brings the same board into your app: Home, Feedback, Roadmap, Updates, Notifications, and, with Conversations on, Messages, in one panel. Identify a user once and their posts, votes, and messages in the widget are attributed to them; on Starter and up, automatic login carries that identity onto the board.
Messages is live chat. Customers write to you from inside your product, and your team answers from the dashboard where it already triages requests. Forward your support address and email lands in the same inbox, with no DNS changes. When a customer describes a feature in chat, Juno finds the matching request on your board and shows it to them. Once they confirm, she files it or adds their vote. Conversations is in beta and free on every plan while it is.
One AI, across the whole product.
Juno is the AI operator built into UserJot. In the inbox, she answers new conversations first, in the customer's language, from your docs and the sites you point her at, and hands the thread to your team when a person is needed. The inbox translates incoming messages into your language, and you can translate your reply before it goes out.
In the changelog editor, Juno reads the requests you completed since the last post and writes the draft, with the title, tags, and linked requests filled in. She never publishes. The board itself checks for duplicates as people type, and five versions of the same request don't pile up.

We were charged twice this month, can you help?

Sorry about that! Refunds need a teammate, so I'm bringing one in now.

Hi, Sara here. Just refunded the duplicate charge, you'll see it back in a few business days.

An MCP server your agents can use today.
Your agent can read requests, file and vote on them, move them along the roadmap, draft changelog posts, and answer conversations. Ask your coding agent what customers have asked for in the area you're working on, or have it mark the request shipped and draft the changelog entry when the work merges.
It comes with the API on Starter and Professional. Fider has a REST API and webhooks and documents no MCP server.

Hosted, and yours to leave.
UserJot is hosted in the United States, and there is no self-hosted edition. If your feedback has to stay on your own servers, Fider is the right answer. For everyone else: pay monthly or yearly, cancel from your settings, and export your posts as CSV any time, on every plan.

Switching from Fider to UserJot.
Fider's admin export gives you a CSV of posts with status, author, and vote count. UserJot's CSV import maps it with AI, and you check the mapping before anything is written.
If the CSV doesn't carry what you need, email support@userjot.com with the ZIP backup and we'll migrate it with you.
Export from Fider.
In Administration, open Export and download the CSV. It has each post's title, body, status, author name, tags, and vote and comment counts. Download the full backup too; it's a ZIP of JSON with every vote, comment, and user, and it's the copy to keep.Import into UserJot.
Upload the CSV. AI maps titles, descriptions, statuses, authors, and dates to UserJot's fields; check the mapping, confirm, done. Individual voters aren't in Fider's CSV, so votes come across as counts.Put the board where customers already are.
Add the widget to your app, and on Starter or above, put the board on your own domain, like feedback.yourcompany.com.Then shut Fider down.
On Fider Cloud, cancel from your account's billing settings; there's no notice period, and the board drops back to Free. Delete the board from Administration if you want it gone. Self-hosted, stop the container once you've checked the import against it.
Fider alternative FAQ
Free to self-host, and free on Fider Cloud up to 250 feedback items under a fair-use policy. Fider Cloud Pro is $25 a month per board and removes the item limit, adds moderation, lets search engines index the board, and includes the public roadmap. Annual billing exists but no annual price is published. In January 2026 Fider Cloud was still $30 a month with a 15-day trial; by early February the pricing page showed Free and Pro, and from then through at least July it said both $25 and $49 for Pro. By October it said $25 in both places.
