Top Frill alternatives

Frill's $25 plan grows by add-ons: branding removal, privacy, and surveys are each sold on their own. If you would rather have one price that includes the whole product, these are the alternatives to Frill worth a look.

  1. Public feedback board, roadmap, changelog, and live chat in one product, on your own domain and inside your app, with Juno, an AI operator who answers customers and drafts your changelog, and an MCP server for your own agents. Flat pricing, unlimited users, no add-ons.

    Best for: SaaS teams that want feedback and customer conversations in one modern tool, with a free plan to start on and nothing sold separately.

  2. Feedback board, roadmap, and changelog with a long integration list, priced by tracked users from $79 a month billed yearly.

    Best for: Teams that need Jira, Linear, or Salesforce on the board and have the budget for the meter.

  3. Nolt

    Voting, comments, a roadmap, and a changelog on flat plans, with little to configure.

    Best for: Teams that found Frill more product than they needed and want a clean board set up in an hour.

  4. A feedback board, roadmap, and changelog, plus NPS and CSAT surveys, all in one widget. Metered on announcement views, emails, and AI credits.

    Best for: Teams that want Frill's surveys and are fine with a meter instead of add-ons.

  5. Boards, a roadmap, and a changelog on flat monthly tiers. Less to configure than Frill and less to grow into.

    Best for: Small teams that have outgrown a spreadsheet and want something simple.

  6. Open source and self-hostable, with posting and voting but no roadmap or changelog. You run the server and the backups.

    Best for: Teams whose feedback data has to stay on their own servers.

Where Frill falls short.

Frill has sold feedback boards since 2020, with ideas, a roadmap, announcements, and in-app surveys, at flat prices with unlimited users and admins. It also has a price that starts at $25 and ends somewhere else, a trial where a free plan should be, a 50-idea ceiling on its cheapest plan, and no way to talk to the customer behind the vote.

The base price isn't the price

White Label: $100 a month; Privacy and Surveys sold separately

Frill's Startup plan is $25 a month, or $22 billed yearly. Branding removal, privacy, and surveys are sold separately. Removing “Powered by frill.co” is the White Label add-on at $100 a month, which puts Startup at $125. Growth, at $149, bundles it. Private boards, invite-only access, and holding ideas for approval are the Privacy add-on, and unlimited surveys are another. A G2 reviewer in May 2023 “was a bit confused” by the pricing.

What UserJot does instead.

UserJot keeps what Frill does well: a public board on your own domain, a roadmap with votes, a changelog, and a widget that puts all three inside your app, at a flat price with unlimited users. It adds 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 was designed as one product, so the board, the widget, the dashboard, and the emails share one look, and dark mode follows the reader's system.

Every plan has unlimited users and posts, including Free, and there are no add-ons. Paid plans start at $29 a month with a 14-day trial, and you're live in minutes.

The things Frill sells separately, in the plan.

Starter, at $29 a month, has private boards, moderation that holds new posts and comments for your approval, a custom domain, and guest posting, so people can post, vote, and comment without an account. Professional, at $59, removes “Powered by UserJot,” adds single sign-on, and can hide posters' names on the public board. None of it is an add-on.

Your board lives at its own URL, where anyone can browse, post, and vote. When you mark a request Planned or In Progress, it moves to that column on the public roadmap, votes attached. Every status change emails everyone who posted, voted, or commented, and the changelog post links back to the requests you closed.

Chat, email, and feedback in one inbox.

Conversations adds a Messages page to the widget that already shows your board, roadmap, and changelog. Customers chat with 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.

The UserJot inbox: a customer asks about a mobile app, and Juno finds the request on the board, adds the customer's vote, and resolves the conversation.

AI that talks to your customers, not just about them.

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.

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.

The UserJot widget open on the right side of a customer's web app.

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. Frill's MCP server has ten tools, all of them read-only.

Frill facts checked against its public site and help center on . Frill's pricing page stopped printing add-on prices in 2026; the $100 White Label figure is from its help center, and Privacy and Surveys have no published current price. If something has changed, tell us and we will correct it.

Switching from Frill to UserJot.

Frill exports ideas as CSV. UserJot's import maps the columns with AI, and you check the mapping before anything is written.

If your data doesn't fit the CSV path, email support@userjot.com and we'll migrate it with you.

  1. Export from Frill.

    Export your ideas as CSV. Votes, comments, and users come as separate files; keep them for your records. The import takes the ideas file, with a vote count column if the export has one.
  2. Import into UserJot.

    Upload the ideas CSV. AI maps titles, descriptions, votes, authors, statuses, and dates to UserJot's fields; check the mapping, confirm, done.

    Import from CSV →

  3. 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.

    Custom domain →

  4. Then cancel Frill.

    Its pricing FAQ says you can cancel or downgrade at any time with no lock-in. It doesn't publish the steps or what happens to the board afterward, so export first.
