What UserJot is opinionated about
Four things that shape every decision.
JPD and UserJot are shaped by different beliefs about who a discovery tool is for. Ours come down to four, and together they make the loop feel unmistakably lighter to run.
See how we think about pricingUsers belong in the loop
Feedback work happens with users, not about them. A tool that keeps them outside the system is solving half the problem.
Standalone by design
A discovery tool should not require a delivery stack around it to work. UserJot stands on its own, connects to what you already use, and does not ask anyone to move their engineering org.
Pricing should not cap participation
Per-creator pricing counts your team. Flat pricing counts nothing, and that is the point. Invite sales, support, and engineering without reading the invoice first.
Shipping is half the loop
Feedback, roadmap, and changelog share state. Shipping a feature moves the right pieces automatically. Planning by itself is not a feedback tool.
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.
Collection
Feedback that reaches you without being copied.
The JPD pattern is this: collect feedback elsewhere, read it, then copy the shape of it into an idea. UserJot removes the middle step. Users submit directly, through the board, the widget, or a link.
Public boards your users can use
Polished, mobile-first, with voting, comments, and discussion. No Atlassian login between your users and a submission.
Embeddable widget
One script tag. Feedback captured in context, in your product, in the moment the user is thinking it.
Guest posting, no account
Remove the sign-up wall entirely. Conversion on sensitive or low-effort feedback jumps the moment you do.
Triaged on arrival
AI deduplicates, categorizes, and queues every submission. Triage flows like inbox zero, not a backlog review.
How we think about pricing
We charge for the product, not for the people using it.
JPD counts creators. UserJot counts nothing. The difference sounds small. In practice it changes who ends up in the loop with you.
A discovery tool should make it easy for more people to participate 01. Stakeholders, support, designers, a new hire in their first week. They are the system working. We never want the invoice to ask who really needs access this quarter.
So UserJot scales on the shape of the product you pick (custom domains, integrations, boards, SSO) 02, not on seat counts. A team of three with fifteen stakeholders pays the same as a team of three with a hundred.
What changes when pricing works this way is subtle. Editor access goes to sales, support, and engineering without a second thought. Roadmap conversations happen where the work lives, not in a read-only export 03. The loop gets wider on its own. That width is the actual product.
By the numbers
Three numbers worth knowing.
Where the free plans land, what a fifteen-person team pays, and how long it takes to get a live board.

Closing the loop
The last mile of feedback, automated.
Shipping is where JPD's job ends. It is where UserJot's work is most useful. The blank page stays closed, and the right people hear first.
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.
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
Getting off JPD, in about the time of one standup.
Migration from JPD is different from a feedback-tool import. Your backlog lives inside a Jira project, which means exporting rather than syncing. Everything downstream (boards, statuses, users, comments) is what we do best.
Export your JPD ideas
From your JPD project, export the ideas list to CSV with the custom fields you care about. Atlassian supports this out of the box.
Paste the CSV into UserJot
Our importer reads columns, AI proposes the board, status, and tag mapping, and you confirm it in one pass. Duplicates surface before they land.
Invite your team and share the link
Unlimited creators and viewers from day one. Replace your internal JPD links with the new home and turn on the public board when you are ready.
If your JPD setup uses deep custom fields or linked Jira issues that matter to your backlog, reach out before you start. We will walk 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, what happens to Jira integration, whether the two tools can run side by side, and how the shape of the products differs. Answered plainly.
JPD is built for product teams to capture ideas, score them, and connect them to Jira delivery. The whole system is internal. UserJot is built for the loop between you and your users: public boards where users submit and vote, a roadmap they can see, and a changelog they get notified about when you ship. Both products solve real problems. They solve different halves of the loop.
JPD Standard is $10 per creator per month. Premium is $25. A five-person product team pays $50 to $125 per month on JPD. A ten-person team pays $100 to $250. A fifteen-person team pays $150 to $375. UserJot is flat: $29 for Starter, $59 for Professional, with unlimited creators and users on every plan. The gap widens with the team, and it widens fastest on the tier that adds cross-team roadmaps.
Partly, and honestly. JPD's deepest value is that ideas link to Jira issues and roadmaps sync with sprints. UserJot does not replicate that, and we do not try to. What UserJot offers instead is a proper integration from the other side: Linear, webhooks, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents. If your engineers live in Jira, you can pipe accepted feedback into Jira issues with automation or our API. The tradeoff is real: you gain a public feedback side and lose some of the native discovery-to-delivery depth.
Yes. Many teams do. UserJot handles the public side (user submissions, voting, the changelog). JPD handles internal prioritization and delivery linkage. Ideas flow from UserJot into JPD through integrations or manual promotion when they pass your internal bar. This is a legitimate setup, especially for larger product orgs that are not leaving Jira.
Yes. Users can post on your public board without an account when guest posting is enabled. You can embed a widget in your app that captures feedback in context. You can send users to a submission flow with a single link parameter. Every submission lands in the triage queue with AI duplicate detection and auto-categorization. JPD has no public submission path, so feedback has to be entered by your team.
Three specific things. First, every user who submits or votes on something gets an email when it ships. Second, the status of every piece of feedback is visible to the person who submitted it. Third, the changelog is drafted automatically from the original feedback and the conversation around it, in your voice, with voters notified on publish. JPD does none of these. Its job ends at planning.
Yes, though it is a different path from a feedback-tool import. Export your JPD ideas to CSV (Atlassian supports this out of the box), paste the file into our CSV importer, and we help map fields, resolve duplicates, and seed your boards. For JPD setups with deep custom fields or linked Jira issues that matter to your backlog, reach out before you start. We will run the migration with you.
Partially. UserJot has vote counts, AI-driven categorization, and a lifecycle-aware triage system with soft guardrails (twenty planned items and five in-progress items trigger a nudge). We do not have RICE scoring, impact-effort matrices, or custom scoring formulas. If those frameworks are how your team prioritizes, UserJot is lighter than what you are used to. Some teams find that a feature; some find it a gap. Worth knowing up front.
Professional ($59 per month) includes SAML SSO. Automatic Login (a JWT-based SSO-lite flow) is available on Starter and Professional for in-app identification. UserJot supports custom domains with full white-labeling on paid plans, role-based access, and data export at any time. For enterprise requirements that are not on the public pricing page, reach out.
On UserJot, you pick a workspace name and share the link. Thirty seconds to a live board. On JPD, setup assumes a Jira Cloud site with projects, user roles, and custom fields configured. For teams already living in Jira, that work is already done and JPD feels instant. For teams starting fresh, the difference is real.
