Top Nolt alternatives

Nolt sells one board for $29 a month and lists no free plan. These are the alternatives to Nolt worth a look.

  1. Public feedback board, roadmap, changelog, and live chat in one product, on your own domain from $29 and inside your app, with Juno, an AI operator who answers customers and drafts your changelog, and an MCP server for your own agents. Free with two boards, $29 with five, and a built-in Nolt import.

    Best for: Teams that liked Nolt's simplicity and want a free plan, more boards, and a support inbox in the same tool.

  2. A feedback board with a free plan for 25 tracked users and a long integration list. Paid plans are priced by how many people have voted.

    Best for: Teams that need Jira, Linear, or Intercom on the board and have a budget that can grow with it.

  3. Boards, a roadmap, and a changelog on flat monthly tiers. The closest to Nolt in scope and price.

    Best for: Small teams that want a Nolt-shaped board from a different vendor.

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

    Best for: Teams that want surveys in the same widget as feedback.

  5. 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.

  6. A small, founder-run board, roadmap, and changelog at a low flat price.

    Best for: Bootstrapped teams that want a small vendor and a low flat price.

Where Nolt falls short.

Nolt has sold flat-priced feedback boards since 2018, with unlimited users and admins on every plan, a roadmap, a changelog, and a board in 22 languages. It also has a $29 plan that buys one board, no listed way to remove its attribution, and no way to talk to the customer behind the vote.

No free plan listed, and the price buys one board

Essential: one board. Pro: five boards at $69 a month billed yearly

Nolt lists no free plan. Essential is $29 a month billed yearly and includes one board. A second board means Pro, at $69. More than five boards is Enterprise, quoted by sales. The trial is ten days of Pro. A G2 reviewer in January 2023 called the standard price “a bit high” for early startups, and a Capterra reviewer in October 2022 wrote about the cost of a second board. The prices have not changed since at least February 2024.

What UserJot does instead.

UserJot keeps what Nolt 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. 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. The board, the widget, the dashboard, and the emails share one logo, accent color, and theme, and dark mode follows the reader's system.

Every plan has unlimited users, including Free, and Free has two boards. Paid plans start at $29 a month with five boards and a 14-day trial, and you're live in minutes.

Room for more than one board.

Free has two boards, Starter has five, and Professional has a hundred. On Starter, feature requests, bugs, and integrations each get their own board. Anyone can post and vote, 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. Every status change emails everyone who posted, voted, or commented. When you mark one Completed, everyone who voted gets an email, and the changelog post you write links back to it.

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 once a user is identified, 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, the same identity follows them 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.

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.

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 shows the match before they post.

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. Nolt has an MCP server too; the plan it starts on isn't published.

Nolt facts checked against its public site and help center on . Where a feature is documented but its plan isn't, the table says so. If something has changed, tell us and we will correct it.

Switching from Nolt to UserJot.

The import connects to your Nolt board and brings posts, comments, authors, and vote counts, with statuses mapped to yours. One board at a time, and it runs in the background.

If something doesn't come across, email support@userjot.com and we'll finish the migration with you.

  1. Get your board URL and API key from Nolt.

    Nolt's export API is on Pro. On Essential, export your board as CSV from Nolt's settings instead; UserJot imports that too.
  2. Import into UserJot.

    In Settings, open Data & Import and choose Import from Nolt. Paste the board URL and key, pick the UserJot board to receive the posts, match each Nolt status to a UserJot one, and confirm. Posts, comments, authors, and vote counts come across. For a CSV, AI maps the columns and you check them before anything is written.

    Import from Nolt →

  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 Nolt, before it renews.

    Cancellation is in the Upgrades section of the board dashboard. Access runs to the end of the paid period and Nolt doesn't refund it, so cancel after the import and before the next charge.
