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 a full loop where simpler tools stop at the board.

See how we think about the loop
  • 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.

  • 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 surfaces.

  • Active, not finished

    New integrations, AI where it saves real work, design passes every week. The version you pick today is not the version you live with forever.

  • Free to start, generous forever

    Unlimited users, a public roadmap, and a public changelog on the free tier. No trial clock, no feature cliff for the essentials.

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.

Beyond the board

Four things that live past the feedback board.

Collecting feedback and drawing a roadmap is the easy half of the job. The harder half is what happens after the vote is cast. These four are where UserJot keeps working while simpler tools stop.

  • AI-drafted changelog

    Move a Post to Completed and UserJot writes the announcement from the original request. In your voice, ready to review.

  • Triage action bar

    Context-aware actions at the bottom of every item. Close, Merge, Accept, Skip on new submissions. Draft Changelog on shipped ones. No generic status dropdown.

  • Built-in notifications

    Every voter and commenter hears when their feature ships. Weekly digests re-engage quieter users. All automatic, none set up by hand.

  • AI duplicate detection

    As users type, UserJot surfaces existing Posts that match. Feedback consolidates on its own. You never review the same idea twice.

How we think about the loop

A feedback tool earns its keep when the loop closes.

Collection is the easy half. The hard half is what happens after the vote is cast.

A feedback tool earns its keep at the far side of the loop . Users submit, votes stack up, a roadmap takes shape. That is the easy part. The harder part is the moment a shipped feature is supposed to reach the person who asked for it.

UserJot holds feedback, roadmap, and changelog on the same data . When a Post moves to Completed, the original requesters are notified, the changelog post drafts itself from the discussion, and the list of everyone who cared is built for you. The loop closes on its own.

What changes when the loop works this way is quiet but real . Teams ship more often, because nothing has to be announced by hand. Users return, because they hear when they were right. The product begins to feel like it listens, which is the whole job.

By the numbers

Three numbers worth knowing.

What UserJot costs on day one, how much more you get at the same paid tier, and how long it takes to migrate a Nolt board.

  • $0

    Free forever, unlimited users

    Two boards, public roadmap, public changelog, every user you want. Nolt has no free plan, only a 10-day trial.

  • 5 boards

    At $29 per month, on UserJot Starter

    Nolt Essential gives you one board at the same price. UserJot includes five, plus integrations, guest posting, a custom domain, and AI features.

  • 2 min

    Nolt import, end to end

    Paste your Nolt board URL and API token, confirm the status mapping, and publish. Most teams migrate between meetings.

Side by side

UserJot vs Nolt, feature by feature.

A feature-by-feature read of where the two products diverge. Pricing is the most legible difference, but scope and pace end up mattering 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

A few minutes to import your Nolt data.

Every comparison page promises easy migration. Ours is genuinely short because we built a proper Nolt importer, API-backed, not an export workflow. Posts, votes, comments, and statuses come across intact.

  1. Copy your Nolt board URL and API token

    Nolt dashboard, then API settings. Both are short to find and one click to copy.

  2. Paste them into UserJot

    Our importer pulls posts, votes, comments, and statuses. Pick the UserJot board that will receive them and confirm the status mapping in a single pass.

  3. Point your links at the new home

    Update your feedback link, add redirects from your Nolt subdomain if you had one, and you are live. Most teams switch over a weekend with no downtime.

If your Nolt setup uses custom workflows or has unusual data, reach out. We will run the migration with you and make sure nothing is lost in the move.

Pricing

Pricing that does not punish adoption.

Questions

The ones that come up before teams switch.

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

  • Two differences. First, scope: Nolt is a feedback board with a basic roadmap. UserJot is feedback, roadmap, and changelog on one data model, so shipping a feature notifies the voters automatically and the changelog drafts itself from the original request. Second, pace: UserJot ships every week. Nolt is a stable tool from a two-person team, and the feature set has not expanded meaningfully in years. Both are reasonable. They just fit different kinds of teams.

  • No. Nolt offers a 10-day trial, after which a paid plan is required. Essential starts at $29 per month on annual billing ($39 monthly) for a single board. Pro is $69 per month annual ($89 monthly) for five boards. UserJot has a free forever plan with two boards, unlimited users, a public roadmap, and a public changelog. For most indie and early-stage teams, the free tier is enough indefinitely.

  • No, not built in. Changelog has been one of the most requested features on Nolt's own feedback board for years, and it has not shipped. UserJot includes a full changelog on every plan, wired into the same system as feedback and roadmap. When you move a Post to Completed, UserJot drafts the announcement from the original request and the discussion around it, in your voice, ready to review. Publishing notifies every voter and commenter automatically.

  • No. Nolt does not include AI duplicate detection, automatic categorization, or AI-drafted changelogs. Every triage decision and every announcement is written by hand. UserJot uses AI where it saves real work: surfacing duplicates as users submit so feedback consolidates on its own, categorizing incoming Posts, and drafting changelog announcements from the original discussion.

  • At the $29 price point, Nolt Essential gives you one board on annual billing. UserJot Starter gives you five, plus integrations, guest posting, a custom domain, and AI features. At the next tier, UserJot Professional ($59 per month) is cheaper than Nolt Pro ($69 per month), and it includes unlimited boards and SAML SSO. Nolt places SSO on its Enterprise plan with custom pricing. UserJot also has a free tier, which Nolt does not offer at all.

  • Nolt is maintained by a small team and the product has been stable for several years. The core feedback board works reliably, customer reviews remain positive, and the interface has not changed meaningfully since the early days. If you want a quiet, predictable tool that does not ask you to adopt new features each quarter, that stability is a real advantage. If you want a tool that keeps pace with how modern product teams work, especially around AI and changelog, UserJot ships more often.

  • Yes. UserJot has a direct Nolt importer built in. Paste your Nolt board URL and API token, pick the UserJot board that will receive the posts, and confirm the status mapping. The importer pulls posts, votes, comments, and statuses. Most migrations finish in minutes. For anything unusual, reach out and we will run it with you.

  • UserJot ships a native JavaScript SDK. A single script tag, in-app identification via `uj.identify`, and full control over placement and behavior. It works reliably across Safari, Firefox, and mobile. Nolt uses iframe-based embedding, which has known third-party cookie issues in Safari and Firefox and is not officially supported in mobile apps. On a modern site or product, the difference shows up quickly.

  • Yes. UserJot Professional ($59 per month) includes SAML SSO. An Automatic Login flow (JWT-based SSO-lite) is available on Starter and Professional for in-app identification. Nolt reserves SSO for its Enterprise plan with custom pricing, which typically lands well above the Professional tier.

  • Slack, Linear, Discord, webhooks, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents. The MCP server is uncommon in the category. Claude, Cursor, or any other agent can triage feedback, update the roadmap, and draft changelogs on your behalf. One integration is included on Starter. Professional includes all of them. Nolt places its integrations on the Pro plan at $69 per month.

  • Thirty seconds from signup to a live board. Pick a workspace name, share the link, and the first piece of feedback can arrive. If you are importing from Nolt, add another few minutes.
