What UserJot is opinionated about
Four things that shape every decision.
A product management tool reflects the team that builds it. These four commitments are what make UserJot feel different from the modular PM category, and they run through every surface of the product.
See how we think about pricingOne product, not three modules
Feedback, roadmap, and changelog share one data model. No module activation, no separate invoices, no stitching the loop back together on every renewal.
Priced by features, not by editors
Flat monthly pricing with unlimited editors and unlimited contributors. A ten-person team pays what a two-person team pays.
The loop actually ships
Most PM tools stop at the roadmap. UserJot carries through to the announcement. Shipping a feature writes its changelog and notifies the people who asked for it.
Fast by default
Thirty seconds from signup to a live board. The surfaces are built for daily work, and the concepts explain themselves as you use them.
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.
Triage
A triage flow built to get you to inbox zero.
Most PM tools give you a status dropdown and a list of screens to click through. UserJot gives you a context-aware action bar that shows only the moves that fit the current stage. Triage becomes something you finish, not something you dread.
Actions that fit the moment
Every item shows only the moves that apply at its stage. No generic status dropdown to interpret, no guessing what the right next step is.
Guardrails built in
Soft limits nudge you toward a focused roadmap and work-in-progress you can actually finish.
Stale and ghost detection
Old items resurface on their own. You keep them, refresh them, or close them.
Auto-advance, like an inbox
After any action, the next item loads. Triage takes minutes, not afternoons.
How we think about pricing
One product, one price. Not three modules, three invoices.
Modular pricing sounds flexible. In practice, it turns the loop into a procurement exercise.
A feedback loop is one motion: users say something, teams decide, features ship, voters hear back 01. It does not come apart into Roadmaps here, Ideas there, Feedback somewhere else. Splitting it into priced modules forces the team to reassemble it on every invoice.
UserJot is one product because the loop is one thing 02. Feedback flows into the roadmap, the roadmap flows into the changelog, and the changelog closes the circle back to the voters. You pay for the loop, not for the pieces inside it.
What changes when pricing works this way is subtle. Teams stop pricing every decision. Adding a fourth stakeholder is free. Turning on a second board is free 03. The tool fades into the work, which is what a tool should do.
By the numbers
Three numbers worth knowing.
What UserJot costs on day one, what ProdPad costs for the same three functions, and how fast you can be running.
$0

Closing the loop
The last mile of feedback, written for you.
Shipping is where most PM tools end. 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.
A pulse in the widget, not just email
Returning users see a new-update indicator in the in-app widget. Announcements land in the product, not only in the inbox.
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
From ProdPad export to a live UserJot board.
ProdPad lets you export your feedback and ideas as a CSV. UserJot reads it with AI-assisted mapping, so most of the work is one confirm. Most teams are running in about two minutes.
Export your data from ProdPad
ProdPad's built-in export gives you a CSV of your ideas, feedback, and comments. Runs in a couple of minutes, no engineering required.
Upload the CSV to UserJot
Our importer reads the columns and proposes the mapping (boards, statuses, authors). AI handles most of it. You confirm edge cases in a single pass.
Invite the team, point your links at the new home
Everyone signs in, the widget goes up, and your old roadmap URL gets a redirect. Most teams switch over a weekend with no downtime.
If your ProdPad setup has custom fields or unusual structure, reach out. We will run the migration with you and make sure nothing is lost in the move.

Questions
The ones that come up before teams switch.
Pricing math, module structure, the missing changelog, Now-Next-Later, migration, and how the two products differ in shape. Answered plainly.
Two differences. First, scope: UserJot is one product (feedback, roadmap, and changelog on a single shared model), where ProdPad sells the loop as three separately priced modules and does not ship a changelog at all. Second, pricing: UserJot is flat with unlimited editors and unlimited contributors. ProdPad is per editor, per module, so cost scales with both your team size and how much of the loop you want. Both products are reasonable. They optimize for different shapes of team.
ProdPad Essentials modules run $44 per editor per month for Roadmaps, $36 for Ideas, and $36 for Feedback. A single editor using all three is $116 per month. Five editors with all three is $580 per month. Ten editors is $1,160 per month. UserJot stays flat: Starter is $29 per month, Professional is $59 per month, both with unlimited editors and unlimited contributors. The point is not only that we are cheaper at scale, though we are. It is that pricing should scale on what the product does, not on how many people touch it.
Yes, and it is part of the same system as feedback and roadmap. When you move a Post to Completed, UserJot drafts the announcement from the original request and the conversation around it, in your voice, ready to review. Publishing notifies every voter and commenter automatically, and pulses a new-update indicator in the in-app widget. ProdPad has never shipped a built-in changelog, so teams typically bolt on a second tool or maintain release notes manually.
ProdPad splits the loop into three Essentials modules: Roadmaps ($44 per editor per month), Ideas ($36 per editor per month), and Feedback ($36 per editor per month). Advanced tiers run higher. UserJot folds all three functions into one product, because the underlying data model is shared. You pay for the product, not for the pieces of it.
Yes, and credit where it is due: ProdPad pioneered the Now-Next-Later format and it is the right default for most teams. UserJot uses a status-based roadmap (Planned, In Progress, Completed) that maps cleanly onto Now-Next-Later if you want it to. Posts move between statuses as work advances, and the public roadmap updates itself without anyone having to rearrange cards.
Yes. Export your ideas, feedback, and comments from ProdPad as a CSV, upload it to UserJot, and our importer proposes the board and status mapping with AI. You confirm it in a single pass. Most migrations finish in about two minutes. For anything unusual (custom fields, irregular structure), reach out and we will run the import with you.
Depends on which ones. Slack, Linear, Discord, webhooks, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents are included. ProdPad has a broader PM-tool roster (Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Salesforce, Zendesk, Confluence), which is a real advantage if your team lives in those tools. If Jira is load-bearing for your workflow, ProdPad's integration is deeper than ours today. For Linear-based teams or API-first setups, UserJot is the cleaner fit.
Most small to medium product teams do not. ProdPad is a full product management platform with OKRs, portfolio management, idea prioritization frameworks, and twelve years of PM-specific depth layered in. It fits organizations where product management is a discipline with dedicated staff. UserJot focuses on the loop from feedback to shipped changelog, and trades depth for clarity. If your team runs one product (or a few related ones) and wants the loop to feel light, we are the better fit.
Yes, and ProdPad deserves credit here: they pioneered the unlimited-reviewer model in the category. UserJot goes a step further by removing the editor distinction entirely. Unlimited users on every plan, no split between editors and reviewers, no seat counting. A ten-person team pays the same flat rate as a two-person team. Inviting more people into the loop is always free.
Both products ship AI. ProdPad's CoPilot is broader and more mature as an assistant across general PM work (writing, summarizing, synthesizing). UserJot's AI is focused on the loop: duplicate detection as users type, auto-categorization on submission, and AI-drafted changelog announcements written from the original feedback. Less surface area, tuned to the specific motions of feedback to roadmap to changelog.
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. ProdPad places SSO on the Advanced tier, which applies per editor per module, so SSO across a full product team covering all three modules lands substantially higher.
Thirty seconds from signup to a live board. Pick a workspace name, share the link. No configuration sits between you and the first piece of feedback. ProdPad setup typically takes longer because there are more modules to activate and more concepts to learn, which is consistent with the broader scope of the product.
