Feature Upvote charges $49 a board a month in USD, billed monthly, for its Indie plan, or $99 a board a month in USD for Standard, with no free tier and only a 30-day trial. Anyone comparing alternatives is usually looking for pricing that does not multiply by board count, or a currency that does not shift depending on where the page loads.
Prices checked against each vendor's own pricing page: Feature Upvote and Upvoty on 22 August 2026, the rest on 20 August 2026.
Why look for a Feature Upvote alternative?
Feature Upvote's pricing page is geo-priced: it defaults to GBP for a UK visitor and carries a USD, EUR and GBP selector, so the same plan can show a different number depending on where the page loads. Worth knowing before comparing it against anything priced in a single fixed currency. On top of that, because the charge is per board rather than per seat or workspace, a team running two products pays for two boards, in full, every month, with no combined-workspace discount published.
What does Feature Upvote do better than the alternatives?
Two things, genuinely. SAML 2.0 SSO is included on Feature Upvote's standard paid plans, not held back for an enterprise tier the way most of this category gates it, which is unusual and worth conceding outright. And because the charge is per board, suggestions, comments, votes, contributors and admins are all unlimited within that board, so a large internal team on a single board never triggers the per-seat or per-tracked-user charge that Featurebase and Canny.io both apply. It also ships in 15 or more languages.
Sleekplan
$13 a month billed yearly for Starter, and a genuinely free-forever "Indie" tier with a single admin, something Feature Upvote has no equivalent of. Priced per workspace, not per board: Sleekplan's own FAQ states "each workspace is billed separately and can be on a different plan." Seats scale by tier, 0 on Indie, 3 on Starter, 10 on Business. CSAT and NPS are built in.
Who it is wrong for: a team that wants branding removed cheaply. That is not included on Starter and starts at Business, $38 a month billed yearly, well above Feature Upvote's own per-board price.
Upvoty
$15 a month billed monthly for Power, $49 a month billed monthly for Hyper. No free tier, 14-day trial. Unlimited boards and unlimited tracked users at every tier, the opposite of a per-board charge that grows with product count. No Upvoty branding is included even at $15, and it ships in 20 or more languages with its own MCP server.
Who it is wrong for: a team that wants more than one project on the two cheaper tiers, since Power and Super allow a single project each.
Nolt.io
$29 a month billed yearly, $39 a month billed monthly, no free tier, only a 10-day trial, and one board at entry, the same single-board ceiling Feature Upvote has, just at a flat rate rather than a per-board one. What it does better: 22 or more interface languages, two-way integrations with Jira, Linear, Asana, monday.com, Intercom, Slack, Discord and Teams, and at Enterprise a 99.9 per cent uptime SLA plus AI moderation.
Who it is wrong for: a team that specifically wants SAML SSO on an entry paid tier, which is not among Nolt.io's listed strengths.
UserJot
$29 a month, priced per workspace, with 2 boards free and 5 boards on the entry paid plan, a genuinely different model from Feature Upvote's per-board charge: a second board does not mean a second full-price plan. AI duplicate detection flags overlapping posts as a customer types, and UserJot's AI drafts the changelog entry from the original request when it ships, then emails every voter and commenter.
Who it is wrong for: a team that needs SAML SSO specifically, which is not among UserJot's listed features.
Canny.io
$79 a month billed yearly, $99 a month billed monthly, priced per tracked user rather than per board, with unlimited boards even on the free 25-tracked-user tier. Autopilot AI reads Intercom, Zendesk, Freshdesk, Gong and Zoom conversations and files feedback without anyone submitting it, HubSpot and Salesforce sync weights requests by account value, and it carries SOC 2, CCPA and GDPR.
Who it is wrong for: a small team without a support stack to sync, since tracked users accumulate permanently. For the full arithmetic on that growth, see what feedback tools actually cost.
One payment, no subscription, unlimited products.
Docket
Free forever for the core board, no card and no account. Pro is $99 once, Studio is $249 once, a $150 gap with no deadline to upgrade, and unlimited products on every tier. That is the direct answer to Feature Upvote's per-board model: a second or tenth product costs nothing extra, because nothing is metered by board.
Who it is wrong for: a team that specifically needs Feature Upvote's SAML SSO or unlimited-contributors-per-board model, or a team that wants a vendor to run and patch the product for them. On the raw numbers this is the highest single figure on the page, $99, but it is the only one that is not a recurring bill.

How should you actually decide?
Start with how many boards the team needs and how large the team working each one is. A single product with a large internal team on one board is the case Feature Upvote's own pricing fits well, since contributors are unlimited within a board and SAML SSO is included rather than gated. A team running more than one product should price every alternative here by board or workspace count first, because that is the number that multiplies.
If SAML SSO on an entry tier is the actual requirement, Feature Upvote earns its place on the shortlist. If the requirement is a genuine free tier, Sleekplan's Indie plan and Canny.io's 25-tracked-user tier both offer one where Feature Upvote does not. If the requirement is no recurring bill and no per-board multiplication, Docket is the only option priced once, with unlimited products on every tier, in exchange for setting it up rather than having someone else run it.

Frequently asked questions
Does Feature Upvote have a free plan?
No. Feature Upvote offers a 30-day trial rather than a free tier. After the trial, using it requires a paid plan starting at $49 a board a month in USD, billed monthly, for Indie.
What currency does Feature Upvote charge in?
Feature Upvote is geo-priced. It defaults to GBP for a UK visitor, showing 49 and 99 pounds a month, and carries a currency selector for USD, EUR and GBP, so the same plan can display a different number depending on where the page loads. This page quotes its prices in USD throughout for consistency.
Does Feature Upvote include single sign-on?
Yes. SAML 2.0 SSO is included on Feature Upvote's standard paid plans rather than reserved for an enterprise tier, which is genuinely unusual in this category and worth crediting to Feature Upvote directly.
Is there a Feature Upvote alternative with no per-board pricing?
Several. Upvoty and Canny.io both offer unlimited boards at every tier, priced per tracked user or per project rather than per board. Docket is priced once per licence tier with unlimited products included on every tier, so board count never changes the price at all.
Which Feature Upvote alternative has a genuine free tier?
Sleekplan's Indie plan is free forever with a single admin, Canny.io is free up to 25 tracked users with unlimited boards, and Docket's core board is free forever with no card or account, though Docket's paid-only features, such as automated responses or badge removal, are not included at that free tier.
