Removing the badge

Removing a vendor's badge from your own feedback board is not a fixed cost across this category. On one tool it is $828 a year, more than several rivals charge for everything. On another, the cheapest tier in the whole market, it is free. There is no rule here, only a vendor-by-vendor answer.

Checked between 20 and 22 August 2026, against each vendor's own pricing page.

How much does it actually cost to remove the badge?

Eight tools, four different answers: free at entry, free but only from a mid-tier, a priced add-on on top of an already-paid tier, or not confirmed at all.

Why does Featurebase charge more for the badge than for the tool?

Featurebase's entry paid tier is $29 a seat a month billed yearly, $348 a year for one person. Removing the badge is a separate line: $69 a month, purchasable only on Professional, at $59 a seat a month, or on Enterprise. Twelve months of that add-on is $828, before the seat fee it sits on top of. The full seat-by-seat breakdown is in Featurebase pricing.

Set that beside a whole year elsewhere. Frill.co's entire subscription, badge included from day one, is $264 a year. UserJot and Nolt.io both come to $348. Featurebase's badge removal alone runs $828, more than either tool charges for everything it does. Badge removal usually reads as cosmetic, the kind of setting a smaller vendor throws in because it costs nothing to flip. Pricing it at $828 a year makes it a deliberate revenue line, and it only unlocks once you are already paying for the mid-tier seat.

Which tools give it away for free, and at what tier?

It is easy to read one expensive example and assume the whole category behaves the same way. It does not.

Upvoty includes badge removal at its $15-a-month Power tier, billed monthly, the cheapest entry-level paid plan checked here. No add-on, no higher tier to unlock. It sits alongside unlimited tracked users at every tier, the opposite of the model that makes badge removal expensive elsewhere: nothing on Upvoty's plan scales against your success, so there is nothing to gate behind a premium. More of the category against it is in Upvoty alternatives.

Feature Upvote hides its "Powered by Feature Upvote" link on both standard paid plans, Indie at $49 a board a month and Standard at $99 a board a month, both billed monthly. One exception: a separate Bootstrapper plan, priced the same as Indie, deliberately keeps the link.

FeatureOS lists whitelabelling from its Starter tier, $60 a month, no separate purchase required, alongside custom domains and SMTP.

Three tools, three entry points, and in each one badge removal ships with the plan rather than sitting behind a charge. That is the honest counterweight to Featurebase's $828: the cheapest tool checked here is the one that gives it away for free.

Where does the answer sit in between?

Two tools land between "included" and "a priced add-on".

Frill.co ticks "remove tagline" on every tier, which reads like the badge is handled from day one. It is not the whole thing. Full white labelling, the setting that actually takes Frill.co's name off the product for a customer, is a separate add-on, included only from Growth upward, at $136 a month billed yearly. Anyone reading "remove tagline" as "my customers will never see the vendor's name" is reading a narrower feature than they think.

Canny.io puts full removal on its Business tier only, marked with a dollar icon rather than a tick, the same language it uses for every other paid add-on. Business is custom priced, so there is no figure to quote, only the fact that it sits behind a tier a smaller team is unlikely to reach.

Sleekplan does not include branding removal at Starter, its $13-a-month entry tier billed yearly. It starts at Business, $38 a month, bundled with CSAT and NPS surveys rather than sold alone.

Nolt.io's position on this could not be confirmed, and nothing here asserts one. If it matters to your decision, check Nolt.io's current pricing directly.

What should you actually check before you commit?

Three things, in order.

First, read the pricing page's own answer, not a summary of it. Featurebase's badge removal does not appear on the entry tier at all, it only shows up on Professional. Canny.io's dollar icon versus tick is easy to miss if you are scanning for a price rather than reading every row.

Second, separate "the badge is gone" from "the vendor's name is gone entirely". Frill.co's tagline tick and its white-labelling add-on are not the same feature, and the gap between them is $136 a month.

Third, price it over a year, not a month. A $69-a-month add-on sounds like a rounding error next to a seat fee. Multiplied by twelve it is $828, more than several flat-rate tools in the category charge for an entire subscription. For the full multi-year picture across every vendor, see what feedback tools actually cost.

This is not a category-wide problem. It is a Featurebase problem, and to a smaller extent a Frill.co and a Canny.io problem, sitting next to tools that hand the same setting over for free. Check the tier before you check the tick.
