Docket vs FeatQ: $99 for every product, or $199 for one

How do Docket and FeatQ compare?

FeatQ's figures read from featq.com/pricing on 8 September 2026, at standard rather than launch rates. Seven tools here have closed or been sold since January 2025: the graveyard.

What three years costs

FeatQ sells the same product three ways, so here are two of them beside Docket. The lifetime seat is the one to weigh, because it is the closest thing FeatQ has to Docket's shape.

That is one board on FeatQ either way. Three products is $597 once, or $684 a year. Docket is still $99.

Both give your agent the queue

This is the part worth saying plainly, because it is the one thing the two products share and the reason FeatQ exists. FeatQ runs an MCP server per board, so Claude Code, Cursor and anything else that speaks MCP can pull the top request as a build-ready spec, and mark it shipped when it lands. That works, and it is well made.

Docket reaches the same end by a shorter route. Your requests are files in the copy you already hold, so the agent you use every day opens them the way it opens the rest of your code. There is no server between the two, nothing to authenticate, and nothing that stops working if a subscription lapses.

Neither approach is clever and the other stupid. The difference shows up at the edges: how many products it covers, what it costs in year three, and what you are left holding if the vendor moves on.

What Docket is

Docket arrives as your own copy, in your own GitHub account. It gives you a feedback board, a public roadmap, a changelog, an FAQ and a testimonials wall, on your own domain, for as many products as you ship. Everything a customer sends you is kept in your own copy, so there is no database behind it and nothing that can be billed by the row.

The part that is different is the agentic side: scheduled jobs draft the first reply in your voice, write the changelog from what you shipped, and tell everybody who voted for something when it lands. You approve; it sends.

What FeatQ is

FeatQ is a hosted feature-voting board built around coding agents rather than around a product team. Users vote with an email address instead of an account, your agent pulls the top request over MCP, and marking it done publishes the changelog and emails everyone who voted for it.

Every plan carries the whole product: the public board, voting, the roadmap, the changelog, the embeddable widget and MCP access. The plans differ only in how you pay, which is a cleaner idea than most of this category manages. There is no free tier, and every plan carries a 14-day refund instead.

Where Docket wins

• Every product you ship, on every tier. FeatQ is priced per board at every price it offers. A second product doubles it; a third trebles it.
• Half the price, and it stays that way. $99 against $199 for the lifetime seat, and against $684 over three years on the yearly plan.
• A free tier that exists. FeatQ has none, only a refund window. Docket's free edition never expires and has no card behind it.
• The offer does not close. FeatQ's lifetime deal ends at fifty seats and its launch rate at twenty five. $99 is what Docket costs.
• You hold it. Your board, roadmap and changelog are on your own hosting, so a vendor decision cannot reach them.

Best for: One person or a small team shipping software who wants the board, roadmap, changelog and FAQ on their own domain, paid for once at $99, for every product.

Not for: Anyone who wants a vendor to run it for them. There is no hosted version, you set it up in your own GitHub account, and it is newer and smaller than Canny or Productboard.

Where FeatQ is the better buy

• They host it. No deployment, no domain to point, nothing on your side to keep alive. That is worth real money to some people and FeatQ does it properly.
• MCP with any client. If your agent already speaks MCP and you would rather add a server than hold the files, this is built for exactly that.
• One price for the whole product. No tier withholds a feature. Monthly, yearly and lifetime all carry the same thing, which is rare here.
• Voting without accounts. An email address is the whole barrier, which is the right call and matches what Docket does.

Best for: One product, hosted by somebody else, with an MCP server the agent connects to.

Not for: A studio shipping several products, or anyone who wants a free tier that does not run out.

Is there a free version of FeatQ?

No. FeatQ sells monthly, yearly and lifetime, and every one of them carries a 14-day money-back guarantee instead of a free tier. You pay first and ask for it back if it does not suit.

Docket's free edition never expires: one board on your own domain, with unlimited users and posts, no card, and no automation.

So which should you pick?

Pick Docket if you ship more than one thing, or expect to. FeatQ prices every plan per board, so the second product doubles the bill whichever way you pay, and Docket does not move because $99 was the whole price. It is also the cheaper of the two on day one, and the only one of the two with a free tier you can stay on.

Pick FeatQ if you ship exactly one product, want somebody else to host it, and would rather connect your agent to an MCP server than hold the files yourself. It is a well-built board and the agent story is real. If you would rather own the thing outright, Docket does the same job for $99 once, for everything you ship.
