Every figure read on 23 August 2026 from that vendor's own pricing page, at the cheapest published billing: frill.co/pricing, userjot.com, nolt.io/pricing and canny.io/pricing, with Fider read from its repository. Featurebase itself is $29 per seat per month billed yearly, plus $0.49 per AI resolution, plus $69 a month if you want their badge removed.
Going through the options
UserJot, $29 a month
Priced per workspace with unlimited end users, so the second person on your team is free where Featurebase charges another $348 a year for them. AI duplicate detection as the customer types, AI changelog drafting when a post completes, and a two-minute Canny importer. Five boards at this tier, unlimited at $59.
Canny, $79 a month billed yearly
No seat charge either: manager seats are capped rather than billed, and contributors are unlimited. Unlimited boards on every plan including free. Priced by tracked user instead, which grows with the board's success rather than with your headcount. Autopilot AI mines your support conversations for feedback.
Nolt, $29 a month billed yearly
Flat rate, unlimited users, unlimited admins, and 22 interface languages. Nothing per seat and nothing per person. The catch is the board count: one at the entry tier, five at $69 a month, and no free plan.
Frill, $22 a month billed yearly
Also flat per workspace with unlimited teammates. Surveys embedded in your product and announcements with scheduling and segmentation, which is the part of Featurebase's suite it comes closest to matching. Fifty active ideas at the entry tier, and privacy as a paid add-on until $136 a month.
Fider, free
AGPL-3.0 and actively maintained. No seats, no tiers, no add-ons, because there is nothing to buy. Docker, PostgreSQL and your own mail sender, so about $6 to $12 a month for a small VPS. No changelog feature, and the security patching is yours: three releases in three months to July 2026 fixed a critical auth flaw, then SSRF and XSS.
Docket, $99 once
Ours. No seats, because there is nothing to log in to. The badge lifts at $99 rather than at $828 a year. Unlimited products on every tier including free, on your own domain. Feedback arrives as Markdown in your own repository and scheduled jobs draft the replies and write the changelog. You run it, and it assumes a coding agent.

Which Featurebase alternative should you choose?
Three questions, and they settle almost every case.
- How many people need full access? This is the whole question with Featurebase. One person is $348 a year, three is $1,044. Every other tool on this page charges the same for one person as for ten.
- Do you actually want the suite? A helpdesk, a help centre and surveys from one vendor is genuinely cheaper than three vendors. If you are buying all of it, Featurebase is not expensive, it is bundled.
- Does the badge matter to you? If it does, price it in. $69 a month is $828 a year, on top of a plan you have to move up to first.
