6 Nolt alternatives, when one board is not enough

Nolt is simple, flat-priced and good. Its entry tier covers exactly one product, and that is what sends most people looking.

Every figure read on 23 August 2026 from that vendor's own pricing page, at the cheapest published billing: frill.co/pricing, userjot.com, featurebase.app/pricing and canny.io/pricing, with Fider read from its repository. Nolt itself is $39 a month billed monthly or $29 billed yearly for one board, and $89 or $69 for five, read in a browser because that page answers a plain fetch with a bot-block.

Going through the options

UserJot, $29 a month

The obvious swap. The same money buys five boards instead of one, priced per workspace with unlimited end users, and a free tier with two boards exists so you can try it properly. AI duplicate detection and AI changelog drafting on top.

Canny, $79 a month billed yearly

Unlimited boards on every plan, including the free one, which is as far from Nolt's single board as this category goes. Priced by tracked user instead, so it starts higher and grows with use. Their free plan gives you unlimited boards and private boards inside a 25 tracked user cap.

Featurebase, $29 per seat a month

Five boards at the entry tier and a free plan with one. Much broader than Nolt: a helpdesk, help centre and surveys as well. Watch two things, that it is priced per seat rather than flat, and that removing the branding is a $69 a month add-on.

Frill, $22 a month billed yearly

Cheaper than Nolt and with surveys built in, which Nolt has no equivalent of. No published board count anywhere on their pricing page, so if multiple boards is your reason for leaving, ask them before you switch. Fifty active ideas at the entry tier.

Fider, free

AGPL-3.0, actively maintained, and unlimited in every direction because there is no vendor to meter you. Docker, PostgreSQL, your own mail sender, roughly $6 to $12 a month of hosting. No changelog feature at all, and you own the security patching: three releases in three months to July 2026, one fixing a critical authentication flaw.

Docket, $99 once

Ours. Unlimited products on every tier including free, which is the direct answer to Nolt's single board. Your own domain, no seats, no meter, and a free edition that never expires where Nolt has only a ten-day trial. Feedback lands as Markdown in your own repository. You run it, and it assumes a coding agent.

Which Nolt alternative should you choose?

Three questions, and they settle almost every case.

Frequently asked questions

Does Nolt have a free plan?
No. New boards get a ten-day trial of the Pro plan with no card required, and after that you pay or you stop.
What is the cheapest Nolt alternative?
Fider, free if you run it yourself. Among hosted tools Frill at $22 a month billed yearly, then UserJot at $29 which also gives you five boards instead of one.
Can I export my Nolt data?
Yes. Asynchronous CSV export is free on every plan, and real-time export APIs in CSV and JSON come with Pro.
Can Nolt branding be removed?
We could not confirm it. There is no line on their pricing page and no help article covering it as of 23 August 2026.
