The best Productboard alternative for feature voting?

✨ Features

Because Feature Upvote was built specifically for feature voting and prioritisation, it comes with specific features to make giving, collecting, and managing feedback frictionless.

Productboard, on the other hand, has features that will suit users looking to understand user feedback on a more granular level – at the cost of more complexity in the user experience.

Here’s how the two software compare in terms of features:

🕹️ Ease-of-Use

Productboard’s is clean and modern. But because it’s a complex solution with lots of options, its interface can be difficult to navigate. A learning curve is to be expected.

Productboard has various tabs for different tasks. The Insights tab serves as an inbox where user suggestions and comments, referred to as “notes”, come through. There, moderators can edit, respond to, and convert these notes into feature requests.

To see all feature requests, navigate to your feature boards. These are reserved for internal collaboration and allow all sorts of grouping and sorting—by owner, sprint, company, user impact score, and much more.

And finally, there is the Portal, which is essentially a public feedback board/roadmap. Any feature request assigned to the Portal can be seen and upvoted by customers.

Feature Upvote groups everything in one place. Its interface is intentionally stripped and easy to navigate. Moderators can triage and edit feedback from one simple dashboard without jumping back and forth between different tabs.

✍️ User experience

A major difference between Feature Upvote and Productboard is in how users experience and interact with the feedback board.

Take the voting experience, for example.

Voting for a suggestion on Productboard requires users to enter and confirm their email address, indicate how important the feature is to them, and add a personalised comment with their vote.

Feature Upvote is designed to be easy for users to contribute feedback.

The tool lets people vote in one click, without signing up or sharing their email address. A spam detection algorithm takes care of automatically isolating spam and duplicate suggestions, comments, and votes to prevent abuse.

With Feature Upvote, end users also can see what other people have suggested, upvoted, and commented on. This makes Feature Upvote a prime choice for community-driven products that want to promote transparency and user collaboration.
