The 7 best Frill alternatives in 2026

Frill gets a lot right: a clean board, roadmap and announcements, and unlimited teammates and tracked users on every plan. So why look for an alternative? Three reasons come up.

No free plan. Frill offers a 14-day trial and then you pay. Most tools on this list have a free tier you can stay on.

The cap and the add-ons. Startup at $25 allows 50 active ideas. Private boards, surveys and white labeling are $25 to $100 a month each on top, so Business with two add-ons costs more than Growth. We broke it down in Frill pricing explained.

Web only. Frill is a JavaScript widget. If your product is an iOS or macOS app, your users vote in an embedded web view. There is no native SDK.

Here are the seven alternatives worth your shortlist.

1. WishKit, best free alternative for apps and SaaS

Full disclosure: WishKit is our product. It is a focused feature request board with a real free plan, and it renders natively inside apps as well as inline on websites.

WishKit gives you voting, comments, statuses, and duplicate merging. iOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS and tvOS apps get a native SwiftUI SDK, websites embed the same board with two lines of HTML, and WishKit can even capture feature requests from posts on X.

• Pricing: free plan with one project. Premium is a flat $15/mo, or $12.50/mo billed yearly, with two projects. Enterprise is $39/mo with unlimited projects. Unlimited users on every plan.
• Pick it if: you want a focused board that is free to start with nothing sold as an add-on, and especially if your product is an app.
• Skip it if: you want a roadmap and announcements module bundled in.

2. UserJot, best free plan among web boards

UserJot is a modern web feedback board whose free plan includes two boards, three admins, unlimited posts and voters, a roadmap, and a changelog.

• Pricing: free plan, Starter at $29/mo with five boards, Professional at $59/mo with unlimited boards.
• Pick it if: you want a fair free tier for a web product.
• Skip it if: your product lives on Apple platforms. Here is our comparison with WishKit.

3. Sleekplan, best all-in-one on a budget

Sleekplan packs a feedback board, roadmap, changelog, and NPS surveys into one website widget with a free single-admin plan.

• Pricing: free plan, Starter at $13/mo billed yearly, Business at $38/mo. See Sleekplan pricing explained.
• Pick it if: you want survey and changelog features included cheaply.
• Skip it if: you prefer one focused tool over five modules. Here is our comparison with WishKit.

4. Upvoty, best focused web board

Upvoty is a focused voting board with a public roadmap and unlimited tracked users on every plan, billed per project.

• Pricing: no free plan, 14-day trial. Power at $15/mo for one project, Super at $25/mo, Hyper at $49/mo with unlimited projects. See Upvoty pricing explained.
• Pick it if: you run one product and want a polished board.
• Skip it if: you need a free plan or several projects on the entry tier. Here is our comparison with WishKit.

5. FeedBear, best simple board for small teams

FeedBear is a simple board with roadmap and changelog, unlimited end users, and pricing that steps up with team members and boards.

• Pricing: no free plan, 14-day trial. Lite at $19/mo for one board and one member, Startup at $49/mo for unlimited boards and three members, Business at $99/mo.
• Pick it if: you want a plain, well-made board and have a small team.
• Skip it if: you need a free plan or more than one board on the entry tier. Here is our comparison with WishKit.

6. Canny, best for deep integrations

Canny is the most established tool in the category, with mature Jira, Salesforce, Intercom and Zendesk integrations and AI deduplication.

• Pricing: free plan up to 25 tracked users, Pro from $79/mo billed yearly for 100 tracked users, climbing from there. Details in Canny pricing explained.
• Pick it if: you are a mid-size product team with a deep tool stack.
• Skip it if: tracked-user billing worries you as your user base grows.

7. Fider, best open-source option

Fider is the established open-source feedback board: users post ideas, vote, and follow status updates, and you host it with Docker and a PostgreSQL database.

• Pricing: free self-hosted; a paid managed cloud tier handles hosting for you.
• Pick it if: you want full data ownership and are comfortable operating your own server.
• Skip it if: you want a tool that runs itself. Self-hosting is never actually free once your time counts.
