Frill Alternatives for Ideas Boards, Roadmaps and Surveys
Frill is an ideas board, public roadmap and announcements tool, with NPS, CSAT and poll surveys built in. Every paid plan includes unlimited admins and widgets, which makes it easy to bring a whole team in. Some teams still look elsewhere, often because of how the entry plan is capped or because their product is a native app. This post covers those reasons and six alternatives.
We make FeedbackKit, so read this with that in mind. Every fact about Frill and the other tools comes from each provider's own pages, checked on 17 October 2026 and linked where used. Prices change, so confirm anything decision-critical on the provider's pricing page.
The short version
- Frill has no free plan, and its Startup plan is capped at 50 active ideas and 1 survey.
- For surveys next to feedback, look at Sleekplan or Featurebase. For a free web board with a roadmap and changelog, look at UserJot or Canny.
- For voting inside a native iOS, Android, Flutter or React Native app, FeedbackKit is built for that.
- If you want ideas, announcements and surveys in one tool with unlimited admins, Frill may still be the best fit.
Why teams look for a Frill alternative
From Frill's own pricing page:
- No free plan. There is a 14-day free trial with no card, then the cheapest plan is Startup at $25 a month, or $22 a month billed yearly.
- The entry plan is capped. Startup includes 50 active ideas and 1 survey. Unlimited ideas start on Business at $49, or $44 billed yearly.
- Some features are add-ons. Privacy (private boards, pre-approval), unlimited Surveys and White Labeling are sold as add-ons, with no add-on price shown. All three are included on Growth, at $149 a month or $136 billed yearly.
- Built for the web. Frill's integration is an embeddable widget for websites and web apps. Its pages list no native mobile SDK.
A cap of 50 active ideas is plenty for some products and tight for others. If you expect a busy board, or need privacy without the Growth price, it is worth comparing.
What to look for in an alternative
- Whether you need surveys at all. If NPS and CSAT matter, keep to tools that include them. If not, a plain voting board is usually cheaper.
- Caps on the entry plan. Ideas, boards, seats or tracked users. Work out which one you will hit.
- Where users give feedback. A web widget for a website, or native screens inside an app.
- Roadmap and announcements. If customers read your release notes in the same tool, check that the alternative has a changelog.
Six Frill alternatives
Sleekplan
Sleekplan combines a feedback board, changelog, roadmap, NPS, CSAT and surveys, with an AI layer called Sleek Intelligence. It fits teams who want surveys and voting together and a free tier to start. The pricing page lists Indie, free forever, with a single admin, the feedback board and changelog. Starter is 15 a month, or 13 billed yearly, for 3 seats with CSAT and NPS. The currency follows your location. Its docs describe a JavaScript widget, a custom domain, or an iframe or mobile webview, and no native SDK. See FeedbackKit vs Sleekplan.
Featurebase
Featurebase pairs a helpdesk with live chat and feedback boards, a roadmap, a changelog and surveys. It fits teams who want support conversations and feedback in one subscription. Its pricing page lists a Free plan with 1 seat, 1 board and 1 roadmap, and Growth at $29 per seat per month billed yearly, or $37 billed monthly, which adds surveys, the public changelog page and in-app widgets. For mobile apps, its installation overview describes a WebView. See FeedbackKit vs Featurebase.
Canny
Canny is a feedback portal, roadmap and changelog with Autopilot AI that captures feedback from support and sales tools. It fits B2B SaaS teams with a CRM and a sales team. On the pricing page, Free is $0 for 25 tracked users, and Pro starts at $79 a month billed yearly, or $99 monthly, for 100 tracked users, rising with tracked users. See FeedbackKit vs Canny and our Canny review.
FeedbackKit
FeedbackKit is in-app feedback and feature voting for app teams. It fits products where users live in a native app. SDKs for Swift and SwiftUI (iOS, macOS and visionOS 26 or later), Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, Flutter and React Native give you ready-made screens for submitting, voting and commenting. A new request starts with its submitter's vote. Your app passes each user's MRR through the SDK on every plan, so requests can be sorted by the revenue behind them. On Pro and up, requests sync status with GitHub, Linear, Notion, ClickUp, Monday.com, Trello, Airtable, Asana and Basecamp. The pricing page lists Free at $0 for 1 project and 10 visible feedback items per project, Pro at $15 a month or $150 a year, and Team at $39 a month or $390 a year. FeedbackKit has no surveys and no NPS. Setup guides: Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native.

UserJot

FeedBear
FeedBear is a hosted board with a roadmap, changelog and custom statuses on every plan. It fits small teams with a web product.

Nolt
Nolt is a hosted feedback board with a roadmap and a changelog, and unlimited users, content and admins on every plan. It fits teams who want a flat price and lots of admins without surveys. The pricing page lists Essential at $39 a month, or $29 a month billed as $348 a year, for 1 board. New boards get a 10-day Pro trial. See FeedbackKit vs Nolt.

When to stay with Frill
- You want an ideas board, roadmap, announcements and NPS, CSAT and poll surveys in one tool.
- You want unlimited admins and unlimited tracked users on every paid tier, so the price does not move as your team or audience grows.
- You prioritise with your own factors: the pricing page lists a priority matrix and custom priority factors.
- You need custom statuses, Jira, or white labelling with email from your own domain.
- Your product is a website or web app, where Frill's widget fits naturally.

When FeedbackKit is not the right fit
If surveys are a big part of why you use Frill, FeedbackKit will not replace them: it has no NPS, CSAT or surveys. It has no hosted public roadmap and no changelog or announcements for your users. FeedbackKit can show a roadmap and a board of requests on your own website through an iframe, and visitors can vote on the board when you turn voting on. It has no Jira, Azure DevOps, Zapier or Make, and no custom statuses. The Swift SDK needs iOS 26, macOS 26 or visionOS 26 or later. For a product that lives on the web, the JavaScript SDK is a headless client, so a hosted tool will be quicker to set up. There is no in-app chat either.
Choosing
Start with the feature you would miss most. If it is surveys, Sleekplan and Featurebase are the closest matches. If it is a free public board, UserJot or Canny. If it is voting inside a native app, try FeedbackKit. For a wider view of boards, read our round-up of feature request tools, and if you want to see FeedbackKit in your own app, start free.
