Productboard Alternative: A Lighter Option for Small Teams
Productboard is a product management suite billed per maker. If you mostly need customer voting and a public roadmap, here's how Feevox compares.
Productboard is a product management platform. It pulls customer feedback from tools like Slack, Intercom, and Zendesk into one inbox, links each note to the features it relates to, and helps product managers prioritize and plan roadmaps for stakeholders. Customer voting is one part of it, through a customer portal.
That depth is why teams look for a Productboard alternative. If what you actually want is the customer-facing part — collect ideas, let customers vote, show what's planned and what shipped — a planning suite billed per maker is more tool than the job needs. (Vendor pricing and packaging change often — check productboard.com/pricing for current numbers before deciding.)
TL;DR
Productboard is the deeper tool if you have product managers consolidating feedback from many channels and planning against it. Feevox is narrower on purpose: a public board where customers submit and vote on ideas, a status-based roadmap, and a changelog, priced flat by boards and admins rather than per maker.

Where the real difference is
Productboard is a system for product managers. Its value shows up when feedback arrives from sales calls, support tickets, and Slack threads, and someone needs to tie all of it to features, score them, and present a plan. If that's your week, Productboard is doing real work.
Feevox doesn't try to be that. It covers the loop with your customers: they post an idea, others vote on it, you move it through Planned, In Progress, and Completed on a public roadmap, and you announce it in a changelog linked back to the original request.
Pricing follows the same split. Per-maker billing grows with your product team, so three makers on a ~$59 tier is roughly $177 a month. Feevox's Team plan is $29 a month with unlimited admins, and no plan charges for the number of customers who vote.
Who should switch
If you're a small team and your main feedback channel is your customers themselves, Feevox gives you a public board, roadmap, and changelog without paying for a planning suite you'd only use a corner of.
If you have a product management team pulling feedback in from many tools and planning against it, or you need enterprise controls, Productboard is the better fit — and that's a fair reason to stay.
