What Featurebase users keep telling us
These are the reasons teams give when they move from Featurebase to Boarbs. Not marketing spin — real frustrations we hear every week.
Per-seat pricing adds up fast
Featurebase charges $29–$99 per seat per month. A team of 5 on the Growth plan already costs $145/mo — just for feedback boards. Boarbs charges by boards, not seats: $0 for up to 3 boards, $19/mo for 10, $29/mo for unlimited. Your whole team gets access on every plan.
A support suite you didn't ask for
Featurebase bundles live chat, ticketing, help center, and AI agents into every plan. If you just need feedback boards and a roadmap, you're paying for features you'll never use. Boarbs does one thing well: collect and organize product feedback.
Free plan limited to 1 seat
Featurebase's free plan is capped at a single seat — one person managing all feedback. Boarbs Free gives you 3 boards with unlimited team members, unlimited posts, and unlimited votes. Your whole team can collaborate from day one.
Voters need accounts to participate
Featurebase requires users to sign up before they can vote or submit feedback. That's friction at the worst possible moment. Boarbs lets anyone vote with just their email — one click, no signup flow, no password.

What you actually pay as your team grows
Featurebase bills per seat — every team member who needs access costs $29–$99/mo. Here's what that looks like at real-world team sizes compared to Boarbs.
Every Boarbs plan includes
- Unlimited team members on every plan
- 3 boards free, up to unlimited on Pro ($29/mo)
- Unlimited voters and submissions
- Embed, widget, and portal
- No per-seat billing
- Self-serve cancellation
Featurebase's per-seat model explained
Featurebase charges $29/seat/month on their Growth plan (billed yearly). Every team member who needs to manage feedback, update roadmaps, or respond to users requires a paid seat. The free plan only includes 1 seat.
For growing teams where PMs, designers, and engineers all need visibility into user feedback, seats add up fast. Boarbs includes unlimited team members on every plan — so your whole team can collaborate without worrying about the bill.
