What FeatureOS users keep telling us
These are the reasons teams give when they move from FeatureOS to Boarbs. Not marketing spin — real frustrations we hear every week.
Per-seat pricing adds up fast
FeatureOS charges $15/mo for every team member beyond the plan limit. A 10-person team on the Growth plan costs $120/mo — and adding 5 more seats bumps it to $195/mo. With Boarbs, every plan includes unlimited team members. Your bill stays the same no matter how big your team gets.
$60/mo just to get started
FeatureOS's free plan caps you at 2 team members and 2 boards — fine for a solo founder, not for a real team. Their first paid plan is $60/mo. Boarbs Free gives you 3 boards with unlimited team members, unlimited posts, and unlimited votes. Need more? Pro starts at $29/mo.
Five modules you might not need
FeatureOS bundles feedback boards, roadmaps, forms, changelogs, and a knowledge base into one product. If you just need feedback and voting, you're paying for complexity you'll never use. Boarbs focuses on doing feedback boards exceptionally well — fast, clean, and simple.
API access locked behind $120/mo
Need to integrate feedback into your workflow? FeatureOS gates API access behind their Growth plan at $120/mo. Boarbs includes a full API on every paid plan starting at $19/mo — and it's API-first by design, not an afterthought.
Boarbs vs FeatureOS — side by side
An honest look at how both tools compare across the features that matter most for feedback management.
What you actually pay as your team grows
FeatureOS charges per seat — every team member beyond the plan limit costs $15/mo extra. Here's what that costs at real-world scale 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, posts, and votes
- Embed, widget, and portal
- API access on all paid plans
- Self-serve cancellation
FeatureOS's per-seat model explained
FeatureOS bundles seats into each plan — 2 on Free, 5 on Starter, 10 on Growth, 15 on Business. Every additional team member costs $15/mo on top of your plan price. As your team grows, so does your bill.
On top of seats, FeatureOS also limits boards ($15/mo per extra board) and integrations (3 on Starter, 5 on Growth). Boarbs charges only by boards — team members, voters, and integrations are never metered.
Who should switch — and who shouldn't
Boarbs isn't for everyone. Here's an honest look at who we're the right fit for and when FeatureOS might still make more sense.
