The FeedBear alternative with an API-first approach
FeedBear is simple but limited. Boarbs gives you the same simplicity with a free plan, open API, keyboard-first UX, and no team member caps — even on the lowest tier.

What FeedBear users keep telling us
These are the reasons teams give when they move from FeedBear to Boarbs. Not marketing spin — real frustrations we hear every week.
Team member caps hold you back
FeedBear's Lite plan allows only 1 team member. Even the Startup plan caps you at 3. Boarbs gives you unlimited team members on every plan — including Free. Your whole team can manage feedback without upgrading.
No public API to build on
FeedBear doesn't offer a public API. That means no custom integrations, no automations, and no way to fit feedback into your existing workflows. Boarbs is API-first — every feature you see in the UI is available through the API.
English only — no multi-language support
FeedBear only supports English. If your product serves international users, their feedback experience is limited. Boarbs supports multiple languages out of the box so your global users feel at home.
Removing branding costs $99/mo
FeedBear keeps its branding on your boards unless you're on the Business plan at $99/mo. Boarbs lets you remove branding on Pro for just $29/mo — and every plan includes custom CSS and branding options.

An honest look at how both tools compare across the features that matter most for feedback management.
What you actually pay at each stage
FeedBear charges per team member and gates features behind higher tiers. Here's what that looks like compared to Boarbs at real-world scale.
Every Boarbs plan includes
- Unlimited voters on every plan
- Unlimited team members on every plan
- 3 boards free, up to unlimited on Pro ($29/mo)
- Public API and webhooks included
- Embed, widget, and portal
- Self-serve cancellation
FeedBear's team-based pricing explained
FeedBear limits team members per plan — 1 on Lite, 3 on Startup, 10 on Business. If your team grows, you're forced to upgrade even if you don't need extra features. Key capabilities like custom domain, integrations, and branding removal are locked to higher tiers.
For growing teams that want everyone involved in managing feedback, the per-seat model adds up fast. Boarbs charges by boards, not team members — your entire team has access from day one.
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 FeedBear might still make more sense.
