What ProductLift users keep telling us
These are the reasons teams give when they move from ProductLift to Boarbs. Not marketing spin — real frustrations we hear every week.
Per-seat pricing adds up fast
ProductLift charges $14–18/mo per admin seat. A team of 5 already pays $70–90/mo — and that grows with every hire. Boarbs charges per board, not per person. Unlimited team members on every plan, including free.
No free plan — just a 14-day trial
ProductLift only offers a 14-day trial, then you're on a paid plan. Boarbs Free gives you 3 boards with unlimited voters, unlimited posts, and unlimited team members. No time limit, no credit card.
Feature bloat slows you down
ProductLift bundles roadmaps, changelogs, knowledge base, AI scoring frameworks, and more into one tool. If you just need clean feedback boards, that's a lot of UI to navigate. Boarbs focuses on doing feedback right — fast, keyboard-first, zero clutter.
Login walls create friction
ProductLift can require user accounts for voting and posting feedback. That adds friction at the exact moment someone wants to share an idea. Boarbs lets anyone vote with just their email — one click, no signup flow.

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
ProductLift bills per admin seat — each person managing feedback costs $14–18/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
ProductLift's per-seat model explained
ProductLift charges per admin seat — each team member who manages feedback, triages requests, or updates the roadmap needs their own seat at $14–18/mo. End-users (voters) are unlimited, but admin costs scale linearly with team size.
For growing teams where multiple PMs, designers, and engineers need access, per-seat pricing can add up quickly. Boarbs charges by boards, not by people — so your whole team can collaborate without increasing costs.
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 ProductLift might still make more sense.
Switch to Boarbs if…
Boarbs is the better choice when:
- You just need feedback boards without roadmap, changelog, and knowledge base bloat
- Your team is growing and per-seat costs are adding up
- You want a genuinely free tier — not a 14-day trial
- Frictionless voting matters — your users shouldn't need accounts
- You value keyboard-first, fast UX for managing feedback
- You prefer transparent per-board pricing over per-seat billing
ProductLift might be better if…
Consider staying with ProductLift when:
- You need a built-in roadmap, changelog, and knowledge base in one tool
- You use AI prioritization frameworks like RICE, ICE, or MoSCoW
- You need Jira sync and Slack notifications out of the box
- You bought a lifetime deal and your price is locked in
