What Rapidr users keep telling us
These are the reasons teams give when they move from Rapidr to Boarbs. Not marketing spin — real frustrations we hear every week.
No free plan — just a 14-day trial
Rapidr doesn't offer a free tier. After your 14-day trial ends, you're paying $49/mo minimum. Boarbs Free gives you 3 boards with unlimited voters, unlimited team members, and unlimited posts — forever, no trial.
A $150/mo gap between plans
Rapidr jumps from $49/mo (5 team members) straight to $199/mo (50 team members). If your team has 6 people, you're paying $199/mo. Boarbs scales smoothly: free for 3 boards, $19 for 10, $29 for unlimited.
Login walls kill feedback
Rapidr requires users to create an account before they can submit feedback or vote. That's friction at the exact moment someone wants to share an idea. Boarbs lets anyone vote with just their email — one click, no signup flow.
Too many features are "Coming Soon"
Rapidr lists roadmap prioritization, changelog reactions, embeddable roadmap, Zendesk, Salesforce, and GitHub integrations all as "Coming Soon." Boarbs ships what's on the box — no vaporware, no waiting.
Boarbs vs Rapidr — 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
Rapidr gates team size behind plan tiers — 5 members on Startup, then a $150/mo jump to Business. Here's what that looks like compared to Boarbs.
Every Boarbs plan includes
- Unlimited voters on every plan
- 3 boards free, up to unlimited on Pro ($29/mo)
- Unlimited team members
- Embed, widget, and portal
- No per-seat billing
- Self-serve cancellation
Rapidr's team-gated pricing explained
Rapidr's Startup plan caps you at 5 team members. The moment your sixth teammate needs access, you jump to $199/mo — a 4x increase with no middle ground.
Key features like SSO, user segmentation, and Jira integration are also locked behind the $199/mo Business plan. Boarbs doesn't gate team size — every plan includes unlimited members.
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 Rapidr might still make more sense.
Switch to Boarbs if…
Boarbs is the better choice when:
- You want a free plan that actually works — not just a 14-day trial
- Your team is growing past 5 and you don't want to pay $199/mo
- Frictionless voting matters — your users shouldn't need accounts
- You value keyboard-first, fast UX for managing feedback
- You need an API-first tool that fits into your workflow
- You want transparent pricing that scales predictably
Rapidr might be better if…
Consider staying with Rapidr when:
- You need a built-in changelog with your feedback tool today
- You rely on Jira or Intercom integrations and need them on day one
- You need SSO (SAML/JWT) and your team is under 50 people
- You prefer a tool with HubSpot integration for sales-led feedback
