What Savio users keep telling us
These are the reasons teams give when they move from Savio to Boarbs. Not marketing spin — real frustrations we hear every week.
Per-admin pricing adds up fast
Savio starts at $39/mo for one admin, then charges $23–$49 per additional admin depending on your plan. A product team of 5 on the Professional plan pays $235/mo. Boarbs includes unlimited team members on every plan — even free.
Built for enterprise, not simplicity
Savio is designed around CRM integrations, customer segmentation, and revenue-weighted prioritization. If you don't use Salesforce or HubSpot, you're paying for features you'll never touch. Boarbs focuses on what matters: collecting feedback and shipping what users want.
No public voting without extra work
Savio's voting boards require configuration for public access, SSO setup, and visibility controls. Their core workflow is internal — feedback goes through admins. Boarbs gives you a public board with frictionless voting out of the box. Anyone can vote with just their email.
Slow to set up, slow to manage
Savio requires you to connect integrations, configure triage workflows, and set up user roles before you get value. Boarbs takes 2 minutes: create a board, share the link, start collecting votes. No integration required to get started.
Boarbs vs Savio — 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
Savio charges per admin — every Owner, Admin, or Manager seat adds to your bill. Here's what that costs 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-admin billing
- Self-serve cancellation
Savio's per-admin model explained
Savio charges for every Owner, Admin, and Manager seat. While Contributors, Viewers, and Submitters are free, anyone who needs to triage feedback, manage the roadmap, or configure integrations counts as a paid admin.
For growing product teams where multiple people need admin access, costs compound quickly — especially on Professional ($79 base + $39/admin) or Business ($249 base + $49/admin) plans. Boarbs charges by boards, not by seats — so your whole team gets full access at no extra cost.
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 Savio might still make more sense.
