What Sleekplan users keep telling us
These are the reasons teams give when they move from Sleekplan to Boarbs. Not marketing spin — real frustrations we hear every week.
Key features locked behind top tiers
Sleekplan gates post merging, user segmentation, and custom domains to its Business plan at $38/mo. With Boarbs, you get the full feature set on every plan — including free. No artificial upsell walls.
Pricing that seems cheap but adds up
Sleekplan's Starter at $13/mo sounds good until you hit limits: 3 team seats, 5,000 monthly announcements, and 2,000 popups. Need more? Jump to $38/mo. Boarbs charges per board, not per capability — and team members are always unlimited.
Widget setup that slows you down
Sleekplan requires embedding a JavaScript SDK, configuring widget positioning, and managing user attributes. Boarbs gives you a shareable portal URL in seconds — or embed with a single line of code. No SDK configuration needed.
Duplicate feedback with no bulk tools
Sleekplan doesn't show voters similar existing ideas when submitting feedback, leading to duplicate posts. And there's no bulk editing to clean them up. Boarbs merges and manages duplicates so your board stays organized.

An honest look at how both tools compare across the features that matter most for feedback management.
What you actually pay as you grow
Sleekplan limits team seats and gates features by tier. Here's what each scenario actually costs 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
Sleekplan's tier-based model explained
Sleekplan splits features across three paid tiers. The free Indie plan only includes a feedback board and changelog — no roadmap, no surveys, no analytics. The Starter plan at $13/mo adds those but caps you at 3 team seats and 5,000 monthly announcements.
To unlock post merging, user segmentation, and custom domains, you need the Business plan at $38/mo. For growing teams that need full functionality, costs add up quickly. Boarbs charges by boards, not by features — so you always get the complete toolset.
