The Userpilot alternative built for feedback, not feature bloat
Userpilot starts at $299/mo and bundles onboarding, analytics, and surveys into one platform. If all you need is a feedback board, Boarbs does it better — for free.

What Userpilot users keep telling us
Teams come to Boarbs when they realize Userpilot's feedback features aren't enough — and the price tag is too much for what they actually use.
You're paying for tools you don't use
Userpilot bundles onboarding flows, product analytics, session replays, and surveys into one platform — starting at $299/mo. If you only need a feedback board, you're paying for a Swiss Army knife when all you need is a screwdriver. Boarbs starts free and does feedback right.
Product adoption suite ≠ feedback tool
Userpilot's feedback is a checkbox feature inside a product adoption platform. There's no public voting board, no community-facing portal, no embeddable widget. Boarbs is purpose-built for feedback: public boards, voting, roadmaps, and API access from day one.
MAU-based pricing punishes growth
Userpilot's Starter plan caps you at 2,000 MAUs. Growth and Enterprise plans scale pricing based on active users. More engagement means higher bills. Boarbs charges per board, not per user — your cost stays flat no matter how many people vote.
No real voting or prioritization
Userpilot offers NPS surveys and in-app feedback widgets, but there's no public voting board where users can upvote feature requests. You can't let your community prioritize what matters most. Boarbs gives you public voting, status updates, and a roadmap your users can follow.
Boarbs vs Userpilot — side by side
Different tools for different jobs. Here's an honest look at what each tool offers — and where each one falls short.
What you actually pay for feedback
Userpilot charges by monthly active users — starting at $299/mo for 2,000 MAUs. Boarbs doesn't count users at all.
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 MAU-based billing
- Self-serve cancellation
Userpilot's pricing model explained
Userpilot prices by monthly active users (MAUs). The Starter plan caps at 2,000 MAUs for $299/mo. Beyond that, Growth and Enterprise plans require custom quotes — and pricing scales with your user base.
If you're using Userpilot primarily for feedback collection, you're paying for onboarding flows, product analytics, and session replays you may not need. Boarbs charges by boards, not users — so you only pay for what you actually use.
Who should switch — and who shouldn't
Boarbs and Userpilot solve different problems. Here's an honest look at when each tool is the right choice.
Switch to Boarbs if…
Boarbs is the better choice when:
- You need a dedicated feedback board — not a product adoption suite
- You want public voting so your community can prioritize feature requests
- You're paying $299+/mo for Userpilot but only using the feedback features
- You want a free tier that actually works for early-stage products
- You need a fast, lightweight tool — not an enterprise platform with a learning curve
- You want transparent pricing that doesn't scale with MAUs
Userpilot might be better if…
Consider staying with Userpilot when:
- You actively use product tours, tooltips, and in-app onboarding flows
- You need built-in product analytics with funnels, paths, and cohort analysis
- NPS surveys with behavioral segmentation are central to your workflow
- You need session replays alongside feedback collection
- You're on an enterprise plan and use SSO, SAML, and data warehouse sync
