The 6 best Upvoty alternatives in 2026
Upvoty is a simple feedback voting board at a low price — roundups list it from $15 a month (IdeaPlan's comparison). For a founder who wants a board live this afternoon, that's the appeal, and for a while it's enough.
The alternatives search usually starts when a team outgrows it: per-board limits start to pinch (FeedBear makes this argument, as a competitor), or the team wants deeper integrations, better analysis, or feedback that never arrives through a board at all. So the honest axis is: do you need a better board, or a different capture model? We build Modem, one of the entries below; judge our ranking with that in mind.

report writtenThe short version
| Tool | What it is | Pricing model |
|---|---|---|
| Featurebase | Board, roadmap, changelog, surveys, support inbox | Per seat, free plan |
| Canny | The most established board | Per tracked user, free plan |
| FeedBear | Simple board with unlimited boards and users | Flat monthly |
| Nolt | The most minimal clean board | Flat monthly |
| Sleekplan | Board plus changelog, NPS, in-app widget | Low per-plan tiers |
| Modem | Automatic capture, no board | Flat monthly, unlimited users |
1. Featurebase
Featurebase is the usual step up from Upvoty: the same voting-board core with a modern UI, plus roadmap, changelog, surveys, and a support inbox, on a free plan and per-seat paid tiers (FeatureOS breaks down the pricing). You're trading Upvoty's simplicity for a bundle, so make sure you want the bundle.
Where it fits: teams that outgrew the board and want the surrounding surface — changelog, surveys, support — from one vendor.
2. Canny
Canny is the most established product in the category: posts, votes, statuses, public roadmap, and automatic notifications to voters when things ship. It's the safest choice, with one check to run first: pricing is per tracked user and scales with community activity (Formbricks details the tiers), which is a different cost curve than Upvoty's flat plans. See our Modem vs Canny comparison.
Where it fits: teams that want the most mature board and can live with tracked-user pricing.
3. FeedBear
FeedBear keeps Upvoty's simplicity and removes the scaling worry: its plans include unlimited boards and tracked users at a flat monthly price (their comparison — a competitor's page, read it as one). The product is deliberately close to Upvoty's shape: boards, roadmap, changelog, nothing exotic.
Where it fits: teams that like Upvoty but keep hitting its limits.
4. Nolt
Nolt is the most minimal entry here: one clean voting board, statuses, and a roadmap view. If Upvoty already felt like the right amount of tool and you just want a nicer version of it, Nolt is that.
Where it fits: small teams that want the simplest possible board.
5. Sleekplan
Sleekplan bundles a board with a changelog, NPS surveys, and an in-app widget at startup-friendly prices. It's the option if the thing pulling you off Upvoty is wanting feedback capture inside your app rather than on a separate site.
Where it fits: startups that want the widget-plus-board combination cheaply.
6. Modem — a different approach
Modem isn't a board, and if a public voting page is what your users expect, one of the five above is the answer. We build Modem; weigh this entry accordingly.
The reason it's here: many teams outgrow Upvoty not because the board is too small but because the board only ever saw a fraction of the feedback. The rest lands in Slack and Discord threads, support tickets, and email. Modem captures from those channels automatically, dedupes and quantifies the requests, files the real ones into Linear, Jira, or GitHub, and closes the loop when the fix merges — matching the shipped PR back to everyone who asked. What stands in for the board is the context graph Modem builds underneath: every request linked to who asked, from whichever channel.
Where it fits: devtools and B2B teams whose feedback lives in chat and support, not on a board. Where it doesn't: consumer products with an active voting community — that's board territory.
How to choose
If Upvoty's shape is right and only its limits are wrong, FeedBear or Nolt keep the simplicity. If you want the board plus everything around it, Featurebase is the bundle and Canny the established standard. If in-app capture matters most, Sleekplan. And if the board was never where your feedback actually showed up, the problem is capture, not boards — we wrote a broader breakdown of which feedback tool fixes which bottleneck for that decision, and our take on board alternatives generally.
