Your early users are telling you what to build next. You just need to listen. One line of code. Free forever until you outgrow it. See what your users want. Build it. Ship faster.
You're bootstrapped or pre-Series A. Your dev time is your bottleneck, not money. Every sprint matters. Shipping the wrong feature costs you weeks you can't get back. Your users know what they want. They're sitting in Slack, in emails, in customer chats telling you. But unless you have a system to surface what actually matters—what multiple people want, not just whoever shouts loudest—you're guessing.
A few of your users are already feature-requesting. You could send them to an external portal. But they won't use it. They'll just email you instead. Embed voting in your app, they'll vote right there. You get signal. They see their ideas ranked. You both win.
You don't need hundreds of users to benefit from feature voting. In fact, the best time to start is early—when your feedback pool is small but vocal. Here's the timeline:
At this stage, you're having customer conversations anyway. Add a voting widget. Your 10 beta users will tell you what's broken and what should come next. You'll see patterns in their votes that guide your roadmap. This is when customer feedback is most valuable—before you've locked in the wrong direction.
This is your PMF-hunting phase. Feature voting becomes critical. You're still pivoting, still learning. Vote data tells you if you're heading the right direction. Are people asking for the same feature? That's a signal to double down. Are votes scattered across 20 different things? That's a signal your positioning is unfocused.
You've found something that works. Now you're building features to make the product more complete before you do a wider launch. Feature voting tells you which gaps matter most to your early users. Before you announce to the world, ship what your current users are asking for. This builds loyalty and gives you momentum going public.
You get a score. You get some qualitative feedback. But you don't know what to build. It's backward-looking ("how happy are you?") instead of forward-looking ("what do you want next?"). Surveys are monthly. Feature voting is continuous.
Essential for deep context. But they're 1-on-1, time-consuming, and they tell you what that one customer thinks, not what your whole user base wants. Feature voting scales. 50 users voting takes seconds to collect and analyze. 50 interviews takes weeks.
Your support team sees patterns. But extracting signal from Slack, email, and support tickets manually is slow. Feature voting aggregates the demand into one place, ranked by how many people want each feature. You see the signal without the noise.
Quantitative. Always-on. Low friction. You see exactly what your users want, ranked by demand. You can build a roadmap in minutes, not weeks of analysis. Plus, users see their votes move through "Planned" → "In Progress" → "Shipped," which builds loyalty.
$79/mo minimum. $300+ if you have 100 users.
Fine if you've already raised. Death if you haven't.
Free forever. 50 votes/month is plenty at your stage.
Upgrade to $9/mo when you actually need it. Pay for what you use.
The free tier isn't a crippled demo. It's a real product tier.

Drop it in your app. Create a board. Done. Your users can vote.
Setup docs take 10 minutes. No webhooks to configure. No API calls to learn.
Your users vote without leaving your app. That's it. They don't bounce to a feedback portal they'll never visit again.
See what multiple users actually want. Spam protection so one person with 5 fake accounts doesn't skew your roadmap.
See votes ranked. Add statuses. Ship features. Update customers that you shipped what they asked for.
1 project. 50 votes/month. Enough for early stage. No credit card required.
When you hit 50 votes a month (real users care, you're running multiple projects, or your team expanded), flip to Starter ($9/mo). Unlimited votes. 3 projects. Changelog to celebrate shipping.
If you scale further, Pro is $19/mo. Unlimited everything. Still cheaper than Canny's base tier.
Yes. Free tier: 1 project, 50 votes/month, unlimited features. No credit card required. No feature limit. It's not a trial—it's a real product tier designed for early-stage teams. Use it as long as you want. When you grow past 50 votes/month, you can upgrade to Starter ($9/mo).
As soon as you have users. Even 5-10 beta users. The earlier you start, the better. You'll see patterns in what they want. You'll avoid building features nobody needs. You'll ship faster because you're prioritizing by actual demand, not guesses. The free tier of FeatureVoter is exactly right for this stage.
Surveys are snapshots. You send one out quarterly. Feature voting is continuous. Users vote when they think of a feature, when the need is fresh. Voting is also way lower friction—takes 5 seconds versus 5 minutes for a survey. You'll get 10x more responses. And you get a ranked list, not just scattered feedback to analyze.
Absolutely. Start with 5. Start with 10. At these sizes, feature voting is more valuable because you see patterns faster and can act on them. With 10 users voting, you'll see exactly what matters. With 100 users, votes are more meaningful but the behavior is the same. Early is better.
You'll hit 50 votes/month (meaning real traction, more users, or more feature requests). At that point, upgrade to Starter ($9/mo). You get 3 projects, 500 votes/month, changelog, and more. Still cheaper than Canny's lowest tier. If you scale further, Pro is $19/mo with unlimited everything.
No. You can embed the widget in under 5 minutes. One line of code. If you don't know how to add a script tag, your developer can do it in 2 minutes. It's that simple. No API integration, no webhooks, no configuration. Create an account, create a board, add the widget, done.
