Frill Alternatives: 3 Tools, Pricing and Switching Limits

List who manages requests, what customers can see, and how decisions reach them. Include work outside the ideas board: announcing releases, conducting surveys, retaining private evidence, and coordinating internal decisions. A feature list can suggest a shortlist, but each required task needs an observed result before you switch.

Feedbackly fits an owner-managed public request board with voting, comments, and a visible roadmap. Its subscription includes the embedded widget and custom branding. It does not provide shared administration, private boards, custom domains, or a native survey or announcements system. Keep a separate process for those tasks or choose a destination that covers them. Custom branding does not mean a custom domain.

In a fictional example, a solo founder uses one public board and reviews requests each week. Feedbackly is a candidate to test. A team requiring two independent board administrators has a different requirement that Feedbackly does not meet. Use the evaluation checklist to record that distinction before comparing subscription amounts.

The linked official pricing pages are the basis for the table. Frill's Startup plan lists $25 per month with 50 ideas; its paid tiers include unlimited administrators and widgets. Treat the starting price as a package to evaluate, then confirm the allowance and any required options for your own workflow.

For one owner, Feedbackly costs $9 monthly or $90 annually. Twelve monthly payments total $108; annual billing is a $90 upfront commitment. The $39 one-time purchase covers one board and excludes the subscription widget, custom branding, and Notion publishing. Its seven-day trial is temporary access. Compare the package you will use afterwards, rather than assuming every trial capability remains on the one-time plan.

Canny's published free plan provides an entry point with 25 tracked users; its Pro plan starts at $79 per month billed yearly. Upvoty's Power plan lists $15 per month billed monthly and includes a custom domain. Those are different billing and usage models. Record your expected participation, required administrators, billing interval, and essential capabilities beside each quote instead of choosing on the headline number alone.

Save your source records before preparing an import copy. Choose a small public-safe sample with a completed idea, an active request, a long description, and repeated evidence. Compare what the destination publishes with what you intended to retain. A readable title does not establish that the discussion, votes, or subscriptions survived.

Feedbackly has no native Frill migration connector. Its dashboard CSV backlog importer can map titles, descriptions, supported statuses, and valid original dates. Imported requests have zero votes; identities, comments, attachments, and follower subscriptions do not transfer. The separate board-creation CSV preview imports text and starts at Under review. Use the Frill migration guide for the backlog workflow and retain the source history for later questions.

Before replacing the public link, have a participant find a request, vote, add context, and follow a status change. Keep unresolved requirements visible in the decision. Then explain the new destination and retained history with the announcement template. The purpose of the pilot is to verify the work customers and the owner need to complete, not to claim that a switch guarantees faster delivery or more revenue.
