Lightweight feedback
without the bloat of Pendo
Pendo is a powerful enterprise analytics suite — but if you just need to collect user feedback and let people vote on features, it's like buying a cargo ship to cross a river. Features.Vote does feedback right, at a price that makes sense.
⚡ 2-min setup + Free trial
"FeaturesVote is straight to the point and easy to use, works exactly as it named. It's a easy-peasy way for your users to request features from you."

Founder at BrandEngine

What Pendo Includes — And Whether You Need It
Pendo bundles six major capabilities. Most teams searching for a "Pendo alternative" only need one of them: feedback collection.
Product Analytics
Usage tracking, feature adoption metrics, funnel analysis, retention cohorts. Powerful — but you need a data team to get value from it.
In-App Guides
Tooltips, modals, walkthroughs, and onboarding tours. Useful for complex products, but a separate category from feedback collection.
Session Replay
Watch recordings of user sessions. Helpful for UX debugging, but doesn't tell you what features users want.
Feedback Module
Users can submit requests inside your app. No voting, no public board, no roadmap — feedback goes into a backlog only your team sees.
NPS & Polls
In-app surveys to measure satisfaction. Point-in-time snapshots — they don't accumulate or prioritize like a voting board.
Data Explorer
Build custom reports and dashboards. Requires significant setup and often a dedicated product ops person to maintain.
If you only need feedback and voting:
You're paying $10K+/year for a platform when $29/mo covers everything you need. Features.Vote gives you voting boards, a public roadmap, and a changelog — the three things that actually close the feedback loop with your users.
