UserJot Alternative: Upvoted vs UserJot Compared

The closest match in this set. They differ on how much of the judgement is the model's.

UserJot and Upvoted are the same shape. Both are a public board, a roadmap that follows the statuses, and a changelog that tells the people who voted. Both are self-serve, both price the workspace rather than the reader, and either can be live the afternoon you sign up. If these two are your shortlist, nothing on this page is going to be a shock.

Start with the part that is not in our favour. UserJot puts no limit on how many people you add, on any plan. Upvoted Pro includes two seats and Max lifts the limit, so a five-person team that wants everyone in has to be on Max. Count your seats first, because that is the one difference on this page decided for you rather than by you.

The real split is how much of the work each tool hands to a model. UserJot leads with it: duplicates spotted as someone posts, tags applied for you, release posts drafted. Upvoted takes the opposite default. Automatic tagging exists, but it is off until you switch it on, it may only pick from tags you have already created, and it is never asked to invent one. Duplicates are found by searching the board and merged by a person, which carries the votes across and counts anyone who voted on both only once. Release notes are written by you. Neither default is right in general; they suit different temperaments, and it is worth knowing which one is yours before you pick.

The second split is what a vote is worth once it is cast. In Upvoted a collaborator's vote is counted separately from the public's, so a board that is busy because your own team is enthusiastic looks different from one that is busy because your customers are. On top of that an admin can score a request for impact and effort from 1 to 5, and the priority that comes out is votes × impact ÷ effort, plotted on a four-quadrant matrix. Those scores belong to the team: the public board, the API, the widget and Zapier never show them.

UserJot is a good tool and the closest thing to Upvoted in this comparison set. The questions worth asking are whether you want a model doing the filing, whether the difference between internal and public demand matters to you, and whether you need the board on your own domain today, because that last one is theirs, not ours.

Choose UserJot if

UserJot is a feedback board, roadmap and changelog for SaaS teams, with AI running through the middle of it.

  • You want every teammate reading the board without thinking about seats or plans.
  • You want the tool to do the filing: duplicates caught on the way in, tags applied, the release post drafted.
  • You need the board on your own domain now, which Upvoted cannot do yet.
  • One view of demand is enough, and separating your team's votes from your users' would only be noise.

Choose Upvoted if

Feature voting, a public roadmap and a changelog, from one account.

  • You want to see the difference between what your team wants and what your users want.
  • You want to rank by more than the count: impact, effort and a matrix your users never see.
  • You would rather approve new requests before they appear than tidy up afterwards.
  • You want the model to be something you switch on, not the path the product takes by default.

Switching from UserJot

There is no one-click UserJot importer here. What there is: a CSV import that reads Canny's export and Upvoted's own as they are, and takes any other export once its columns have been renamed to match ours. Send us the file and we will map it for you. Titles, descriptions, statuses, tags and vote counts come across, so the ranking you have built up over months does not reset on the day you move.

Vote counts arrive as counts. An export gives us a number, not the people behind it, so those voters cannot be notified when the request ships and nothing here invents them; anyone who votes after the move is a real contributor again. The other half of the job is the link. Swap the board URL in your docs, your onboarding emails and your in-app menu, or drop the Upvoted widget in where the UserJot one sat, bound to your own button if you would rather it did not look like a widget.

Common questions

Can I move my UserJot board across?
Yes, through the CSV import. Titles, descriptions, statuses, tags and vote counts come over once the export's columns are renamed to match ours, and we will do that mapping for you if you send us the file.
Does Upvoted use AI?
In one place. A board can have incoming requests tagged automatically, choosing only from tags it already has, and it is off until you turn it on because it costs a model call per request. Nothing else on the board is written by a model.
Can I put the board on my own domain?
Not yet. Boards live at upvoted.io/boards/your-board, and the widget puts the board inside your own app in the meantime. If a custom domain is a requirement today, that is a point in UserJot's column.
We are five people. Which plan is that?
Max, which has no seat limit. Pro is one board and two seats. UserJot does not charge by the person at all, so if seat count is what decides this for you, they win that one.
Can I import my existing feedback?
A Canny post export and a CSV exported from another Upvoted board are both read directly, bringing requests, statuses, tags and vote counts across so you are not restarting from zero. Exports from other tools import once their columns are renamed to match; tell us which tool and we will map it for you. Canny gives us a vote count rather than the voters themselves, so counts survive the move but those people cannot be notified when the request ships.
Do my users need an account to vote?
No. Public boards accept votes from anyone, with email verification available if you want to keep the numbers honest.
